I’m like if a potato became sentient and still really liked her couch and blankets and snuggling, but also really hated capitalism, Christmas, cops, genocide, etc., and really loved sunshine, daffodils, and walking off trail to a pretty tree by the river, and wanted nothing more than to sit on a blanket in the park and drink a vanilla latte and write poetry and kiss other potatoes.
As Described By Kids:
10yo: “Very joyous, but a little too joyous sometimes. Maybe a little bit annoying. But a very good person. If she were a llama or a worm, I’d still love her.”
7yo: “Very sweet, very kind. The best mom I’ve ever seen. I love her more than the cat. (Don’t tell the cat.) I love her a little too much.”
As Described by Partners: “Skylar is one of the silliest and kindest people I’ve ever known. She’s the type of person who will stay up late listening and talking about feelings, then burst into the room at 7:00 AM the next morning, completely naked except for the pride flag that she’s wearing as a cape, to celebrate the start of Pride Month. Her passion for writing is topped only by her passion for committing to a bit, especially if the bit is a pointless act of rebellion against authority (even moreso if the rebellion causes mild stress for the people who love her dearly). She’s a wonderful partner, writer, and friend, with a 10/10 butt.”
As Described by Cat: “She makes fun of my brain cells behind my back. She lets the bottom of my bowl show for hours. She’s a generally bad person.”
As Described by Editors: “Wonderful, contrary, cute, and indulgent,” “quite inspirational,” “lovely story,” “excited to include,” “happy to include, “honored to include,” “I love this,” “really dug the overall vibe of your submission, particularly the vulnerability.”
