Thanks for the delightful read, as always! I’m glad to hear you also connected with the June Huh story so deeply; It was incredibly reassuring and inspirational—I ended up sharing it with my mother, who also cried while reading it. Lots of tears to go around, but the good kind of tears, the ones that fall when you feel understood, like there’s someone else out there in the world who *gets* you…

I would absolutely try human flesh, given the chance, and provided it was ethically sourced. My favorite story about that is this guy (https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/8p5xlj/) - who had to amputate his leg, but decided to make the best of it and grill up some tacos for him and his best friends.

after all your cool links, here's one in return: https://stereosite.com/gallery - it's a gallery of stereoscopic photos, so the same subject but taken a few feet apart, and if you have VR goggles or something you can look at them there and look at pictures of buildings or clouds with actual depth perception

Hi Annie! It's always nice recieving one of your newsletters. It's always fun to check your recommendations. As for your love interest question, that seems a little bit oddly specific LOL (didn't even know that such a website existed until today) but personally I wouldn't do it haha. Probably would end up looking quite creepy. And, not a law of nature, but one of my favorite laws is Cunningham's Law: The best way to get the right answer on the Internet is not to ask a question, but to post the wrong answer. I've seen time and time again that it's true.

Hope you're having fun in your euro trip! I have visited Barcelona a few years ago and it's such a wonderful city! I can send you an email full of recommendations if you want :)

Have a good day/night!

Hi Annie!

Thanks for the exceptional email again! I love the quirky though handy links! I guess you aren’t doing a show in Amsterdam, though I wouldn’t have missed it for the world! Hope you’re enjoying our amazing city, and not just the touristic parts! :)
