I have been sharing this short story for years, before the Internet I got it in a zine. Fantastic. How did I never run across this before.
- I've been sharing this video around for a looooong time, so it's heartening to hear that it is still finding new people who are in the target audience but haven't seen it.
  There are other adaptations that I'll edit into my original post:
