Thank you, all, for a wondrous Penguicon!

Josie Kusner

Josie (she/they) is a disabled fat autistic with EDS, severe migraine, and a rare muscle and nerve disorder who is queer, pagan, pan, poly, and genderqueer, and a lover of commas, cats, urban fantasy books, and iced coffee. Will probably die petting something they shouldn't.
