“But, [Maria Luisa], why go on?
For yourself alone I love you.
Considering your merits,
what more is there to say?
That you’re a woman far away
is no hindrance to my love:
for the soul, as you well know,
distance and sex don’t count.”

I don’t want June to end. Every year I’m overjoyed to see the outpouring of pride and support in the queer community. I learned about the 17th century Nun and poet Sor Juana Inés de la Cruz thanks to the Hellfire Club hosted by @mr_s_crane on Patreon. If you’re interested in queer history and magic and how they intertwine I highly recommend subscribing. This month Sebastian has been giving us daily vignettes about queer historical figures from across time. I’m especially grateful to discover people I’ve never read about before!

In other news I’m planning an update for early next month! It will be another installment in the midsummer collection with white linen pieces. Luckily these haven’t been affected by Covid delays. If you are waiting on a piece from me you should have received an email! If not just reach out. My last button shipment was delayed because of an outbreak at the warehouse.
