I streamed a new NBC show about a neurodivergent doctor. It was a House rip-off. But that didn’t stop me from crying within the first three minutes. After that, I pulled a Tarot card while wondering if I should text Kelly, except I already knew the answer was No No No. Don’t text her. I was singing Indigo Girls’ “Share the Moon” while I held the cards. And then I pulled a card from the bottom third of the deck and it was XVIII. The Moon. And I thought Wow, I really am a witch. And also Don’t text her.
