A short story by Ames – in which a man with a heart defect named Chris is ‘building a house big enough for [his] family and also everyone named Chris to live in’ – is published in HEAT S3 N16.

@astroblob @ACMI I am so there! Congrats, this looks incredible.

Today, I'm celebrating ten years of love, friendship, and competitive silliness with @claramsankey. Our beautiful pal @caseyjarman has promised to make us an anniversary mug every decade, and it might just be the thing keeping us together.
