I had a sort of incomplete revelation the other day about selkies.
An incomplete revelation is where I realize something, but I’m not entirely sure what I’ve realized, how it works. But I generally know what it has to do with. In this case, it has to do with the otherness of . . . → Read More: Selkie Women
