Chloe joined me this month because I have not had access to WiFi for several weeks now and needed someone who could upload the recording. That being said, the connection isn't great because it was on my personal hotspot and the video version ended up being unwatchable for the first 20 minutes or so. I figured a less than perfect forecast was better than no forecast at all, but sorry for the less than stellar quality! May Chloe's brilliance make up for the technical difficulties. They should be resolved after the next episode. You can find more of Chloe's work at www.chloe-margherita.com and join her newsletter at https://recentbedroom.substack.com/ | |||
