Hillary is a giant nerd and former Mathlete. She once read large swaths of "Why Evolution is True" and a geology book aloud to her infant daughter, in the hopes of a) instilling a love of science in her from a very young age and b) boring her to sleep. After escaping the wilds of Waco, Texas and spending the next decade in NYC, she currently lives in upstate New York, where she misses being able to get decent pizza and Chinese takeout delivered to her house. She lost on Jeopardy.

GO MEG GO!

As always:

My heart squeezed at Harriet vs Pippi. I don’t know what to do. In the end I suspect it will come down to my ginger sister, Pippi.

I have no horse in the race for both YA and adult Sci Fi so would love to hear suggestions on who should get my vote.

NO! EVERY SINGLE CHOICE MAKES MY HEART HURT!!!!!!!!

PIPPPIIIIIIII

I will set mister Nilsson on everyone that doesn’t vote for her. She was the only ginger role model in my childhood. (no, Annie does NOT count). Pippi pippi pippi

(Pippi fashionably dressed for the bad Spring)

I *may* have once tied helium balloons to my hair to get my braids to stick out like that. Pretty much anything goes in small-town 4th of July parades.
