Cheers to the woman who taught me how to cook grand meal or potato pancakes when times were thin. Cheers to the woman who taught me to be fearless, be that taking apart a vacuum or spinning on ice in a empty parking lot (to see how it feels like and how to react when it happens for real). Cheers to the woman who gave me the love of love of long car rides with CBC or books on tape, and to embrace spontaneity. Cheers Momsy! I love you more than I could express so I will just keep telling you every day #birthgiver #happymothersday #bestfriend #coolwoman #sorryforhurtingyourvagina (that one is really just to make Jason feel uncomfortable and rol his eyes) #sorryforgightingwithmysiblings #sorryfortotallingthecar #greyhairdontcare #feministrolemodel #playinghookeygoingforadrive (at Drunken Sailor)

 In response, Johnson decided to write a spin-off series of Lovecraft’s “Dreamlands,” called “The Dream Quest of Vellitt Boe,” which tells the stories through the P.O.V. of a very fit and formidable older woman. Johnson is confronting hegemonic representations of women in Lovecraft’s works by re-imagining counter-hegemonic alternatives.
