Despite appearances, I did not grow up in the Dust Bowl, but I did start loving hats from the ripe old age of two. Some of my experiences growing up are in MAC WEARS A HAT, some good, some challenging. I hope you enjoy this heartfelt and joyful story. ❤️🎩📚

I could have used this book as a kid... or as an adult. Took me 40 years to figure out how I wanted to dress myself. I can't recommend this book more. For everyone.

There’s a lot of really good, interesting, different writing out there that gets little support from publishers. Seek it out! Don’t settle

The last time I felt this seen, it was 1992 and I was standing in Lambda Rising in Dupont Circle reading a DTWOF strip in the Washington Blade for the first time. So brilliant and funny and the art is always my favorite. It has everything. Go get @alisonbechdel.bsky.social’s SPENT.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
