- Reposted by Iolanda ZanfardinoOver a year since @stobacus.bsky.social first recommended @yozanfardino.bsky.social's "A Thing Called Truth" to me and almost as long since I read the first half and that ending was 100% worth the wait. It's a beautiful and inspiring love story I'm going to be thinking about for a long time to come.
