Neighbors can be friends in 2026.

Aneri's neighbor Tiera Ashley came over, and within four minutes they were talking about the year she lactated without being pregnant (sleeping pill side effect), whether her boyfriend tried it, and what her own breast milk tasted like.

From there they meandered into transcendental meditation, the drug-dealer boyfriends of our teenage years, and the era when their moms sat at the kitchen table with highlighted phone bills demanding answers.

Both writers, the women cover what it means to be sovereign in a world that would rather you didn't.
