Once upon a time, writer Roxane Gay and her wife, the illustrator Debbie Millman, set sail to Antarctica. Here, they each tell the tale—well, their version of it.

That's beautiful (the story, the prose, the pictures, the captions), thanks for posting.

And I LOL'd at this: a very Caucasian ambition

This was really lovely. It was nice to see the trip through the eyes of two different people in love and together on an adventure.

This was good and interesting and sweet.

(Edit: even though that's how the piece - that they wrote - credits her in the headline) Debbie Millman is far more than an illustrator - writer, educator, artist, curator, designer, podcast host

I've read just one book by Gay and came away wondering about her relationship. I'm so glad to read this piece and to know she's happy.

Holy moly... I was an HTML monkey at Sterling Brands a very long time ago, when Debbie Millman was a partner there. At the time I had her pegged as a generic ad agency exec. Did not know she had so much else going on.
