Thank you so much. 💜 It is a blessing, in so many ways.
Wow. @cooperdart.bsky.social ‘s @marchxness.bsky.social piece on B&D is fantastic. “And it's not about happiness right there. It's about salvation. It's about, you know, loss in a way.”
💜💜💜 thank you for reading it
Oh I just meant Chris from my Xness essay!
I loved the Crowes even though my friends snubbed them for months. @levin.bsky.social ‘s @marchxness.bsky.social really nails how the band was more than just a derivative bridge between metal & grunge. However, I’m also repping my own ghost story, so this vote’s KHersh & @anniezaleski.bsky.social
Your Ghost was my (reluctant) 2nd choice to write about this @marchxness.bsky.social for just the reason @anniezaleski.bsky.social puts so aptly: “it’s comforting to think that someone we love is just a phone call away, even in the afterlife, and that we can summon them at will to come visit” 💜💜
I wish I could be there too, though I’d be Awkward Queen in Training in that scenario.
Can I tell a funny story? Last spring when I added my name to the lottery, when my @marchxness.bsky.social sadness was still months away, I’d talked through essay/song ideas with Chris. Hey Jealousy was a contender for a funny essay about a dumb bf from college who thought it was “Hey Chelsea.”
I think the below needed @marchxness.bsky.social for visibility. But the app wouldn’t let me repost it. :/
I actually read that *while* I was a cigarette girl (dreaming of being a writer) a few lifetimes ago, and I remember it making me laugh out loud in nerd that the other two girls could not understand.
I sweartagawd the inability to edit posts is going to do me in today.
Also, it is linked in the bio, but in case you missed it, Chris Potter was an amazing person long before being my boyfriend: www.registerguard.com/obituaries/p... While I’m not mentioned, I did add some photos and color commentary to the “memory board.”
No need! I mean, I feel like there are enough cues, even if this WEREN’T March Sadness, that no one should be expecting a wedding photo at the end of this one.
(Who am I kidding—there are lit-er-ally 21 of them. But I only *set* four most days.)
What a beautiful way to say it! Thank you for reading it 💜
Thank you, Jam! Because today was going to be weird, I didn’t even need my 4 alarms.
Um #spoileralert ! (Just kidding. It’s a weird day—but thank you so much for reading it!)
Thank you for reading it 💜💜💜
Thank you. 💜
Thank you. 💜
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Never have I not-wanted to have an essay to write so badly, but I’m so glad for the container Xness offered for all these feelings.
My @marchxness.bsky.social essay was not easy to write, but I’m hoping there’s some beauty to be found in it, along with the sadness. Chris was generally terrible at selfies. Here are some failed attempts that still make me laugh.
I wish I had the kind of belief system that would’ve given me a question to ponder like “Did the sheep eat the flower or not?” But I think my secular heart can get behind the notion that all *his* questions about space and matter were probably answered in whatever way they could’ve been.
Not only is K Hersh a National Treasure, but she blurbed my book. I would possibly wrestle bears for her.
My @marchxness.bsky.social essay (subtitled ‘how last summer went’) is live... Please vote for it! Here’s part of that long bank of windows with a sunset:
Thank you. Genuinely.
💜💜💜 Thank you (?)
My @marchxness.bsky.social essay about Mazzy Star and The Little Prince and a particle physicist is live, y’all. It’s not really something I feel like I should hype up? I’ll probably just be posting some pics… Thank you for reading it and voting your heart! marchxness.com#/1stround-gi...
It seems like there’s a loooot of OR representing this @marchxness.bsky.social Is that coincidence or cognitive bias? it’s not gonna help disabuse the notion that we’re all a buncha SAD sacks shoe gazing at our mud puddled reflections…
Again with the magically delicious matchup—both essays have some anxious trappings, but end on hopeful notes (har), while neither song seems to offer hope so much as a vehicle for objectless anguish. Des’ree is sadder, objectively. But GGD is such an angsty ear worm…. Ugh. <runs out of the room>
