"I make a firm decision to tell Joe the next time he comes over. Sammy wonβt take it well. She doesnβt take anything well; or rather, she takes things too well, too close to heart."
Every year for the past 7 years I have made a playlist for a ghost. Here is the 2025 incarnation of Mmβs Feels. The big M is my Aunt Marian and the little m is me, her namesake.
Love you, mean it, my sestra.

I fucking love my writing friends.
I tripped and fell and wrote another tiny little poem. Where we sending those these days?
really can't recommend strongly enough that y'all treat yourselves today to a wonderful M.M. Kaufman treat of a poem
"There are many ways
To divide Southerners.
I do it by those who hate
Loud bugs and frogs..."

Itβs here. My favorite thing Iβve ever written. Letβs go to the carwash!

Got good news today for enthusiasts of both carwashes and my writing. Stay tuned!

Are people aware of what flight anxiety is really like? What itβs about, the triggers, the origins, and how it presents? Do I need to put off my novel projects again to write a CNF piece about this plague?
Battling flight anxiety with a pre airport carwash.
There are just not enough people telling me on a daily basis that they wanna rock my Gypsy soul just like way back in the days of old.
