The road to Alaska
Is long and it’s bendy
But the route to my heart
You long ago travelled, Wendy

Overnight by Dan Richards

V proud of my pal @danzep.bsky.social, whose new book, Overnight, is out now. Among the fascinating stories within - bats, boats, helicopters, healthcare - our sleepless summer sojourn to Le Mans and the Porsche pit garage. What an adventure!

We've all surely felt, at some point, the hot hot heat of an approaching deadline. The temptation to submit a half-arsed piece of work, knowing that it's good enough - and that to make it truly good will require starting again. So who are we to judge the people who did the @nytimes.com Mini today?

Michelle Williams totes a gun as Emily Tetherow in Meek's Cutoff

Been posting #KellyReichardtValentines #poetry at the other place for five years now! Starting it afresh in this less evil domain, beginning with #MeeksCutoff:

Roses are red
Purple's the heather-oh
Happy Saint Valentine's

The Better Help ad woman holds a duck

The Better Help ad woman holds a duck

Obsessed with the Better Help ad woman claiming her problem is isolation having moved to a remote location, not the fact that her husband has turned into a duck.

Several '12 Days of Christmas' poetry books

Several '12 Days of Christmas' poetry books

This feels like a nice positive thing for my first Bluesky post - not that many folks will see it I guess! But anyway I have made a book of #poetry! They describe the strange year in which my true love bought me all the gifts from the well-known Christmas song. I had to deal with a lot of bird poo.
