2025 resolution: Do more than simply face the Void. Embrace the Void. Caress the Void. Do a tango with the Void. Engage in witty banter with the Void. Play flirtatious mind games with the Void. Form a sexually-charged creative partnership with the inevitable unknowability of all things.

About to move to another country, panicking about all the fairy tale scholarship, history of magic books, literary criticism and George Bernard Shaw biographies I have to leave behind. That’s normal, right?

“Saw all the faces gracelessly tilt/
Saw all the places laced with green wilt/
What a disgrace for all that they built/
Well, what that got to do wit' yo' millions?/
If it ain't gold, get out of yo' feelings.”
