ok. have left the breadcrumbs from facebook and instagram to here.

Admittedly I feel I have certain amount of social media energy I need to vent. But as long as I have a space, I think I might be okay
January 24, 2025 at 6:38 AM
And I think I can break the habit. Have the most followers on Twitter bitd and I no longer feel the need to be on it. So it's possible.

Lillian Au wrote "Arviat" for UPON A MIDNIGHT CLEAR.

The anthology of holidays seemingly best forgotten is a reminder that this is a time of year for reflection, forgiveness, and funny-sad stories.
