For the night crowd: @irleywrites.bsky.social is a gifted memoirist and I'm lucky she wanted to contribute to the first issue of @major7mag.bsky.social. Don't miss her take on Coldplay's "Yellow"
"I swim across to reach him. When he crumbles and cries, I am there to hold him. We are in a swell of time where what he needs and what I yearn to give are the same. We connect."
