SUMMER OF SACRED PANIC (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I scheduled this to send on 8/28, 12:12 a.m., at the time of the lunar eclipse in Pisces, regardless of completeness. If you got it in your email, you’ll see a bare-bones aggregate.

In April 2023, I went to visit Amy Winehouse’s grave. It was a trip I’d been planning for a long time, ever since she died in July 2011.
