Everything Anna says. Especially that last sentence.
Being any writer in the past (and also from the American South) is likely a recipe for “it’s complicated”. Affixing our 21st century mores posthumously (see also Twain’s use of a certain word) is too easy. Might make an O’Connor / Welty / Faulkner day of it!

Thoughts and prayers for you, Daddy!

Policia Local will be at the door soon enough to defend Felipe. 🤴 😊
He ran me over on his bicycle in Frankfurt sometime in the late 80s.

My mood tonight and random web searches have led me to discover the perfect soundtrack, @andrewmale.bsky.social’s ‘Flow My Tears’ playlist.

Hope it’s included on the super-deluxe Dinked edition, ‘Anthology 2’.
Was there, at any point, a temptation to just accept every invite and show up to events? You and that fake New York heiress could work the red carpets of the world in style…
