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!

Between the Sheets, 1983. The brothers take you by the hand into their boudoir, replete with (pink) satin sheets, for an album of slinky 80s soul sensuality that should come with an NSFW label attached.

I’ve filed a claim, even if the cancellation was weather-related (and no, we didn’t fly home via Minneapolis!).

We got home by direct flight yesterday. Two nights later than planned, and we’ll have to give the Twin Cities a raincheck. 💜

When KLM cancels your flight from Dublin to Amsterdam and offers to reroute you via… Minneapolis! 🤯

My dad also thought it was a good idea to take me to see this at age 8. Unforgettable as a result.

Gillian Welch and Dave Rawlings were phenomenal in Dublin tonight. London, Glasgow, Manchester… you are in for a long-awaited treat.

Akin to buying a case of wine on holiday: the amazing album you heard playing in the record shop sounds like utter dross at home.

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

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…
