Should I need to gallop over dark waters to you on short notice

I dreamed of running around a devastated forest with a backpack of videocassettes, which I guess is how my brain interpreted the imminent 'Thon. Have some stray links.

1. Celebrating Annie Glenn on the eve of her hundredth birthday.

2. Christopher Eccleston being candid about mental health.

3. I like both of these poems: Liz Berry's "The Burning" and Talin Tahajian's "Bad classics."

I shall return in some number of hours.

OMG "The Burning" dazzles. Fan TAS tic. "Her pelvis a cradle of jeweled tinder" <3 <3

But/And I like "Bad classics" very much too--this:

I don’t know how to write for the God
in whose voice I can only hear
my own sullied desperation.
