103. The Week in Me
I need your writing prompts!
I feel like I haven’t written to you as much lately - I’ve included my links and my photos of Pomeranians wearing motorcycle jackets but I haven’t written a personal essay or a poem or a list for you in a while. What would you like me to write about? Leave it in the comments.
What I did write is a list of my ten favorite things for one of my favorite writers, ever,
, whose Many Love: A Memoir of Polyamory and Finding Love(s) I recommend to everyone, monogamous or poly or swinger, as it is an approachable guide (and journal! with illustrations!) to finding the love that works for you, how to balance it, and how to transition into new types of love (I have thought of it whenever shifting a relationship from romantic to platonic). You can read that list here. There is a gay dog!
Onto the recs. Again, please let me know what you want me to write about. Send me nonfiction writing prompts. Anything!!!
To listen:

My buddy Rob Sheffield, the kindest person in all the land, has a new book coming out about Childless Cat Lady (compliment) Taylor Swift. I’ll be going to one of these New York events. Come with me!
Order his book here.
“Dostoyevsky looked at his wife—in whom he saw refracted through his earthly life just such heavenly love—and said, “I have always loved you passionately and have never been unfaithful to you ever, even in my thoughts.” With that, he breathed his last.” - “Fyodor Dostoyevsky’s Five Principles of Personal Freedom,”

“Whenever anyone asks me what I want as a gift, I always say “effort” So this year I wanted to show him how much he means to me, with loving effort.” - What can’t Gabrielle Union do?!
I know I don’t drink, but I really love to party. Please, to those of you who stay out past 11, please invite me to whatever shit you’re doing in New York. New Jersey. Boise. I’ll come!

I teared up a little when I watched that Carol Burnett clip, Also, I feel the same way about that hat Kelce's wearing, too. Well, the whole outfit in general is giving off Grumpy Old Man vibes. And I giggled at that customer service rep post. As someone who works in CS, I had a member say, "H as in Hell."
