I’m going to extract myself from my last FB group after not checking any other parts of that terrible place for many, many months. Instagram will have to go away, too, as it’s part of Facebook. I got rid of Giphy. Now it’s just Twitter and this place once every few months.

It's funny how I can publish my poems publicly for years and share them on stage in front of strangers several times over the last year, but reading them out loud on my little blog audio podcast had me frozen for months. Brains make such fun games of things.
