Look forward to this every week. Loved the piece about the neighbours - truly creeply - and also the short piece from WOW about the sister's suicide.

Interesting; my computer protection program blocks me from OpenSecretsMagazine.com as it's categorized as Pornography

Hi @Glenn Mori I’m the editor of @Open Secrets - thanks for mentioning that. I haven’t heard of anyone else having that issue and the site is personal essays but they do occasionally cover sexuality. I’ll look into it. You may have better luck via the Substack app.

It's not a great idea to use "Goodbye To All That."

It's the title of Robert Graves autobiography, published in 1929... and... Joan Didion's breakthrough essay, written when she left Manhattan.

It is named for the Didion essay, which was named for the Graves book…
