To my dear Little Drippers (we’ll work on that).

I’m already well and truly behind on my reading this week and am about to take a short holiday, so the situation will only get worse. Upon my return I will do my very best to catch up but I know how prolific you maniacs are so it won’t be easy.

I’ll probably catch a few notes and maybe a piece or two in my movements, but will no doubt miss some notifications and scolding hot takes. Keep up the good fight, be it with poetry, music, visual art, fiction, eclectic erotica, or existential rants.

Think of me when the wind whispers “fuck the system”. For I am always with you in spirit.

I was feeling a bit flat, and now I’m packed.

Soon enough I shall return to revel in your righteous glory.

Love AL
