vocal cords

either one

that feeling when you discover a new musician that you LOVE that really SPEAKS TO SOMETHING INSIDE OF YOU and you go deep, deep into the internet to verify

THIS IS A REAL PERSON, NOT A BUTTON SOMEONE PUSHED

and the relief when you discover them

and see them singing

with their human vocal chords

well, this sucked to write.

my impressions of London after being here for 24 hours:

everything smells like bacon...

unrelatedly, we are staying in a little apartment just above a brunch restaurant.

thanks!!

kind of a life-long dream realized... very excited

some personal news...

Beth and I have moved to Europe, as of 7am (local time) this morning.

we'll be living in Spain for the next few years...

your regularly scheduled Psychopomp stuff should be largely uninterrupted, as there's an amazing team in place.

hello from London!

Starstruck, by Aimee Ogden | Psychopomp a radish, a fox, and a boulder walk into the world... check out the cover for Aimee's amazing novella STARSTRUCK, and preorder your copy today.

Happy Friday! May I present for your consideration: buy my book? The reasons you should do this are: it's my book, and it's very good, and it has a radish and her fox wife whom she adores and also a rock determined to live her best life even if maybe she wasn't meant to have a life to live.

looks so good!!

thx!

a graph from 2004 to 2025 showing the growing interest of the word "psychopomp" -- graph is a slow increase until it gets to around 2022 then it goes sharply up. below that, a chart showing "interest by subregion" with "Vermont" as the most interested state.

single-handedly raising the search volume of the word Psychopomp

(vermont is where I [and psychopomp] are based)

lol
