I see that I have a bunch of new subscribers, so welcome! Typically I write about depression and anxiety and writing and my dog and sometimes my son Henry but this time I’m writing about dresses. Look: I go where the muse sends me. 

The Instagram algorithm has finally clocked that I’m in my fifties and now all the ads I’m getting are for “zapping menopause belly” and “let’s take a look at that neck flappage, shall we” and “Jesus Christ, your face.”
