We buried our son today.
We enter a new phase of grief now.
Thank you, everyone - for everything.
Here is Frankie's eulogy as promised.
Also, a google doc link too, in case the screenshots are annoying: docs.google.com/document/d/1…

The response to Colophont has been so warm & generous. I hope you all find it helps your work connect with a wider, more engaged audience.
Tons of great writing on the site already. X didn't show me this @BurialMagazine, but Colophont knew I'd love it.

I love great writing and hate how it's treated on the internet. So I built something to try to fix that.
If you wish there were a better place to share your writing, to discover new work, to talk culture and books, then I invite you to read—and to join me.
