In any city I visit I’m a sucker for a good brick wall for a selfie background. 🧱 📸

My fellas.
I finally finished my new #SocialMedia guide to how to grow your #bluesky account by taking advantage of the most-recent-first nature of the site and learning the importance of feeds, #StarterPacks, and community building.

Yoooo. Publisher of Sibling Rivalry Press here. Let’s talk! Nothing we do fits into a box either. And that’s what’s
made it all so magical. 🦄

Love this.
Thanks to The Publishing Triangle for Brotherful’s finalist nomination: Thom Gunn Award for Gay Poetry. Brotherful contains the origin story for the name Sibling Rivalry Press & explores how the light of grief falls differently over time & how loss touches everything, including who & how we love.
Trippy!
So, to be listed next to these writers I love, and these publishers I respect, makes me feel like my chest is bursting light from the inside out.
Brotherful is the book of which I’m most proud. It is most fully me. It is my heart. I couldn’t even think of publishing it anywhere but SRP. An early poem is called “Sibling Rivalry.”
I learned today my book Brotherful is a finalist for the Thom Gunn Award for Gay Poetry. I wrote Brotherful over a ten-year period, and it aged and evolved as I aged and evolved. Grief never leaves, but the view changes based on where you stand, even if you look at the same empty chair.

You post the best stuff. Thank you so much. ❤️
Magical! 🔥
You don’t need to sound like anyone else. Be uniquely you. If it moves YOU it will move someone else.
Pup! Check out our journal of gay and queer poetry, Assaracus! Jack is in Issue 26. We’ll open for submissions next month, but I encourage you to check out issues 26 and 27. www.siblingrivalrypress.com
Really beautiful. As a book publisher I’d love a use something like this (not this but like it - no copyright infringement! for cover art). Really solid work!
Words alone can’t explain the mountains of gratitude, wonder, and love I feel after spending the first half of February in Nepal.
Vibes today
I see you New Year,
standing there, looking around
all full of potential,
ready to take your turn at the wheel,
naive and ready to go.
Let me give you some advice
if you want to go down as a hero
how not to be cursed come December
like so many of your predecessors
cursed down the centuries 1/6
Sending all the love to you this holiday season. ❤️❤️❤️
When Bari Weiss and CBS decided to censor the report on El Salvador’s brutal prison, they didn’t realize that bootlegged copies would surface. Please share it with everyone you know and drive these fascists crazy.

In high school in south Arkansas in the late 90s, I saw a triangular formation of lights hovering in 1 spot for a long time. After a bit, it made rapid zig zag motions & zoomed off in a way that was incomprehensible. I saw this 2 times, about a year apart. Both times I was with another person. #UAP
It’s quite the space! I’m honored to have visited it.
