AI may leave me behind but I just got to mail out free copies of my book to five lucky people from my Storygraph giveaway and it felt so special and cool to know over 2000 people wanted to read my hard earned feelings.

Putting my face masks on like corpse paint to feel anything
I would punch a politician for free but I would REALLY give them a mollywop for some potato wedges
these people already stream 10 hours a day, why would anyone pay to hear even more of their thoughts
Thank you!!

It’s National Poetry Month and audiobooks count as reading. Especially because poetry is such an auditory medium. So I’ve put the audiobook of Dark Way Down, my David Bowie poetry collection, up on Bandcamp. Write on, poets!
I designed some book swag for Spirit Northwest and I’m ridiculously proud of what I’ll get to give out to people that buy my book.

I had a dream last night that Sherlock Holmes was tracking down people in the Epstein files and I’ve reached the level of jaded that I’m hoping for the rescue of imaginary British detectives
Sylvie is my best friend and is one of the best writers I know. This is an incredible article about what it's like for her to live through the inhumanity of Kansas trying to strip away her identity and her ability to live in public. You should read it and share it widely.
