New poem out now in Macrame Literary Journal!
They’re IDIOTS
I just finished an early copy I received of this book and you absolutely need to read it. It’s available for pre-order and I promise you will love it. I will be thinking about and returning to this collection a lot.
white women and queers - and people who love them - this is a good week to look GOP voters you know in the eye and ask them if they think it should be legally permissible for men to shoot you or your loved one in the head on the basis of being a “fucking bitch”
The everyday courage of normal people is breathtaking
It's incredibly demoralizing to constantly see the highest institutions of government and academia and the most important and widely seen news outlets knuckle under one after another, but then to see the gulf between that and the bravery of communities and neighbors and teachers - that's something

When you get the reputation of being the guy with the encouraging words on New Year's Eve, it can start to come through as a little pressure -- what if the situation on the ground is worse than usual? what if people are more scared than they usually are, and with cause? what use are good vibes then?

friendly reminder: i made a spreadsheet for 2026 poetry releases and you should add yours!
The copyright of folk stories, narrowed into copyright is an abomination. Folk tales belong to the folks, not Disney. We can do with them as we wish.

Wanted to highlight this as I push people toward shopping their indies! As a former bookseller, this resonates. The 1st request would get me looking into the book, the 2nd would put it into consideration, and the 3rd would result in additional orders (generally speaking). Your interest matters!

Priced fairly, printed beautifully, shipping immediately. 🖤🤍❤️
