This is my most anticipated book release literally ever if I'm honest.

We need these gifts and wisdom so much right now.

Order it for your neighbors.
Do they also need a copy of Let This Radicalize You?
My publisher’s been very patient. I’m not doing everything I said I’d do to promote this book (out in a few weeks) because I’m an organizer in a city under federal attack. My days are full and emotionally exhausting. Any help getting the word out means a lot. It's a book people need right now.
Read This When Things Fall Apart by Kelly Hayes | Pilsen Community Books
A bundle of letters to activists and organizers on the frontlines in catastrophic times from Let This Radicalize You co-author Kelly Hayes In social movements, some heartbreaks are all but inevitable.

In honour of the official start of spooky season, please allow me to boost my horror essay collection, BE SCARED OF EVERYTHING. It's got Ouija boards, it's got chainsaws, it's got demons and cannibals and oceans of blood.
It's available wherever you get books.
invisiblepublishing.com/product/be-s...
Be Scared of Everything: Horror Essays · Invisible Publishing
A book that shows us everything is terrifying—from Pokémon to PTSD—and that horror can be just as honest, vulnerable, and funny as it is scary.

The Polari Prize issued a statement saying it believes its longlistees can hold “different positions on substantive issues.” This is like long listing a racist with authors of color then telling everyone it’s a mere “different position on a substantive issue”. Trans people are a fact. Not an “issue”
You can't call yourself "a prize for LGBTQ+ literature" and longlist a self-proclaimed terf. Anyone can give any prize to anyone they like, of course. But don't pretend you're a prize for my community when you're platforming someone who's actively fighting against it.

I believe one of the new mRNA vaccines was expected to treat colon cancer, and another had the potential to keep pancreatic cancer from recurring. That’s what they’re taking away.

Every time someone says that a part of a story “didn’t progress the plot” and that’s why it didn’t need to be there, I’m reminded of how many of you suck and are boring.

This isn’t just a bad way to critique sex scenes and the concept of plot, it’s a bad way to think about art.

History that's always stuck with me: during miners' strikes union workers set up secret gardens and food reserves. Company thugs and cops were constantly trying to find, raid and destroy these. That's who capitalism and the state are.

And it was worth doing anyway. Some of those strikes won.
What's funny is 0% of cops and very few careerist liberals even understand the concept of "dual power" but if you even try to feed some hungry kids, an army of neutralizers will show up to strangle your project and if that doesn't work, the cops roll in.
