Over the last few years, I've realized that I grew up in a deeply unhappy home-- one dominated by grief, loneliness, and inertia. Chronic, untreated depression. Flashes of anger. Fear of the world.
Saying those words-- not so easy.

Are you ready? Our fifth annual fiction contest begins January 15th.
We want stories that make the reader think and feel, work that humbles us with its joy, anger, hope, grief, and gravitate toward writing that has something important to teach us.

I've made dinner for my wife twice over the last few days. Experimenting with recipes from Chinese Cooking Demystified.
Watching her taste the dishes-- the best feeling.

One of the chief virtues of the book is that it’s nearly the only remaining form of media that isn’t constantly being interrupted by ads. Between the covers is the last place on earth where no one is trying to sell you shit, a place where you can still be a human being rather than a mark.

Our last movie of 2025 was the new Frankenstein. Very disappointing!
