When does @autofocusbooks.bsky.social open next? This would be perfect for them
No jinksing it, but I think I am a week away from finishing this novelette? I’m . . . Almost done? With a long form project? That can’t be right

Grappling with some serious existential & financial angst today. Friendly reminder I've got two fun books with big ideas out that cool readers seem to really enjoy. Would love for you to check 'em out, too
As a debut indie author, I’m really grateful to have found the readers I have with these two books. Would be honored to have them considered alongside 2025’s other great new releases!

@soniasulaiman.bsky.social hi Sonia! I don’t know if you remember me, we’ve chatted here and on the ol blue bird site a few times. Can I DM you? Basically I’m looking for Palestinian sensitivity readers for a project, and I wanted to ask for your help finding them, but no pressure, of course

Melville said you can’t be neutral on a moving whale boat
you cannot sit motionless in the heart of these perils, because the boat is rocking like a cradle, and you are pitched one way and the other, without the slightest warning

I wrote out a post complaining about myself twice, worded it differently each time. Talked about feeling like a bad parent and coparent. And that might be true. But is it worth saving that feeling? Staying in it? Revisiting it?
Instead how about this: it’s a beautiful day, and the work is waiting.

Update! Full amount raised!
I am trying to raise 200 US dollars for an elderly Palestinian woman in Cairo to afford a wheelchair. Venmo me @Mo-Martin-1 and I’ll pass the money on. Venmo me an amount of 25 dollars or more and I’ll translate this poem by Sholem Shvartsbard for you!
