My Antifa book is on the New York Times Bestseller list 8 years after publication.

Thank you to everyone who has supported me (and my family) in so many ways (including buying books). #NoPasarán

At Evening House, in-person and online, our focus is on amazing books, especially indie & global reads. Some of the most enjoyable, mind-bending and heart-touching experiences can end up overlooked or lost inside an abundance of choices.

We're doing our part to put those books front and center.

But also, I told you when used effectively shame works. The problem is Elon isn't shamed by normal things like the weight of being responsible for the deaths of 600,000 people, or being a white supremacist or whatever. Oates just landed on a pressure point.

If you wanna read (or you can listen to me read to you!) the story I wrote while rererereading a buncha Denis Johnson and wanting to write something for Taco Bell Quarterly, here ya go!
Two Tacos, by Aaron Burch
I’d eaten an edible an hour or so before, then another between then & now. The plan was to time it such that I was biting into that first taco right when it would most taste like the best thing ever.

sorry not sorry but if your story doesn’t illuminate something about the human experience, imagine a new future, or explore a new perspective on the past—who tf cares

this aggressive opinion is genre agnostic btw

every genre has its culprits of pablum

You don't have to judge Columbus by the standards of today. His tenure as governor of Hispaniola was so horrific that he was dragged back to Spain in chains to answer for his many crimes.

Plus he never set foot on any land that would ever be a part of the United States of America.

all discourse aside, there is one machine with consciousness. it's printers. they are alive and conscious and they hate you and they'd take your arm clean off if you let them. never trust a printer.

note how the "US Code" - i.e., the LAW - is magically transformed into a mere "tradition" by the WaPo headline writer
The U.S. Treasury shared a proposal to mint $1 Trump coins to mark America’s 250th anniversary.

But U.S. code says only deceased individuals may appear on U.S. currency, a tradition dating back to efforts to break from monarchical rule. https://wapo.st/4pWsyL3

I’ve received multiple death threats + doxing (including my home address) directly following harassment from Turning Point USA, Jack Posobiec, Andy NGO, + Fox News which called me an antifa ‘financier.’

I have been forced to move my classes online.

If journalists want to talk, DM me or reply here.
