Monthly reminder: Many people have a book in them, but it takes a special kind of freak to leave the Land of Laziness, cross the Plains of Procrastination and Insecurity Mountain, find the Blade of No One Made You Do This, and use it to cut your chest open and yank that book out.

yesterday marked one year since I and several others were laid off by yahoo sports, in one of the most callous ways possible: en masse, via zoom, by a total stranger who conveyed not a drop of empathy for the scary situation we were all being thrown into with zero warning

This is still my advice: Become a writer anyway. Fuck it, do it, it won't save you, but it's still a beautiful dream to write novels and short stories and poems and mingle with other dreamers and make art and laugh in the face of death. And writing is constant death. Live más.

We're only halfway through Native American Heritage Month, so there's still plenty of time for you to read one of our many titles by and about indigenous people, including @sgj.bsky.social, @morgantalty.bsky.social, Joy Harjo, and Ned Blackhawk. Not that you shouldn't be doing that every month.
