Please give this whole thing a read. This is my grand call for help. Weirdpunk survives year after year--putting out the books I believe in regardless of 'market viability'--because of the Subscribers. And this year we need more. Cutoff is March 1st, and we're around half of what we typically have.
We've got a little over 2 weeks until the SubClub closes.
This has been the slowest year for subscribers since I first started it. And that makes a lot of sense given everything that's happening around us.
It's a strain on our year too. This is our call for help.

#Booksky, I have a small-town folk horror novel now available on paperback, Kindle & KU: mybook.to/XIvD2

It's the bleak story of a cursed family & the entity hiding in the woods...

Suffer.

Surrender.

The choice is yours.

Knoxville, Tennessee!

I’m coming and I’ll be talking to novelist/professor/my old writing teacher Michael Knight on March 5th at Union Avenue Books.

I’ll also be signing books.

They ask that you RSVP. You can do that here: unionavebooks.com/event/2025-0...

Hope to see you there.

Hey NYTimes — *now* you’re lighting the beacons? NOW?!? After months of “Sauron: Avatar Of Evil… Or Extreme Uniter?” thumbsucker reporting you’re screaming what we’ve known since 2015? Fuck all the way off.

Why didn’t any comms people for these members of congress reach out to influencers or people in independent media? I would have been down there so fast if someone told me it was happening

While members of congress were trying to enter the USAID building, cable news instead chose to broadcast Donald Trump signing an executive order.

“Coup from the top” is a THING. Trump through MUSK has just USURPED Congress’s CONSTITUTIONAL role by taking over the TREASURY & rewriting CODE right now. They are breaking the law and Congress is doing nothing but complain. DC police need to ARREST MUSK and pull those hackers out!!!!
ok here's a rant about our leaders and their inability to name this coup that is taking place
RANT: THIS IS A COUP

I wrote about how not to give up, how to take back your voice in your own future, so that when a year actually has passed, you look back with the satisfaction.

This is how to survive Trump 2.0
How To Survive Trump 2.0
The first Trump administration was about resistance. The second is about reclamation.
