4K followers this week. I know on Bluesky that’s not a huge number but I am humbled regardless. Thanks. And if you want to read my acclaimed working class fiction for free, the link is in my profile! I swear I’m not an asshole but sometimes my protagonists are, lol. (Obligatory cat picture.)

HUGE NEWS FOR ME! I have been awarded an Ontario Arts Council grant to continue writing my new novel-an exploration of this post truth, tech driven world from an old guy like me. Remember when people were just people? That’s my fiction. Pls try it! Link in profile.

FREE WEEKEND FICTION: Working class literature. Yes it’s a thing. We can change the narrative-working class does not have to mean illiterate or far right.

LAST CHAPTER! You can read fiction or you can wallow in meaningless discourse. I’d pick fiction for the sake of sanity. open.substack.com/pub/davidmun...
