Once when I was visiting from college, my dad was supposed to pick me up from the airport. Instead he sent his friend to get me, a friend who was drinking in the airport. I only realized this on the way home; then I was trapped in a car with a drunk driver. America feels like that, right now.

It's weird how everyone in the world knows a Nazi salute when we see it, with the notable exception of journalists and their editors.

If you know of any excellent small press books coming out in January 2025, I would love to hear about it.

Books have saved me. For as long as I can remember I’ve read before going to sleep because, well, it’s enjoyable. But also to get my mind on something else. To distract it from the anxiety spirals.

Sometime between 3-4am I casually wondered to myself about @lauralippman.bsky.social ‘s next book. What was it called again? And, I could recall that something is different about it, but not what. And this morning this shows up in my inbox!
