Your TDAP shot protects you, but now importantly, it protects little babies.

I do not want the video. I will never watch the video. I usually won’t even give the video the effort of complaint. I just want to read the news story. Give me the text. This would be my Ted Talk but that would be text too.

Banned Books Week starts on Sunday, October 5—there are a ton of ways to support! Find ways to get involved here: www.ala.org/bbooks/banne... (If you're overwhelmed, even just checking out, buying, or elevating a banned book is helpful! Talking about them w/ the ppl in your life is an action!)

(OP is well aware that this quote doesn't actually represent Vonnegut's views) It's really funny that with novelists you can just have them say anything that any character they wrote said and go "well, the author said it! That's their quote!"

This past Fri, the legendary, nearly 80 year-old Zigaboo Modeliste (The Meters) played a rare show at Tipitina’s. An experience like this is why I maintain that New Orleans is the capital of Funk. For us, funk isn’t a moment that happened in the 1970s & then went away. We experience it every day.

Good morning. These translations need visibility to fund. I know there are a lot of things going on, but that doesn't explain why this really worthy project hasn't been at least talked about in public. If you know people who value translation, could you tell them?

Thrilled to have another microfiction in the exciting @gooseberrypielit.bsky.social 🙏🥧 gooseberry-pie.com/glinda-was-n...

I meant to post this two evenings ago! Thank you, @malarkeybooks.bsky.social , for all the spooky goodness! 💀👻💀 Novel by @renbolger.bsky.social

NEW ANTHOLOGY CALL! After our upcoming Terry Allen incited anthology we were gonna cool it for a bit on our music-incited anthologies because we have a lot on our publishing plate here. But eff it. Right now the world needs all the inspiration from Woody Guthrie it can get.

I was telling a friend in Portland that while I am very grateful if anyone buys my book, I am EXTRA grateful if they buy it from an indie bookstore! Firstly because I love supporting bookstores, and secondly because that’s likely the best shot I have for getting it onto store shelves…

I’ll be moderating the “Magical Realism and Speculative Fiction” panel at the NOLA Words & Music Festival this year! It’ll be Friday Nov. 21, at 3:15 pm at the Andre Callioux Center for Performing Arts and Cultural Justice! Panelists are @mlensheffer.bsky.social & @literarydesiree.bsky.social 😬

It is Friday my dudes, and I am bound by fate and these lean and vicious times to promote my books without a marketing team. So please, check 'em out, which unlike fruit do not go bad on your shelf, and consider sharing this post, reviewing the books or grabbing a copy. Thanks if you do 🙏🍻

It's not only good, it's very very good.

This open letter to a plagiarist by @rustandmoth.bsky.social is an outstanding example of not only how to lay axe to the root of this pernicious literary theft but also how to appeal to the guilty party's better nature without dragging them, triggering a pile-on or destroying a chance at redemption.

There are only 25 signed copies left and ordering one is now the only way to get a print copy of Hellarkey vol. 4.

Much needed #BookMail thanks to @malarkeybooks.bsky.social ! (Pencils not included 😁)

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. All I can say is that regardless of what is happening now, the world is so much better because you are in it. Your Uncle Eric loves you.

My flash piece “Doomsday Rock (Three Minutes to Midnight)” has risen from the ashes, reprinted here. Inspired by my “helping” my grandfather as a kid way back when, when he built a fallout shelter on his farm. Many thanks to @bulbculture.bsky.social for the showcase!

Lest we forget how we have come so far in 20 years.

I know they don't care and want us to be exhausted and give up. But I had shingles this year. Infections, viruses, etc do not care about your age.
