I think I've actively annoyed a few friends with how often (and how loudly) I've recommended this book. Every essay is packed with hope, empathy, thoughtfulness, and a well-deserved righteous fury at those in charge. A no-bullshit manual for how to save the world.

So happy to see this renewal news! SUCH a delightful show! Can’t recommend it highly enough!

So... I offered a shopwide sale last holiday season, and (what the hell) I'm doing it AGAIN. 👉 calyxworks.com – chock full of antifascism, Portland, soccer, & kaiju! Reposts deeply appreciated, it's the main way people find out. A chunk of profits will always go to woke-ass causes here in Oregon.

I'll be signing books at the festival on Sunday, December 7! I hope to see you there!

Thank you @calyxworks.com for making such an amazing shirt! It got many compliments at the Axe & Rose!

I appreciate the kind words, Dan! It's never about the miles you log or the heights you climb, but how much fun you had.
