What does a gal have to do to get a galley of the new Pynchon book these days

On 9/28, I'm running a half marathon to raise money for Chicago Abortion Fund (& to fend off my midlife crisis, ha). My goal is $500— the average cost of a grant for one of CAF's callers. If you'd like to help me reach the finish line, you can here: www.givegab.com/p2p/cafhalf25/mandy-medley

I saw a bunch of liberals get really mad at someone trying to burn a tiny American flag today. I’m glad people are finally in the streets, but I do wonder how after everything this country has done to the world, folks still think it’s more acceptable to proudly carry a U.S. flag than burn one.

We are trying to use every tool at our disposal here!!!!!!! Donate to Midwest Immigration Bond Fund to help free folks from ICE custody!!!! www.mibfc.org/helpusgrow

Now is not the time to engage in sectarianism ffs!

A rule of thumb that will rarely lead you astray in this country is to assume that a riot was started by the people who showed up armed and dressed for a riot.

Everyone’s gotta say “FUCK ICE” at least three times a day. Those are the rules, Chicago. See you out there!

Who will we see out at the May Day March next week? Meet up with the book worker contingent— all are welcome!

a healthy reminder for us all

This is industry networking I can get behind. Who will I see out there this May Day? 📚✊

I hope to see everyone out at this important fundraiser. Resistance is more than buying and reading books. Resistance is supporting people on the ground doing the work, or better yet, helping to do the work yourself.

Honored to be helping to get the word out for this really important anthology coming out in May from Haymarket Books! Writers, reviewers & booksellers, let me know if you’d like a galley. www.haymarketbooks.org/books/2527-h...
