Not only did my premiums go from $25 to $1500 a month, they lowered our coverage as well. FML

I haven’t read or written anything in a couple of months (health problems) but I am sitting on some exciting publishing news.

I’ve had to avoid social media for a while due to *gestures vaguely* but now I have stuff to promote so I’m back baby!

My most used words of the year via anisota.net

In the new year, please consider that your lit mag or newsletter deserves better than to rub elbows with nazis. Close your Substack and use literally any other platform. You will gain readers like me who avoid Substack no matter what great art you are producing there.

"Justo" is harvesting lettuce in Madera County CA. He labors 6 days a week, working 8-10 hrs shifts. "It's hard repetitive work. We have to be bent over all the time. We cut the lettuce clean off the extra leaves bag it and put it in a box. I earn minimum wage." #WeFeedYou

We’re cooking for 20 people today 🫠

One of the biggest problems online these days, which has led to a massive bot network across the globe, is that enjoying something gets you far less engagement than pissing people off

It’s a strange warmth, to love someone through a sweater of ignorance purposefully knitted to distance someone from the disapproval or vulnerability that would come with knowing your true self. Artificial heat.
