Did my adulting for the day by getting my second shingles shot. Gonna reward myself with a nap and takeout later. Take care of yourselves and get those vaccines and make appointments for preventive care!

This is a carbonized loaf of bread from Pompeii, 79 C.E. - preserved for thousands of years in the volcanic ashes of Mount Vesuvius. The baker left his stamp: “Celer, slave of Quintus Granius Verus." Celer is known to have survived the eruption, as his name later appears on a list of freed men.

I'm writing a two-part novel meant to have a front cover on both ends, one of those books where you have to flip the book over to read the second and both stories meet in the middle. It's called GULF OF MEXICO/GULF OF AMERICA. One of the two stories is for idiots.

Hey. Stop apologizing for promoting your book. You see all these “writing is resistance! write, make art!” posts that have been going viral like every day around here?
