Good stuff in here.
Paperback book: FULL CATASTROPHE LIVING by Jon Kabat-Zinn
Probably a good book to read in 2025.
I donβt have an extensive list of pubs to recap this year because I spent most of it working on finishing touches for my book and planning to launch it this coming Feb. BUT. This little essay was published in @identitytheory.bsky.social and was nominated for a Pushcart!

It's been a long month, and it's nice to finally get some rest.
Nowhere near as many self-help grifters on Bluesky so far. How am I going to bro my way into optimal deep work without them? Who will tell me what time to wake up in the morning? How will I know what to eat???
Excellent life advice.

Took this picture with Jakob Dylan the winter before the pandemic started. The vibes were weird that night. The vibes have only gotten weirder.
Thinking of becoming a Lit Bro. Is there a Lit Bro starter pack?
Dear humans,
Just wanted to share something I've been quiet about, in the year of my loud self-doubt, with gratitude to @sarabandebooks.bsky.social and to many others whom I look forward to thanking in the coming months, MY HERESIES, forthcoming in April 2025.π€

Made a starter pack of Identity Theory contributors. It is missing a bunch of people. Let us know if it is missing you.
Specific big publishing news: my short story collection, OAKAVILLE, will be published by Alien Buddha Press early next year! I believe in these stories and I canβt wait for you all to read them!
Okay, yβallβ¦ I have finally decided that retreat is the better part of valor. Bringing some rainbow energy over to these blue skies.

Well, first real snow fall today, and what better way to celebrate than to have a new micro up @identitytheory.bsky.social about warm soup! π²
Thank you @vicnogaywrites.bsky.social for taking this one!
I interviewed @dtrobbins.bsky.social about his fantastic new novel, his writing process, and working shitty jobsβcheck it out!

Never know what to do in this situation.
Not gonna be on any starter packs except maybe one of Middle-Aged Men Who Go to Costco on Saturdays.
The very act of posting on any other social site feels embarrassing now. This is the only one that doesn't feel desperately manipulative.
Nice to be on a social site that doesn't feel like it's trying to turn me into a different person for profit.
