My Summer of Rubber Dust The Machine didn’t work well, not by a long shot. But, in the end, it worked just enough.

Check out this essay I wrote a couple few years ago about working a job where we tried to harvest rubber waste from old astroturf @publishedbyjake.bsky.social

Packed a small cardboard box w/author copies to put in my suitcase for Baltimore. Will probably do the same w/a few copies of the @publishedbyjake.bsky.social titles, so if you want one and see me around, I might be able to hook you up.

@pleomorphic2.bsky.social and @publishedbyjake.bsky.social , is Mother Karma going to break my heart? If so, tell me now so I can be prepared. πŸ₯° I mean, this is only page 2 and I'm already feeling the weight and the beauty of the book. Looking forward to spending my morning with it!

Definitely a bummer, but I get it. Long part of the conference. But yeah, it's an exciting lineup for sure!

Figured we might as well have fun with it, even in a not great situation
