Just finished Rachel Aviv’s STRANGERS TO OURSELVES, a fascinating exploration into mental illness and the function diagnoses and medication have on the human psyche. Highly recommend!
Next up in the Columbia MFA faculty book list:
Gonna buy a book from an indie publisher on Saturday (and every day that I can thereafter)!
Tomorrow, a certain online mega-retailer launches a book sale, just days before Indie Bookstore Day on 4/26. This is no coincidence; Bookstore Day is one of the largest revenue drivers for indies.
Indies need our support to thrive & build community spaces for all...mega-retailers do not.
Making my way through Columbia faculty books, and this one is making me LOL a lot.
I suspect IT jobs require applicants be capable of “the look.” You know the look. The one every IT guy (or gal) in the history of IT guys (or gals) fashions when they come to your cubicle only to discover that the monitor that didn’t work moments before suddenly had a change of ❤️. 🙄
Whatcha reading? This me:

I can’t think about the world ending today. This book is doing a great job sweeping me away.
My brain is so good at her job that she insists on doing it at 4am. 😳
Ohhhh that’s sounds great. I’ll check that out!
I’m about ready to delete all things Meta, but then where will I share what I’m reading!? Putting this here for now in case my five followers care! @unnamedpress.bsky.social
Thanks New Limestone Review for publishing my piece, Circling the Drain! I love this piece inspired by my time as a lifeguard in my teens. <3
What do we think the repercussions are if a person were to just… sleep through the whole winter? Asking for a friend.
Apparently it’s “nip this in the bud” (not butt). Who knew?
What’s the one meal you almost always have ingredients for? For me, it’s tacos.
Started Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow and I’m happy to report that the hype is justified.
Oh! That’s an interesting thought and totally makes sense!
If a book has a prologue, do you also expect it to have an epilogue?
Omg thank you thank you!!!
What would I tell my younger self? Don’t get a job right away. You have your whole life to work. And when you do pick a “career” this whole “if you love it, you’ll never work a day in your life,” ya. That’s bullshit.

An “experienced wiki editor” emailed my father offering to approve his wiki page for… $400! What a racket!
Is there any other way?

I’m trying!!! Thank you!
😫😫 I published direct and they’re promptly trying to delete it! It’s a “discussion forum” now.
Oh the snarky responds have been aplenty! Wild.
Thank you!
