Oh, that delicious tension found between trying to do right by the growers at the farmers market and the globalized infrastructure that is keeping billions fed.

Bangor area, Bangor, Maine that is, tonight at 7 we're reading some flash fiction and hopefully having fun; I've got a couple horror pieces for the season.

$Flyer for a Flash Fiction reading on Friday 10/3 @ 7pm DOUGLAS WRIGHT writes his way into surprising fictional worlds readers never knew they craved. Genre fiction is his jam: sci-fi, horror, and weird lit. ANNALIESE JAKIMIDES makes poems, art, and stories (true and un) from her memory bank of fill-in-the-blank. Cited in national competitions, she’s published 1,000+ short works. J.D. MANKOWSKI writes a coming-of-age fantasy series, the most recent title The Stone King. He sees life through a delightfully fractured lens, always dreaming how to translate it to the page. CHRISTOPHER PACKARD is a biologist, science teacher, and riveting storyteller enmeshed in the legends of cryptids. The author of Mythical Creatures of Maine, he’s the assistant director of the International Cryptozoology Museum. The Stage Door Lounge @ The Penobscot Theatre 131 Main Street, Bangor$

Probably not a good sign in a democracy when everyone is wondering if we've tripped the line into another mode of governance.

Been months of trying to avoid Amazon, paying more in person at a local hardware shop I'm cool with but, the drop shippers on ebay are a real pain in the ass. Rent seeking slugs.

I remember this being an utterly bizarre Crichton-esque apocalypse story. Might need to revisit it, Greg Bear was a favorite of mine back in highschool.

Classic SF with Andy Johnson @andyjohnson.xyz · Aug 20

Greg Bear (1951 - 2022) was born on this day. In 2023, I wrote about his brilliant SF novel Blood Music (1985), as uplifting as it is disturbing, and one of my favourite books of the 1980s.

Morning. This week, I put up some thoughts about prose, and appealing to the masses, and the merits of both doing that and of marching to the beat of your own drum.
