An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

Very saddened to learn that the great Hal Sirowitz passed away recently. He was a fantastic poet, a great asinine poet who attended several asinine poetry readings and contributed to asinine poetry anthologies. A sweet person, a guiding spirit. This is a loss.

Been feeling too dependent on my phone for a long while now. Will use #blackout #boycott Nov. 25-Dec. 2 to see how long I can wean myself off social media and this brick of a drug pusher.

There is a book club organization out there emailing authors telling them the club will feature their work for a "modest fee" for "branded materials" etc. Do not fall for this nonsense. You should never, as a writer, have to pay for such things.
