Hello everyone.
I am retiring my name from public life and switching to a pen name. I’ve written more on this decision.
If you want my pen name, it’s right here on BlueSky. Just ask.

The algorithm-driven platforms need a feedback option between “populate my entire feed with only this shit” and “never show this kind of content again until the heat death of the universe.”

The first issue of Tower Mag, which has my glowing review of Marian Engel's BEAR, is available for download. You can name your price (though you should toss 'em a couple bucks for publishing my 1000 word essay about the bear sex book). https://readtower.itch.io/end

This place feels like early dating after a long term relationship. I’m constantly trying to be aware of the things I did wrong the first time and not repeating them.

Years ago a “feminist” mag asked me to ghost write pieces for a rich man’s wife who wanted to become a thought leader. I said no & quit (it was the last straw). Today that woman is indeed a thought leader, adored on *all* the apps, w/ a high-end media job. Just a reminder meritocracy is a myth
