In the spirit of the spooky season, I thought I'd post a little reading excerpt from my chapbook, Ghost Mom (@stanchion.bsky.social). While not exactly scary, there are ghosts so there's that. Anyways, I'll be posting one story a week for the month of October.

In this ever changing world at least we can say, record companies have and always will be inept.
Major record labels are reportedly pressuring Spotify, Apple Music, and other streaming services to raise subscription prices, saying current rates haven’t kept up with inflation, according to Financial Times.

Remember when Amazon held a sale during Independent Bookstore Day in an effort to undercut indie bookstores?

We didn’t forget. Support local bookstores during Small Business Saturday and beyond.

this is where we white, cis, able-bodied folks (aka those of us with comparative social safety) really need to step up and just tip these fuckers over into a republican's lawn
Just as you thought food delivery companies couldn't inflict any more misery on society:

Instead of using lowly-paid gig economy contractors to deliver groceries, they're replacing humans with robots, who, in turn, force humans off the pavement into road traffic.

This is just to say I'm prepping myself for tomorrow's day long question-athon about how my novel's going.
Remember my first creative writing teacher telling us never tell anybody you're working on a novel and thought, okay seems a bit much but sure. Then I got a degree in creative writing and all I can say is never tell anybody you're working on a novel.

When the NEA asked us to promise not to publish trans, nonbinary, or gender fluid authors, we told them to kick rocks. (Actually, formally, with a unanimous vote by the Board of Directors, we told them to kick rocks.) So the NEA rescinded our funding.

That said, I recognize the price of the 2026 Stanchion Book Club may put it out of reach for some, but it'll deliver a whopping 12 books (incl Stanchion's 1st two novels), 4 exclusive gifts, advance PDFs & more. 2/2
