I have been charged in a federal indictment sought by the Department of Justice.
This political prosecution is an attack on all of our First Amendment rights. I’m not backing down, and we’re going to win.

turns out you can find some of william morris's speeches on the internet archive and they are entirely worth the reading
"how can we bear to use, how can we enjoy something which has been a pain and a grief for the maker to make?"

No social media space since the invention of the smart phone is a haven. They're labs for commerce. Go hang out in your friend's shitty apartment.

Scrolling the feed.
All that most maddens and torments; all that stirs up the lees of things; all truth with malice in it; all that cracks the sinews and cakes the brain; all the subtle demonisms of life and thought

This is why early childhood education in the arts is SO important. It's much easier to develop this when the stakes are low and you'll be praised for your effort rather than the result. So that when you get to age 9-12 and start to care, you'll be juuuust good enough to push through and not stop.

Sweet sweet Winifred is the August miniprint for Marrow Tier babes over on Pa. Treon. Neat! Also here is a list of the places that I will be this fall if you would like to say hello and peruse my fine bones and toads.
The toads are *particularly* fine this year, I must say

The Last Fifteen Minutes is a marionette opera and short film about neighbors choosing to have dinner together fifteen minutes before a giant kaiju eats them.
This is a project I'm so excited to make happen, and I hope you will be part of on this journey!
