What a pleasure it was to read and edit this book for Stanchion. It is full of humanity and search for identity, told from the singular perspectives of members of one family.
A Question of Family comes out in three days @stanchion.bsky.social and theatrical book launch in one week at the beloved Book Catapult. I hope to share some joy in these dark times.

Had the absolute freaking pleasure to read this in advance and am still thinking about the layers of family here and in our real lives: desperation, evolution/stasis, humor. Order it! Read it!
Soooo you're gonna pre-order @fbereaud.bsky.social's novel, right? The guy who champions everyone, who lifts up others & is a truly good egg in this murky indie lit world? It comes out in early Feb, but I'll be shipping pre-orders next week so you can get started on your first read of the year!

This short story collection is v. good, but better than that: it’s got a vein of weird running through it that I loved following.
Pre-order! www.stanchionzine.com/product-page...

Phyllis Randall of Loudoun County, the first Black woman to chair a county board in the state of Virginia, gave a truly inspiring speech in Leesburg today.

Talked to so many people who were at the first protests of their lives today. Ex-Republicans, introverts, 90-year-olds and 3-year-olds. This was at an intersection in a 60,000 person town. Haven’t felt hope like this in my life.

Yes! It’s disgraceful to have some Dems claiming the fight for due process and human life is a distraction. Either we have a moral code or we don’t. We can, and should, fight more than one seismic battle at once.
Rep. Jason Crow: "You know what I think the right thing, politically, to do is? Actually just do the right thing. If we do the right thing and we defend people, if we defend the innocent, if we defend our democracy, the politics tend to take care of themselves."

Same! Even if Target reversed course on DEI, started selling BLM pajama sets, and filled their stockrooms with transgender mice, I have no need to return.
I'm kind of amazed at how easy it was to simply cut Target out of our lives. We went from going probably twice a month for over a decade to cold-turkey quitting and we never felt a thing. Thanks for showing us how little you matter, Target!
The divergence here from two companies with *very* similar customer bases is pretty wild, you do not see this sort of thing happen at scale very often.
