focusing on the little/good things so wanted to share that my son who is 16 has a new poem up @rustandmoth (long live literary magazines and writers and readers!) rustandmoth.com/work/the-kansa…

trump's statement about forcing universities to comply with his policies or risk their endowments is absolute dictator shit. here we are, so quickly, so unsurprisingly.

Hi, All—I’m in need of $80 to get through the upcoming week. I’m off a really busy, rough week. I really just need gas and laundry and a little food money. If anyone can help, I’d be grateful. Thanks so much for reading. paypal.com/paypalme/Matth…

not on this site much, but this was so nice - made my weekend - thank you Stanchion!

Thank you so much, Eric - so very kind!

Alex is at 25% of his goal right now. Let’s help him get to 50% before mid-week. Please help if you can.

If you know of anyone who might like a "funny," "humane," "sensitive," and "deeply satisfying" short story collection, I hope you'll consider gifting them my debut book, SAD GROWNUPS. bookshop.org/p/books/sad-... Indie books need support - I'd appreciate if you'd share this!

I haven't been posting here, but I have a new flash - about being young & in a new place (entirely unrelated to my current personal experience, as I'm old and in the same place!). Still, I hope you'll read it - thanks Wigleaf 💚 wigleaf.com

Wow wow wow! Another stunner by Amy Stuber ! 🔥🔥 Stuber is a must-read author that more people need to know about! Read “Ambulances” in Wigleaf then go buy her collection, SAD GROWNUPS wigleaf.com

white people: if you're so fragile you can't handle amplifying the history and accomplishments of Black people in the US, do some self-reflection. It's #BlackHistoryMonth2025 - time to learn about & and celebrate the history & accomplishments of Black people in America.

Is this administration actually cared about anti-semitism, they'd go after these guy and not universities

Here it is: the Republican party no longer supports free speech. Imprisoning people who disagree with you is illegal, anti-American, in opposition to The Constitution, and is very much what dictators do.

If the dean of one of the country’s top journalism schools is advising students to self-censor because “nobody can protect you,” then we have already passed a major milestone on the road to authoritarianism. nytimes.com/2025/03/12/nyr…

BREAKING: Hundreds of Jews and allies have taken over Trump Tower chanting “We want justice, you say how. Bring Mahmoud home now!” and “Fight Nazis, not students.” The civil disobedience is spawned by the ICE arrest of Palestinian student Mahmoud Khalil.

nothing is working as well as it was 2 months ago (airlines, the economy, the government). republicans who used to want the govt out of things are singing absolute power over to a president who wants to control everything (private law firms, private universities). Terrifying.

The US is currently a country that targets, threatens, detains, and deports people for political speech. Where are the congresspeople who've spent years expounding on the importance of free speech?

Anyone who tells you the government is eliminating waste: no. they're eliminating programs that rich people aren't making money off of so rich people can make more money.

Where is Congress? Trump defied a federal judge and deported people without due process after already defying Congress in more ways than I can list here. Does Congress not care about losing their power and purpose?

Many thanks to Molly McGinnis & Los Angeles Review for this lovely, generous review of SAD GROWNUPS!
