THIS MONDAY, 9/8: I’ll be reading at KGB Bar w/ Tom Thompson & Sullivan Summer. Starts at 7:30, doors at 7. More info here!: bit.ly/3VCoIss

Sending love & care & kindness to everyone.

I haven’t posted here for a long time & don’t think this space is healthy for me, especially right now. But I might post a bit on Bluesky. If you were uncomfortable with what I posted on Twitter, PLEASE DO NOT FOLLOW ME ON BLUESKY.

On Tuesday my son goes into the hospital for 4-6 weeks for an autologous stem cell transplant with the hope of wiping out every last Ewing Sarcoma cancer cell that might have survived the 11 rounds of chemo that he’s already undergone.

I’m grateful to the old Twitter & all my followers! I learned so much here & made so many friends here. So many people who have become part of my daily life. It’s tough to leave this space even though I know it’s not what it was & I’ve barely posted for over a year.

Commonplace is on hiatus. You can learn more about the hiatus by listening to the most recent episode of Hey It’s Me. That episode will also post on @CommonplacePod in the next few days.
