Stoked to share that @MainStreetRag will be publishing my 1st book next year! It’s 7 sci-fi stories tentatively called ‘Skintet & Other Tales of the Brassican American Experience in Philadelphia’. Read the title story in Eclectica: tinyurl.com/skintet. I'll share updates soon

Well, here it is! My Weitz Prize winning story. Thanks to Jeff at @ojalart for help formatting & editing. And to my hero, Frank, for starring in another story. I’m planning to use some of the prize money for a small print run of this ebook ojalart.com/hot-button-pre…

Right here is my favorite Philly cheesesteak joint. And I’m going to get me a Philly cheesesteak sandwich!

It’s about 3 girls in a band & a film the one is making, but also there's not really a plot. Heavy Kathy Acker & Caliban & the Witch vibes. You'll want to listen to Norwegian Black Metal. A speculative fiction workshop turned me onto this. Generally a good book! 8.1/10

It’s a dystopia about a group of women in a prison, and then they get out of prison and explore a weird world. Heavy vibes of Ana Kavan’s ICE. Short and good. Extremely bleak 8.5/10

It’s about three or four characters centered around a machine that can predict happiness. There’s also art exhibits and secrets and intrigue. I liked the world these characters inhabited a lot plus the characters themselves. Felt ripe for a sequel 8.6/10

A woman moves into another's house. It walked an absurd/surreal line: you’re not sure what’s actually real but the whole thing’s hilarious. One of the best I’ve read this year. It showed connection btw 2 women, which can be rare in fiction. I wish I’d read this earlier 8.1/10

As an 11th hour act, President Biden has granted clemency to longtime indigenous leader and political prisoner Leonard Peltier. We rejoice in the overturning of this longstanding injustice, one that is long overdue. But we also know the work is not done. Mumia is next! We must continue to mobilize until ALL political prisoners are free. FREE THEM ALL!

It’s about a teacher and her students & assorted torture, kidnapping, & home invasion. There might be a repetition of who does what to whom; it gets a little murky (on purpose I think). The text shifts forms & perspectives. The scary scenes were chilling 7.4/10

CPUSA contingent gathers at People's March to protest Project 2025 Agenda.

It's about folks who live in a town called Ruby & their relationship to a convent & an oven. Got a lil lost in the sauce w/ ppl's disparate backstories. Things came together at the end. Didnt care abt the climax. Beautiful language, but it failed to add up for me 7.9/10

A lil late but here’s my Christmas @Dalkey_Archive haul (incl. the famous misspelled Cadenza colophon)

philly club and ycl are in dc for people’s march! let’s go!
