SELF-PROMO SATURDAY

Taking the weekends off from rage seems like a good idea

Why yes, I know how absolutely terrible this week was, but if we don’t take breaks, we’ll all explode.

They’re already trying to kill us all as fast as possible, so now self-care is a dedicated act of defiant Resistance. It’s not just okay to look away from the garbage fire every day, it’s imperative to preserve your sanity and save your retinas.

It’s also never been more important to strengthen our online and offline communities. Support for each other through this time is essential for survival, because we’re never letting anyone take away who we are at our core.

SO! I’m going to plug some good stuff that happened. As I write this on Saturday morning, I’m just SEVEN away from hitting the 1000th copy sold of The Sound of Settling, which is why I created this Substack in the first place.

It would be SWELL if you’d all buy a copy/boost the link to all of your friends who read. It’s an excellent escape from fascism for a few, plus it’s got Foo Fighters Easter eggs and lots of sexy sex and early 2000s pop culture stuff. There are 7.1K subscribers here (THANK YOU!!!), and I’m not here to shame anyone, but…cmon now, let’s turn this effort up to 11…thousand and get me that book deal already so maybe I can take more than just weekends off from screaming into the void about politics. 🤞

Also, I was back on Dean Obeidallah’s SIRIUS XM show on Friday, and it was a momentous occasion to be on the first “What Just Happened?” panel of the new Trump Regime.

That’s it for this Saturday, pals and gals. Go take care of you and yours.
