Well, this thing happened. I really had been on the verge of giving up. Then I had a come to Jesus with myself that basically went like this: You know you’re not going to give up so stop hemming and hawing. Don’t give up?

Well, I had a little FB tantrum because it’s the only place I know I have conservative connections. I told my t-rump loving relatives that these murders are on their hands. Oops.

I do not understand how anyone likes season 4 of the Witcher. What a hot mess. What a boring, horrible dialogue, hot mess.

Wordle just told me there was only one possible solution left when there were definitively two possibilities. I know because I tried both. Yes I read the analysis. I’m that guy.

You do realize that your personal relationship with Jesus Christ is really just a relationship with yourself, right? Call it what you want. I’ve named my brain Beatrice and we have great talks.

Halloween highlights: I made a little candy altar guarded by Raven and her shadow. A sweet little ninja hugged me. Weapons was not scary, but I enjoyed it nonetheless.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I’m doing a reading today right before our town’s No Kings. There will either be crickets or a big crowd. Either way, I’m good if everyone has their eyes trained on the protest. Even if one of my poems wishes scabs on the scrotum of the oppressor. 🤍

Happy pub day to Lex Orgera! -Agatha- This is not just a book about the body but a profound exploration of what it means to inhabit one.

Over on IG I posted this with the Halloween theme song, which was one of my better ideas today. Another of Agatha’s cute quips from my upcoming book AGATHA.

This is from the poem “Agatha at Dawn” in AGATHA. The poem begins, “& then we’re trying / on the molecules / of sainthood, delivering / ourselves to the gods / of caffeine.” AGATHA is officially out in the world Oct 13 from @jacklegpress.bsky.social

I’ve never been much of a letter reader, but these Darwin letters are strangely delightful to me. I’m just at the beginning. He’s still 17 or 18 and doesn’t yet know what he wants to do with his life.

In one of my best procrastination moments yet, I’m looking at real estate prices in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan. For absolutely no reason.

The funeral home is offering a free meal at Golden Corral in exchange for a talk about pre-planning. If I were a meat eater this would be tempting. 😂

I can’t keep up with Bluesky. How do people keep up with all the socials? My brain feels literally crammed full of information daily. What do you all do to keep all the ones and zeros from making you loopy?

Today is the day to go out and protest. Even tho this makes me so anxious. I don’t even go to concerts anymore because I hate crowds.
