Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway: 10 copies of To Those Willing to Drown, by @markmatthews.bsky.social, which I *have* but *haven't read*. I gave it out before, because the author did his own promotion, and I like that sort of thing. If you read it, please let me know what you think...

I've been in recovery for over 30 years, but one of my live's greatest highs is watching Florence + the Machine perform live. I wrote a blog post about addiction & recovery in the music of F+TM. Check it out⬇️ www.wickedrunpress.com/2026/04/Flor... @florencewelch.bsky.social #EverybodyScream

Editorial in the National Catholic Reporter: "The vice president's comments justifying the death of Renee Good are a moral stain on the collective witness of our Catholic faith. His repeated attempts to blame Good for her own death are fundamentally incompatible with the Gospel."

post a perfect album from the '90s that isn't Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, or Alice in Chains. I listened to The Verve "Urban Hymns" on repeat for weeks on end, and still go back and revisit and it hits just as hard.
