@robwhart @BlackstoneAudio Oh my god - cover design who????

[Christopher Stevenson @fern_breath]

One of the reoccuring phrases in "Demon Copperhead" is "they did this to you."

As in the Sackler family and the powers that be purposefully did this.

It's hard.

That logic crashes against the very American maxim of "you chose this to happen, and you did it to yourself."

This novel is a quiet, closely-observed masterpiece of the heartland. Never mind the haters: STONER is a gem.

Holding the UK version of My work for the first time, shame came over me. This is my shame book! A farewell to linear time and the cult of individuality, TAKING CARE OF BABIES, bodies eating eachother, LAUNDRY AS THE CENTRAL TASK. I present to you this, my heavy metal motherhood.

If we’re doing living wage discourse again I’ll reiterate that at a minimum anyone working a full time job should be able to own a house, a car, raise three kids, and take a two week vacation every year. If that sounds unreasonable its only because we let the wealthy decide it is

Been having one of those “what have I done with my life” weeks.

So far I have: beaten a lot of video games, decimated the pie supply of several states, won 90% of staring contests I’ve participated in, flossed a few times, and found Waldo at the expense of searching for myself.

As we all stop watching TV and movies in solidarity with the WGA & SAG-AFTRA, I’d like to recommend… books?
