"I Love New Writers." A Chat with Jeff Bogle, Editor of Stanchion "Like a record label from the late 90s."

Listen/watch my interview w/ @beckyltuch.bsky.social. We talked all things Stanchion, from what I like in a pitch email to what I hope to find in the writing being submitted & a bit of the history behind my magazine and the community that grew up around it.

Great interview. Jeff's doing a great solo thing (yes, he published me, but it's still true). Talk about passion projects. Check out his mag, buy it, or his books. He clearly cares.

Keep in mind that this serial liar also promised a hundred times during the campaign that he would be able to end the war “in 24 hours” with “one phone call” to Putin because he has “a great relationship” with him, “knows just what to say to him,” & “it won’t even be that hard.”

Stuart Watson — Does It Have Pockets More Than It Can Hold

Woo-hoo! New fiction up and out at Does It Have Pockets? Thanks to Camille Griep and team for the huge hug. If you read the story -- www.doesithavepockets.com/fiction/stua... -- you'll understand that a huge hug takes up a lot of space and weighs a lot, even if you can't see it. 😜

It was a decade ago, and not many people read it all -- 2 hours -- but it delivered the goods on the huge con being perpetrated on American consumers by the collusion of health insurance companies and medical care organizations. time.com/198/bitter-p...

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

this is very satisfying to watch.

Mike Johnson refuses to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva — because her vote could force the House to release the Epstein Files. The GOP is doing everything they can to keep Trump's Epstein cover-up going. In 1998, Republicans gladly used Monica Lewinsky's words to attack Bill Clinton.

Powerful early influence on my appreciation of what literature can do. "The Jungle" opened my eyes to corporate greed, disdain for its labor force, and contempt for downstream consumers of poisonous product. Valid then. Valid now.

Good shift this morning at the local food bank. Amazing people, good cheer, triaging a harvest-season bombardment of apples, pears, plums, grapes and more. Thank you, grower-donors. If you're sick of the greed upstairs, do this. It works.

Lovely. Couldn't agree more, about love of fog. Imprinted from teen years in SoCal, along coast. Now I crave cloudy, rainy days and love trips to coast for a dose of fog. So soothing. Major muffler.
