in the book “how to go mad without losing your mind” they speak to the ancestors who chose to fly over the sea as an act of freedom and departure from this mess. can you blame them? can you shame them? can you say “no no no please stay” to a pain, especially one you actually know? no

Still mad—and with good reason.
Today is the release date for the audiobook of HOW TO GO MAD WITHOUT LOSING YOUR MIND: MADNESS AND BLACK RADICAL CREATIVITY. I'm grateful to @dukepress.bsky.social for continued investment in my work, even four years after initial publication.
