In this episode of Matt's Magical Backyard...a wintery bird!!! This friend swung by to pick at some berries and say things like "how about this weather?", "it's not that cold," and my favorite, "it was worse last year." Then they kicked snow in my face and took off cackling!

I had a dr. appointment moved one week, and because of the way I think, I keep wondering if fate moved it for a reason. Like, did I avoid a car accident? Does this mean something in the future is going to happen now? What future did I miss or change?

An amazing list of indie pubs that are doing something new, taking risks, and supporting diversity. Help support them all by getting some books and talking about them!!!!
2 ongoing convos are dovetailing rn:
1. a holiday shopping $ blackout aimed at big business;
2. worry over small presses closing or paring down.
Let's talk direct action: YOU CAN DO BOTH😀
