My bad. McSweeney's didn't feature "[the narrative toilet]." Dennis Johnson shared it on the Melville House blog as an example of "interesting people using the internet to have a genuinely fresh discussion about ideas of linguistic form." He was referencing my collaborative work with Nathan Moore.
I'm still proud of this piece, "[the narrative toilet]," which I made for a collaborative poetry collection written with Nathan Moore. McSweeney's even featured it on their site.

What we are all experiencing is called "resilience targeting." It is a deliberate attack favored by many of todays shitlords, and is a fairly well known theory in disinfo and climate circles; it's just that everyone seems to be in denial that it's an attack. Today might be a good day to read up

I watch many poets continue to interact with women who chose to defend a rapist and promote their own careers over cancelling an abuser. I see you and I note this. And they call themselves feminist and “gurlesque.”

In realistic trauma recovery there is no self-care gesture too "low effort" to count. CPTSD is a vampire when it comes to our energy levels.

Nurturing ourselves in a dozen low-effort ways, if that's the wattage we have available, beats effortful sh*tting on ourselves every day.

The fact that Matthew Dowd lost his job for pointing out Charlie Kirk’s hate speech, while Brian Kilmeade openly suggests we should euthanize the homeless and there is zero outrage, shows exactly what is terribly wrong with today’s political mainstream media.

If you're into picking up rocks to see what kinds of weird bugs are under there squirming around, I recommend posting "Fascism is bad" on social media. Same result.

Not to interrupt production at the takes factory but they should probably identify and catch the actual killer before we decide what it all means.
