All I know to do when things are Very Bad is make art with more artists. I hope my little lit mag @zinemachine.bsky.social (launched today!), brings you what it’s brought me—an insistence that there’s so much brilliance, cleverness, humor, & beauty. That it’s never far away.🩷

Sarabande is such a great indie press & means a lot to me, both for their many poetry titles & also bc EIC @kristenmiller.bsky.social is a college acquaintance. Her leadership is admirable esp as losing NEA funds will hurt. Join me to help them cover the funding gap & continue their vital work.
We've never been so proud to be misaligned! Your support keeps us doing the thing this administration sees as a threat and a disruption.
We could do this forever. Stay the course with us by making a tax deductible donation at the link in our bio! 🔥
