ESCAPE! vibes are immaculate. As a writer, I live for strategy, twists, and a sprint to the last page.

I love annual anthologies, including The Pushcart Prize, which introduce me to new pieces and new writers. And I'm hosting an event with a 2023 Pushcart Prize winner, Survivor's Stephen Fishbach!

I asked my Alexa+ (forcibly upgraded against my will) for the weather and instead of telling me that it was 53 degrees it said,

"It's the perfect Christmas eve weather! Highs of 53 degrees with a low of 44. Just right for all your pre-Christmas activities."

had to share this beautiful piece from my friend elliott bueler, about a favorite vinyl album...it's short and unexpectedly moving.

Open Hand
Vinyl records are like watches – there’s no real need for them anymore, but try telling that to a collector. Do and you’ll discover as many reasons to collect as there are collectors. As an elder mill...
