Yippee! My article for PassageMaker magazine is in the October issue. They gave me 10 pages and they look wonderful. I am incredibly proud to see my work in such a great magazine! Here's what it looks like in the TOC. Now I just have to get my hand on a printed copy. I'm reading this in the Libby app with my library card.

Trapped in "War Ravaged" Portland!

Some call #Trump a prize hog at a county fair rolling around in his own filth. An irascible, impotent airborne virus good for horse flies & untethered syphilis.

A cogntively-cured retch building a mephistophelean society for his black-heart, burrito-sack body"

JA Westenberg on standing out by writing rather than networking:

Writing is its own form of networking, only scalable.

You put your ideas in public, and the right people find you.

A motley crew of bicycle anarchists from the Cascadian Autonomous Region make their way through the decaying and fragmented remains of fascist America in search of Trump's mausoleum. In this buddy road trip story, the group has all sorts of unexpected adventures, dodging cults and corporations offering government service subscriptions, on their quest to steal Trump's bones and bring them back to Portland, so they can be integrated into the construct of the new Portland People's Assembly Hall public urinal.

New to mastadon today though I would give it a go. I do lots of crafty things for my own happiness and mental wellbeing. I am a Twitter and Bluesky refugee. Two of the things I love doing are embroidery and photography. Check my bio for more if youre curious #photography #books #writing #embroidery #painting #fountainpens

If you’d like to read my Anne Brown Essay Prize–shortlisted piece, you can find it at the link below.

The judges described it as “flinty, telegraphic prose” and “an essay of incredible economy”. A bit like drystone itself, doing what you can with what you have.
