I just want you to know that if you submitted a story to EMBODIED EXEGESIS, I love you and I'm so grateful I had the chance to read your work.

Sending rejections is heartbreaking because these stories are all SO good. If I had infinite money and page-space, I would gladly publish them all.

This is the first piece of furniture I've made (and finished) using my new workbench!

A shaker style nightstand, made from cherry scrap wood I had leftover from some other projects. I finished with shellac I mixed myself from flakes.

I learned A LOT, made a lot of mistakes, and am very happy with the final project.

It's annoying to me how much of a difference it makes to keep my tools sharp.

I just want to keep planing, I don't wanna break out the waterstones. But then I do, and it's like, ah this is working much better now. At least now I have a nice dedicated sharpening station.

Also annoying how much this transfers over to other parts of my life. á

Ok writer mastodon, can you help me settle a debate?

When doing a reading (like at a con), is it better to read from something new and unpublished? Or a recently published story? And why?

My flash fiction about feral drones and doomed T4T romance is now out in Baffling Magazine!

This one contains a lot of my FEELINGS about TDoV and the need for safety vs the need to fight for liberation. And feral drones.

And, the workbench is now fully assembled!

No glue, no nails or screws, just huge drawbored mortise and tenon joints. The way the drawbore pegs drew the pieces together felt like magic.

Still some fine tuning to do. But it already feels amazingly sturdy, and I'm so excited to be this close to final assembly.

Why does every article I read about Austin losing its weirdness have an unnecessary reactionary bent?

Is it really necessary, when talking about the hippies and weirdos getting priced out, to do a soft-focus profile of a transphobic bigot?

I mean, I know the answer to these questions, but it's still frustrating.

I'd love to read an article that centered and interviewed the weirdos, hippies, and artists. They have much more interesting things to say than the silicon valley types.
