Less Content, More Connection
I hate this isolation. So much of my social life – friends, community, art, music, writing – has been centered around in-person events. Readings, concerts, open-mics, workshops. Album release parties, book release parties, single release parties, house shows, fundraisers. So many people I like making art that I like. And me doing it too sometimes. Odds are if I went to your show or your event…

My Frustrations with Activism Pt. 2: Who Has The Time?
My Frustrations with Activism Pt. 2: Who Has The Time?
In a previous blog post, I listed some of the reasons why I think the Resistance has been ineffective. Here I’ll talk a bit about the second of those reasons: Resistors and/or potential allies in the working class, and other marginalized classes are too busy or restricted by the systems oppressing them (rent, debt, racism, sexism, etc.) to effectively resist those systems.

Brett Kavanaugh is only the latest in a seemingly endless line of men with power doing and saying awful things to or about women. From the nameless guys who have harassed my friends on the street, through celebrities like Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, Jordan Peterson, and Louis CK, on up to the most powerful man in the country, Donald Trump (not to mention the countless who are never talked…

Coming This Summer: The Ishmael EP
In case you haven’t heard: over the past few years, I’ve been writing songs on the ukulele, mostly based off of themes in Moby-Dick. And I’m making plans to release an EP of those songs with a full rock band later this summer. Stay tuned to the Music section of this Spot for updates!
In the meantime, you can listen to the demo versions of the EP tracks and download them for free on Bandcamp:

One man's perspective on how men can help in the wake of #MeToo How many dozens of ‘#MeToo’s did I see in my social media feeds this past week? More than I could count, more than I can remember.

I’m honored to have my short story, “The Walleye,” published in the inaugural issue of Stain’d Magazine!
