POEM: Fear of the Fall

Seventy degrees in December. Not unheard of but not normal either. Anomalous. I jog through the morning fog. The clouds, the mist the swirling warm wind all feel restless like all of that heat and water hanging in the air …

Spring 2022 Donation Poll

As part of my Real-Life Superhero mission, I donate at least 10% of the proceeds from all writing-related income to nonprofit organizations. This includes (but is not limited to) a seasonal (quarterly) donation to a nonprofit organization based directly on how much writing income I had in the previous quarter.

I’ll be making my next donation on Spring Equinox 2022 — and you can help decide where I donate!

The theme I've chosen for this spring's poll is climate justice organizations that are Black-led and/or have a mission that focuses on Black communities.

Communities of color face some of the worst air pollution in the United States. In spite of this fact, the "Green Ceiling" has created an absurd and unjust situation where people of color are underrepresented in the leadership of environmental groups. This means that far less funding and organizational support is going toward organizers who are facing some of the worst consequences of extractive systems and doing all that they can to challenge those systems. This needs to change.

I chose to focus on Black-led organizations in honor of the good work that The Coolest Show podcast and the Hip Hop Caucus are doing to break through the Green Ceiling by raising up organizers and organizations that are working for environmental and climate justice. I'm a long-time listener and want to do what I can to act on and share the knowledge that I've gained by listening to the podcast. This seems like a good start.

This time around, the winner of the poll will receive $25. If you want to help decide who receives this donation, please vote in the poll.

Livestream on February 22

I've decided to host another livestream! My next livestream will be on Tuesday, February 22 at 10 a.m. Central time.

You can watch it live on my Facebook page or see the archived video there after the stream. I still haven't mastered the art of multistreaming, so it will only be live on one platform. But you can watch it on Facebook even if you don't have a Facebook account. I can post it on YouTube and elsewhere after the fact if that would be helpful.

The livestream is a chance for me to update my patrons, readers, and social media followers about my writing and superhero adventures. This month’s livestream will include updates about my works in progress (WIP), my newly-forming climate change book club, and news and reflections about my superhero adventures.

If you have any questions, suggestions, or other feedback, let me know. I love hearing from you!

Climate Change Book Club

Do you like reading books about climate change? If so, would you be interested in a climate change book club?

I've decided to start a book club dedicated to reading and discussing books about climate change. Each month, our readers will vote on which book we'll read together. Once we've read the book, we'll have an online discussion. Readers can decide if they want to participate in a text-based discussion, a monthly video/audio chat, or both.

If you're interested in this book club, please fill out the quick climate change book club survey at the end of this post. Also be sure to sign up for my newsletter to receive the latest updates about the book club and my other projects. In the meantime, thank you for your interest!
