This Week's Writing 10/5/24

Trump's promised genocide, TNC on Israel, and more

Gusgus and Goose, being pet friends.

As always! The blog needs its pet friends, and also its human friends with money if it is going to persist. I have fewer and fewer freelance outlets as the industry implodes, which means I’m dependent on you (and you too!) to keep me scribbling. If you find my writing valuable, consider becoming a subscriber; $50/year, $5/month.

Here’s what I published this week!

Politics

Trump’s mass deportations are a promise of genocide. (Public Notice)

Trump’s lies are somehow getting worse. (Public Notice)

Aid to Israel is immoral because it’s immoral, not because we can’t afford it. (EIH)

Israel, the Confederacy, and why states don’t have rights. (EIH)

Cultural criticism

Panopticon is the best Appalachian folk black metal band of all time. (Chicago Reader)

New Life and new zombie disability. (EIH)

Poetry

Why I write such wonderful poetry. (Synchronized Chaos)

Short absent little poem. (Five Fleas)

Nothing.
And then
nothing,
but
in verse.
