24 It’s a black day for radio. On Saturday, June 18, I will be appearing on Hour of the Wolf, hosted by Jim Freund, on WBAI 99.5 FM, from 5 to 7 a.m.
Hour of the Wolf’s format will be music, conversation with Jim about speculative fiction, and a reading by the show’s guest (that would be me).
If you’re not in WBAI’s broadcast range (the New York metropolitan area), you can listen to the show on the web.

Multitudes of children went to school today feeling lucky that the end of the school year is in sight & they will only have to worry for a few days/weeks more about being butchered in their classrooms, martyrs to the misconstrued 2nd amendment.

11y saw me crying and asked if it was about Uvalde.
“Yeah,” I said. “It’s really sad and I worry about y’all.”
“It’s okay, Dad,” he said to me, “we train for this.”
Fuck. I’m broken. He’s in sixth grade. A math nerd. A gamer. He’s not a goddamn Marine. He “trains” for *this?*
