Hi everybody— I hope you’re doing well, maintaining your health and sanity, and most important, following the health/isolation protocols with sustained discipline. This authoritarian regime will not save us. Only we can save ourselves— and the lives of millions depend on that sustained discipline.
Please, please, please: wash your hands, cover your cough, stay home, physically isolate from other people, and keep surfaces clean. This isn’t the middle of the crisis— we’re barely at the beginning, and are facing a likely incomprehensible death toll which may reach into the hundreds of thousands in the US alone.
Love and solidarity to everyone.

In book news, I have a few new projects gearing up which I can’t discuss yet— but soon enough!
Last month, I finished a new book (title forthcoming with a larger announcement)— through two years of work, our social and political reality has changed so quickly that I often felt it couldn’t possibly be published soon enough to keep up.
Now, even 2019’s sense of urgency and uncertainty seems antiquated. Some passages have very meanings now (just a month later)— specifically, a central theme on the urgency of sustained physical protest in a new reality that virtually removes its possibilty.
Stay vigilant, stay mindful, think of your neighbors (in the biggest, worldly sense possible)— and we will get through this.
