A Workshop of Our Own (WOO), a Baltimore organization that provides a safe workspace, tools, and training for women, trans, non-binary, and other gender-non-conforming folks, is holding a fundraiser to support their move to a new location. If you can chip in or signal boost, it would be much appreciated. (Obviously I'm not a member, just support their work.) #Woodworking

If flashbacks to January 6th treason brought you down today, may I humbly suggest you read the new short story of mine over at Lightspeed, which — though it might not appear so at first — is relevant to the events of that day. I hope it will help. https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/a-man-walks-into-a-bar-or-in-which-more-than-four-decades-after-my-fathers-reluctant-night-of-darts-on-west-54th-street-i-finally-understand-what-needs-to-be-done/
A Man Walks Into a Bar: In Which More Than Four Decades After My Father's Reluctant Night of Darts on West 54th Street I Finally Understand What Needs to Be Done - Lightspeed Magazine

My father was so honest, people often spoke of him in cliches. For example---you know the way someone will sometimes say so-and-so was so honest they’d walk five miles to return an extra nickel they’d been given in their change? Nobody means anybody actually did that kind of thing when they say it, of course---you and I both know they’re only exaggerating for effect. Except in the case of my father. My Dad had really done that. Around the neighborhood, he was seen as so calm and understanding when compared to other fathers, other husbands . . . some of the grownups jokingly referred to him as Saint Barney.

"Book Club" makes me cry every time I re-read it. I'm so grateful for those tears, because they're a tribute to how much we loved my mom and how much she loved us. I hope you'll take a moment to read it when/if you're ready. https://www.uncannymagazine.com/article/book-club/
