July 5th, 2021 Whenever I felt invisible, my mom used to remind me I wasn’t. That sounds stupid to say, but it’s true, and now on days when I feel invisible sometimes I worry I won’t be found by anybody. It is very easy to look up at the sky and be impressed by aContinue reading “Visible At Night”

Book Review: Until The End Of Time
July 5th, 2021 I’m obsessed with Brian Greene (but don’t tell him, play it cool). He’s a physicist who writes and talks about science in the best way: for everyone. He’s been on my radar for years, but I’ve only really been getting into his work over the past few. And not just his own,Continue reading “Book Review: Until The End Of Time”
Push Exclusive: Read The First Chapter Now
The following is the first chapter of Push, out July 21st, 2021. 1 My dreams aren’t what they used to be. They used to be vivid, wild, free. Now they’ve become the home of everything I fear. My life itself, though, is a juxtaposition of my sleep; when I’m awake, I’m okay. At least, IContinue reading “Push Exclusive: Read The First Chapter Now”

The Words Are All Made Up and The Points Don’t Mean Anything
July 1st, 2021 On my recent post about white fragility, someone commented “Your not white.” I think that is a terrific introduction to this essay about race itself. The commentator wasn’t wrong, necessarily: race is all made up. In Ta-Nehisi Coates’ brilliant Between The World and Me (if you haven’t read it, do; there isn’tContinue reading “The Words Are All Made Up and The Points Don’t Mean Anything”

The Bad Guy . . . Duh.
June 29th, 2021 Hi! I’m a white person, and this is a post about white fragility. If you’re a white person, I encourage you to come along. I’m not going to just throw things at you that you’ve heard before; no, as is my way, I’m going to share a deeply personal story about myselfContinue reading “The Bad Guy . . . Duh.”
Push Comes To Shove
June 28th, 2021 My seventh book, Push, is locked and has been submitted for publication. (It’s not available for pre-order… yet.) As a creative person, sometimes you plan a multi-year project that, more or less, comes out exactly how you envisioned it (see: The Weirdos: Volume I, Them/Us). But, sometimes, a story comes along andContinue reading “Push Comes To Shove”
Morphin’ Time
June 26th, 2021 GEEKING. OUT. (Politely, of course.) It’s no secret that my pop culture influences are deep, vast, and embedded in my DNA. But few can call themselves legitimate cornerstones of my youth, and Power Rangers is definitely that. When I was a young(er) dude, my dad took me to meet Walter Jones, theContinue reading “Morphin’ Time”
