I always have a lot going on, here's what I'm doing now:

I'm writing I HATE THOSE MASKED BASTARDS! for Haymarket Books …

while hosting and producing the weekly podcast Says Who …

and helping run the Civic Media Fellowships at USC …

and printing and shipping whistles (... & counting) all over the country with a crew of awesome people …

and shipping merch I make for you …

and OK that's enough.

My most recent notes

I write a lot of notes in shortform social apps like Threads, Mastodon, and Bluesky. I also capture them on this site, so the platforms don't control my stuff. Here are a few. You can always look at my notes page for more.
