Nazis unwelcome: here\u2019s my post about moving this blog off of Substack soon<\/a>. I might put this stinger on every post until then to try to irritate Nazi Sympathizer Hamish McKenzie<\/a>. I might forget\/get bored and stop. Not today though!<\/em><\/p> Two quick links: \u201cCryptids and Climate Change,\u201d the issue I guest-edited for <\/em>Cotton Xenomorph<\/a>, began publishing Tuesday! We\u2019re doing to two stories a week for <\/em>a while, so be sure to check <\/em>CX regularly and follow us on your social media of choosing. The first story is \u201cMutant Gourd\u201d by Lucy Zhang<\/a>, and it rules!<\/em><\/p> Yesterday was New <\/a><\/em>The Line Break<\/a> Podcast Day, with our AWP episode airing<\/a>. We got Stephen J. Furlong, Teo Shannon, Chloe N. Clark, Diannely Antigua, Matt W. Miller, Todd Osborne, Amorak Huey, and Maya Williams reading on this\u2014an absolute Language Murderer\u2019s Row of Poetry All-Stars channeling their inner I-got-basketball-shorts-under-my-jeans-if-you-wanna-hoop-right-now and reading all over the AWP book fair and panel rooms. Bob and I even get in on the fun and read some of our own work! I got wild and put some music backing us up\u2014I wanted it to feel like the world\u2019s most Didn\u2019t Understand The Assignment house band was backing us up. Please check it out<\/a>, we had a lot of fun and are super grateful to all the homies who helped make the weekend<\/a> so special. <\/em><\/p> NBA All-Star was this weekend. I really enjoy All-Star, even when it\u2019s bad, I think because I\u2019m enough of a sucker for spectacle that I\u2019ll cultishly support it when it\u2019s my favorite sport. I\u2019m writing this sentence like two weeks out and I\u2019m not gonna change it. Every year, people debate whether this or that portion of All-Star is broken, or how to fix it, and I don\u2019t care. The league office is not a Shipwrecked Sailor blog reader. If they are, please hire me to blog you! If I\u2019m back next paragraph, something cool happened at All-Star, and the league office hasn\u2019t hired my unique voice away from Lazy & Entitled. <\/p> [Update: I didn\u2019t watch any of All-Star for life reasons, and heard it sucked. The previous paragraph still hands. Steph Curry vs. Sabrina Ionescu was awesome.]<\/em><\/p>
