I'm very jealous of all the non-American authors who get to publish little novellas and tiny essay collections that top out 100 pages. We gotta bring that publishing culture to the states.
Official fundraiser announcement: it's kicking off April 8! Shares appreciated!
Big news! ARB's first fundraiser is officially live! We're shooting for the very modest goal of $1k, with lots of stretch goals in mind. Your support is of course appreciated, and any help in spreading the word would be wonderful!
Post-Ithaca notes, abbrev. Some recommended reading (essays which you might have missed) and also re-highlighting your small press recs from earlier, which have been super fascinating browsing. More at length later after I finish this talk! vajra.me/2026/03/29/r...
TODAY, all loyal partisans of the IILF are called to assemble at Liquid State for our latest reading.
IN ONE WEEK: join us at Liquid State Brewing in Ithaca for a reading and discussion featuring @vajra.me and @debbieurbanski.bsky.social!
For the Ithaca-proximate, this is now TOMORROW (and the day after)
ARB fundraiser, coming soon! We'd love your support in taking the magazine to the next level, and just spreading the word helps a ton!
REI’s anniversary sale begins tomorrow. After years of union-busting and no contract, tens of thousands of REI members are standing with @reiunion.bsky.social workers and saying: enough!
Show your solidarity with REI workers and boycott the sale May 15-25!

“Américo was part of that group of writers quite capable of affirming, with tears in their eyes, their total dedication to literature - "if I don't write, I waste away," or "oh, writing for me is like breathing" - despite the fact, unfortunately, that they have nothing to say.” José Eduardo Agualusa
