		<title>SOPA/PIPA Blackout</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s amazing to see all these huge cultural institutions (Google, Wikpedia) standing up for freedom on the internet. And I&#8217;m happy to stand up with them (Weightless is participating too). However I am more than a little disappointed that there was no such uprising a couple weeks ago when it was time to defend actual [...]]]></description>

		<title>God I Hope the End Is Near</title>
		<description><![CDATA[How many jokes/invocations/questionably ironic references/panicked remonstrances will I hear this year about the coming end of the world? When they&#8217;re talking about it on The View and the Nightly News with Brian Williams, it&#8217;s time to give up counting. How much more mainstream can a nutso newage conspiracy theory get? Consider Y2K. That apocalypse was [...]]]></description>

		<title>Signal Degradation, Small Beer Podcast, HM at WFC, Suchlike</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I realize it&#8217;s been months since I last posted. My computer HD died sometime in September, causing me to lose a month&#8217;s worth of cool mushroom photos, Hen of the Woods, Giant Puffball etc, which I would otherwise totally have put up here otherwise. But it&#8217;s cool, no need to pretend like you noticed&#8212;who reads [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[My story &#8220;The Eater&#8221;, about the guy at the beginning of time whose job it is to taste everything and decide what will kill us and what will keep us alive, (which originally appeared in Apex back in July), is live today at Pseudopod! Pseudopod, should you have been unaware, is a weekly horror fiction [...]]]></description>

		<title>Watch Ridler</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jay Ridler&#8217;s first novel, a noir wrestling thriller (!), is up now at the Kindle store: I&#8217;ve been waiting for an opportunity like this. Amanda Hocking and Konrath have been made much of (and have made much out of themselves) as the poster/tentpole children of a brave, new, exponentially expanding market for self-published ebooks, raking [...]]]></description>

		<title>Permanently Unlost in the Infinitely Receding Forest</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Where I live now, no matter where I stand or how far I walk, it always looks like the woods are just beginning beyond the farthest-away squat little fenced-in company cottage I can see. I can pursue them, but when I get there, they&#8217;ve inevitably receded to exactly the same distance as before. These days [...]]]></description>

		<title>Jack in the Green</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Jack, do you never sleep does the green still run deep in your heart? Or will these changing times, motorways, powerlines, keep us apart? Well, I don&#8217;t think so I saw some grass growing through the pavements today. &#8212;Ian Anderson]]></description>

		<title>Chapbook 4, Readercon, Beer, Updatey</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Against all odds, there will be a Homeless Moon chapbook number four. I just sent it off to the printer. This year&#8217;s theme is a shared world generation ship, though I suspect you&#8217;d be hard pressed to guess that from the stories alone. We&#8217;re very different writers&#8212;it&#8217;s our shared hell-bent-ness that holds us together&#8212;and it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>

		<title>Solstice in the City</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It used to be easy. I could just step out into the garden with my whiskey and corncob pipe of a steamy midsummer night, maybe fiddle about a bit with the maize god statuettes guarding the tomatoes, look up across the hazy cornfields at King Philip&#8217;s Rock and pour out a bit of libation to [...]]]></description>

		<title>Broken My Fairy Circle Ring</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Conifer mulch under hemlocks, Hemlock Hill, Arnold Arboretum, Jamaica Plain, MA. I&#8217;m not going to be able to positively identify the species&#8230; best guess is the deadly Galerina marginata. O I am so neglectful of posting&#8230;these are from the end of May, nearly a month ago. I&#8217;d say I promise to get better, but it&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
