Late of night & far from home, you encounter MUTINY CRINSHAW. It/they strike a queer silhouette against the starlit sky. Chimeric, nonbinary, mentally ill object & creature--decidedly not a public intellectual--both humanities & STEM. rural anarchist & that worst kind of eldritch horror: an optimist.

Are you sure this is the place?

Why do we call them "arcane spells" & "divine spells" when "thoughts" & "prayers" are right there?

I've been yelling from the rooftops, READ EDWARD E. BAPTIST! Specifically his book, "The Half Has Never Been Told: Slavery and the Making of American Capitalism". And of course many people don't have the time or interest for a history book, no matter how compelling. Well, good news! Vox has an interview with Dr. Baptist, about the book, which gives a good overview of his themes and arguments. READ IT!!

"Of the many myths told about American slavery, one of the biggest is that it was an archaic practice that only enriched a small number of men.

The argument has often been used to diminish the scale of slavery, reducing it to a crime committed by a few Southern planters, one that did not touch the rest of the United States. Slavery, the argument goes, was an inefficient system, and the labor of the enslaved was considered less productive than that of a free worker being paid a wage. The use of enslaved labor has been presented as premodern, a practice that had no ties to the capitalism that allowed America to become — and remain — a leading global economy.

But as with so many stories about slavery, this is untrue. Slavery, particularly the cotton slavery that existed from the end of the 18th century to the beginning of the Civil War, was a thoroughly modern business, one that was continuously changing to maximize profits."

Hey #writing fam, where do ya'll publish your work online? I'm not sure I'll publish traditionally, and I'm not sure about patreon, so I'm looking for other options that would also allow people to support my work

I know you said online, but you also said nontraditional--would you consider paid publication of short work in a zine format? I'm an editor with a zine cooperative & we're always looking for good stuff....
