Now up at the substack, *finally*, is my review of my friend Emily DeArdo\u2019s how-to on looking death straight in the face<\/a>, every dang day of your life, and not just because it seems like a nice idea.<\/p>\n

For those wondering, there\u2019s no way in heck I\u2019m gonna be posting that kind of wordcount twice a week at the new place. If you see something that time-intensive come across the ether, you can expect we\u2019re either doing just one long newsletter this week or else the next item is going to be short and sweet.<\/p>\n

So it\u2019s safe to subscribe, I\u00a0can\u2019t<\/em> overload you with too much reading in your inbox, because for goodness sakes I\u2019d have to write it all. This particular subject, though, needed a lot of words, because it is a piece of cake to screw it up when you\u2019re trying to share a good book with your fellow parishioners, but oops, the topic makes it super easy for the well-meaning sweet old lady in your Bible study to accidentally stab someone in the gut.<\/p>\n

Reminder that free subscribers at my substack get access to all content<\/a>. Hey, and also a reminder that you can subscribe via e-mail to this blog as well, check the sidebar, if you\u2019d like to get notifications of new posts without having to log onto social media.\u00a0 I will still be active here, because this is where I write about ~~all the things that make people super-mad<\/del> current events.<\/p>\n~~

Bonus, for this review, Emily is hosting an AMA over at her place<\/a>, so you don\u2019t need to debate whether you want combox access.\u00a0 You can also find her<\/a> (and me<\/a>) on Twitter for your all your feisty discourse needs.<\/p>\n

Enjoy!<\/p>\n
