Back in 2020-2021, I wrote a book about how to survive scary hard times by writing your own stories and getting lost in the imaginary worlds you create.
I feel more than ever that making up stories can help save us and keep us whole.
So this feels like good timing: Never Say You Can't Survive is just $2.99 in ebook formats for just one day.

You're gonna read about this in my newsletter for sure — but today is the release date for The Emperor Has No Clones, the first studio album from 420 Funk Mob. This band is a bunch of longtime members of the P-Funk All Stars, carrying the P-Funk torch forward. So far, it slaps.
