How to be an ally

(I fixed ALL the links so fucking reblog)

1. Check In On Your Black Friends/Acquaintances

In my opinion, I believe the best way to be an ally is to reach out to your Black friends and check in on them, consistently. If you can recognize the times we are living in are absolute hell, you should be checking in on the most effected. None of my friends have checked up on me to see how I was doing or just to talk. They didn’t even bring up the protests until I did. It feels very very lonely and scary to not be checked up on by the people who say they support and love you. So, I’m making this the first point because I don’t want anyone else to feel this way, not trying to complain.

2. Learn More About Black History

It’s important to learn about the Black activists that our history books left out. Yes, Martin Luther King Jr. was, and is, important but we need to reflect on why he was pushed on us so much in our history classes, compared to other Black leaders. Is it because our government would rather us walk down the street holding signs than actually defending ourselves against the cop who’s beating us?

Here’s a master list of activists to start you off.

3. Go to Rallies and Protests (If you can)

Find protests and rallies in your area by looking on Twitter and search #yourcityprotest. Or watch your local news channel to see where they are (if they’re being covered on the news). Also search on Facebook. Wear a mask.

4. Donate and Sign Petitions

If you don’t have extra money to donate, that’s fine. If you still want to be an ally then sign all the petitions you can. Take a day to research all the ones you can sign/haven’t signed and sign them!

(Also you don’t need to donate to change.org! Directly donate to non-profit organizations and victims’ families!)

I set a personal record this year and read 33 books, all of them for the first time with the exception of Tim O’Brien’s THE THINGS THEY CARRIED, which would be in the top 10, but I excluded it because I’d already included it in a previous year’s top 10. That being the case, here were my favorite 10 of 2020:

1. Hourglass by Dani Shapiro (2017)

Perfect pacing, honest and forthcoming. I finished this one and had the feeling I'd found my new favorite writer. I'm looking forward to reading her other works, but also, I'm looking forward to reading this one again -- I rarely want to reread a book. Also, she read the audio book herself and does a fantastic job. She felt like an old friend by the time I'd finished the book.

2. Calypso by David Sedaris (2018)

Sedaris is one of the best storytellers alive. He may be an asshole, but he’s a good storyteller. I enjoyed listening to him process some things in his life that required him to go beyond the surface of his feelings in this book.

3. Devotion by Dani Shapiro (2010)

I have no special interest in Judaism and I’ve never practiced yoga — two of this book’s primary subjects — but I’m discovering I have a deep appreciation for Shapiro’s specific brand of mining memories, her commitment to turning over all the stones in her life, her deep concern for the things she loves. A lot of writers can accomplish those tasks, but her even pace makes her work especially endearing. I’ve only read two other authors’ books back to back: When I discovered David Sedaris’s NAKED and ME TALK PRETTY ONE DAY in college, and when I followed up Stephen King’s ON WRITING with MISERY. Now, with Shapiro, I followed HOURGLASS with DEVOTION, and I don’t know that I’ve ever been as excited to start reading a book as I am right now with INHERITANCE.

4. Inheritance by Dani Shapiro (2019)

In HOURGLASS and DEVOTION, Shapiro’s voice is confident about her place in the world, even though she says otherwise. Her Jewishness that she struggles with in DEVOTION is something she’s always struggled with and so she’s comfortable with that. In HOURGLASS, she knows she’s so far beyond Jacob’s medical scare that she’s at least somewhat comfortable discussing it, and Michael is a sturdy partner and so she can explore the relationship safely. But in INHERITANCE, it feels like we’re getting real-time life turbulence. I appreciate the quest element such a setup provides, but I also miss Shapiro’s confidence. I’m saying all this so I don’t gush too much in three consecutive reviews for the same author, but the fact remains, this is a wonderful book, and I immediately began listening to her podcast. If someone asks me who my favorite writer is, I’d have a hard time not saying Dani Shapiro at this point.

5. How Fires End by Marco Rafala (2019)

I love a multi-generational family story and this one was done especially well. I enjoyed having multiple narrators to provide multiple points of view on the single family narrative that showed itself throughout the course of the novel. Rarely does a book continue to gain speed all the way to the end, but I found that this one did. This felt like one of those debut books a writer has always known he will write because it draws on so much of his life up to that point. I'm curious what his next one will look like, but whatever the subject, I'm going to pick it up. Highly recommend this book that has some mass literary appeal.

6. Heavy by Kiese Laymon (2018)

Laymon is candid about his experiences with sexual abuse, physical abuse, and his addiction to food. But this is not a book about those things as much as it is simply about a kid growing up black in Jackson, Mississippi. And it’s delivered honestly, eloquently, and wonderfully.

7. Heirlooms by Rachel Hall (2016)

This collection of (tightly) linked stories beautifully illustrates how families metabolize trauma over time, from one generation to the next. And it's a reminder of how we never know the backgrounds from which people have come. 8. Becoming by Michelle Obama (2018)

Slow start, but once Barack comes onto the scene and this becomes -- in a way -- their love story, things picked up drastically. Michelle has always struck me as reluctant to be involved in politics, and that allows her to be sincere in a way that is incredibly rare. I miss them.

9. Choke by Chuck Palahniuk (2001)

** spoiler alert ** I don’t regret seeing the movie before reading the book (though it has been a decade since I saw it), but I couldn’t not see Sam Rockwell as Victor. I don’t think that hurt anything. Maybe it’s the nature of my own shame — I got caught listening to the audio book at full volume by semi-acquaintances multiple times — but some of the sexual descriptions felt gratuitous, even when writing about a sex addict. By the end of the book, though, everything hits perfectly. Everything served its intended purpose. Strongest, most brilliant moment for me was Dr. Marshall’s reveal.

10. One Summer by Bill Bryson (2013)

During the two and a half months I casually read this, my wife grew tired of me saying, "Did you know that in 1927..." A fascinating portrait of the United States at a fascinating time.

Biggest Disappointment: 31. The Elephant Vanishes by Haruki Murakami (1993)

First time reading Murakami and I'm not sure what I'm missing. The NYT blurb on the book is "Charming, humorous and frequently puzzling." I think my disconnect is that I don't want to be left puzzled.

Previous Book Lists: 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011.

2020 Year in Review

It’s honestly blowing my mind that we read Apollo 8 this year, because January 2020 feels like a whole different universe. I remember sitting in a restaurant back in early March, when we all knew the COVID pandemic was real and serious, but we didn’t quite know how serious it would be. I had just finished The Lost City of the Monkey God and was talking to my dad about the section on tropical diseases, listening to his thoughts on pandemics and his memories of receiving the polio vaccine as a child. Now it’s almost a year later and I haven’t eaten in a restaurant since then. Haven’t taught a day of school in person. Haven’t gone to a concert, played bar trivia, sang karaoke, traveled to a new city, walked around a museum...

This year’s been brutal for so many reasons, but most of all I feel for those we’ve lost, especially one of my best friends, Kimarlee Nguyen, who passed away at the tragic age of 33 in April. Kim was probably one of only two non-book-clubbers who ever actually looked at this blog. Despite the fact that she was a fiction writer and a mostly-fiction reader, she always took great interest in what we were reading (or at least pretended to). She also accompanied Jachles and me on our Robert Moses tour back in 2015, gamely joining us for two stops in Lower Manhattan even though she was totally baffled by our love of The Power Broker. Kim was the type of person who remembered every conversation and detail, and she would always send me articles that related to book club topics whenever she came across them. If you’re the other non-book-clubber who looks at this blog, please honor Kim by reading any of her beautiful short stories linked here.

In a year filled with so much sadness, book club has been a source of joy and connection, especially in our two real-life meetings over the summer around Tommy’s fire pit, with Gabe joining us as a disembodied bluetooth speaker. We certainly didn’t shy away from the heaviness this year, reading books about the Ebola virus, the impending environmental crisis, and the cycle of poverty in urban ghettoes. But there was also room for awe, wonder, and hope...in the vastness of the universe, the interconnectedness of life, the resilience and spirit on display throughout the Great Migration, and even in the mathematical beauty of cracking a code.

We also welcomed a new member...David Krebs! This man loves reading books and learning new things, and I don’t think he’s taken a shower in the past ten days. Krebs definitely brings some fresh energy, insight, and humor to our meetings. He initially vowed to give every book an “A” out of respect for the authors, but abruptly changed course on his fourth book, throwing down a big fat “F” for our first book of 2021.

Looking forward to brighter times ahead and always grateful for the book club. Let’s get onto the rankings!

My Playlist With A Few More

Black Artists Matter Playlist

What a large list! It looks so overwhelming! Don’t worry, you don’t have to read/watch/listen to everything. It takes a lot of effort!

Jk.

If you don’t want to do some homework and good deeds, then you don’t want to be an ally. And that’s perfectly fine. Just don’t lie to yourself about it.

Tough shit.

Discussion time.

Who are your favorite Black activists that you didn’t learn about in school?

(Mine is Huey P. Newton)

Favorite song by a Black artist?

(Mine is Freedom by Beyonce but the live version)

Let me know what you think here

BLACK LIVES MATTER

I’m not black and I’m not American, but I’m trying to do my part in building an equal future for ourselves and future generations, being a decent human being should be enough to get involved so please consider checking out the following links and info.

As a white person, I think getting educated is the first step in understanding the struggles of Black folks in America and Black people in general; here are some of the books I’m planning on buying (note that some of these are not available yet, at least in my country):

“This Bridge Called My Back: Writings by Radical Women of Colour” by Cherríe Moraga

“Redefining Realness” by Janet Mock

“White Fragility: Why It’s So Hard for White People to Talk About Racism” by Robin Diangelo and Michael Eric Dyson

“Their Eyes Were Watching God” by Zora Neale Hurston and Zadie Smith

“The Warmth Of Other Suns” by Isabel Wilkerson

“The Next American Revolution: Sustainable Activism for the Twenty-First Century” by Grace Lee Boggs and Scott Kurashige

“The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness” by Michelle Alexander

“The Fire Next Time” by James Baldwin

“The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison

“So You Want to Talk About Race” by Ijeoma Oluo

“Sister Outsider” by Audre Lorde and Cheryl Clarke

“Just Mercy: A Story of Justice and Redemption” by Bryan Stevenson

“I’m Still Here: Black Dignity in a World Made for Whiteness” by Austin Channing Brown

“I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings” by Maya Angelou

“How to be Antiracist” by Ibram X. Kendi

“Heavy: An American Memoir” by Kiese Laymon

“Black Feminist Thought: Knowledge, Consciousness, and the Politics of Empowerment” by Patricia Hill Collins

Of course these are just some helpful books and please, if you have any more suggestions, send me a message and I’ll add it to the list!

Donating is always helpful, but as a university student I know it can be hard to save money and economically support good causes at the same time; this is why I’m copying the link of a great YouTube video that allows you

financially contribute

to the Black Lives Matter movement

without donating or even leaving your house

. You simply need to watch the video and let the ads run fully, all of the AdSense revenue will be donated to different associations:

darcy fuller -- 25, sugar baby/author, mars, jessica lowndes.

+ ru ready for this trainwreck??? [lemme just throw a TW up for childhood disease, suicide, depression, abuse, cancer, blackmail, etc?? tbh it’s just one giant trigger warning]

+ i’m attempting to not make this a shipper-like chunk of text but it appears that is not gonna be the case. 🙃

+ unfortunately for darcy fuller (born as darcy dumas) she was very much a planned baby — so planned, in fact, that she was born into a "my sister’s keeper" life…. a savior sister her older sister, dana, had leukemia and the best way to overcome that was for darcy to be born. needless to say, darcy saved her sister’s life many times over the years.

+ by the time that her older sister was in her teens, she had a very clean bill of health. things were looking up for her — she was doing great in school, was involved in student council, and she had a few promising scholarships for college. however, during her senior year of high school, things just… imploded. to darcy, one day her sister was there, and the next she was gone. her older sister had been found in the bathtub, wrists slit and a bottle of pills on the floor. her older sister was gone — darcy was brought into this life to save her older sister, and then suddenly she was gone.

+ life went downhill from there. their family moved back to her mother’s hometown in alabama; dad started drinking and gambling, which led to (at least to darcy’s knowledge) verbal abuse, while mom holed herself up and just sobbed over her fallen life. darce went through middle and high school being the quiet girl that wrote in her notebook, but also the girl that other kids were slightly afraid of — why did she wear so much black? why didn’t she ever smile?? did you hear why she moved here???

+ her dad died right after the start of her senior year — liver cancer had got the best of him. it was like a switch had flipped in her mom, like he was the thing that was sucking the happiness from her. darce and her mom changed their last names back to her mom’s maiden name of fuller, and right after graduation they packed up and moved back to new orleans. they packed up their old house (that somehow her dad never sold?? who even knows), keeping the things they would want and putting them into a storage building, and then getting rid of the rest.

+ after that, darce got a two year degree in creative writing, and would have gone on for a bachelor’s if not for A- money and B- she got a book published??? it took off, and she wrote a few books that took place in the same universe. think gillian flynn meets richard laymon with a sprinkling of chuck palahniuk. [fun fact: i can spell his last name without googling it. #skills] at twenty-two she published a book that made the best seller list and then in the three years since then she has been HELLA STRUGGLING to write something, so she’s kinda gone into recluse mode, especially since the death of her mother at thanksgiving last year (which was not long after the fourteen year anniversary of her sister’s death).

+ after her mom died, darce decided to go through the storage unit to see if there was anything she wanted to keep of her mom’s for herself as a nice reminder. while in there, she came across all of her sister’s journals — it seemed like there were hundreds of them. she took the box back home with her and spent the bulk of the winter reading them — and in some cases, re-reading them. in the last journal she found out why her sister actually killed herself, and it’s pretty much been in the forefront of her brain for the last nine months.

+ for the bulk of the last few years, darcy has been working as essentially a sugar baby??? she loves the attention and she gets nice things that she doesn’t have to pay for, and it’s gr8. the best part is, she has enough money that she could buy the things herself, but…. she likes the attention and the desire and she gets off on it. it’s been especially nice, though, since she hasn’t published a book (let alone wrote one) since she started being a sugar baby, so while her money isn’t quite gone, it’s just… not as plentiful as it could be.

+ i am The Worst at personality sections, so lemme just throw out some random words about her: entj. slytherin. logical, efficient, independent af. amazing at planning things and practically has the memory of a computer because she remembers everything. takes commitments seriously — loyal as fuck. straight forward and direct, never one to sugar coat anything. great at public speaking. don’t get into an argument with her, because you will not win. doesn’t like Emotions. a lot of people call her intimidating — especially because she isn’t very talkative, so she just kind of sits back and listens to everything that’s going on, taking it all in and storing it away into her memory. sorry but she won’t pat u on the back for a job well done.

+ and then just some random headcanon-y facts that don’t really tie into personality but is more likes / headcanons / etc:

+ skilled with both knives and guns; she figured if she is going to write about something, she wants to know everything that she can about them.

+ black is her favorite color — never really got out of that middle school goth phase, but now she at least is well dressed af. black nails, black shoes, black heart.

+ loves sex. i mean, absolutely loves it. because of her lack of a fear at trying new things, she’s done most things under the sun. she hates the "norm" with most things, and sex is included in that. please do not give her vanilla sex, thanks.

+ give her red wine or give her death. (ok, she likes tequila too, but pretty much anything else alcohol-wise is a big ol’ no.) also, black coffee 👌🏻

+ owns more pairs of sunglasses than any one person should

+ check out her tag on my blog and you’ll see some more inspo.

+ bitch can hold a grudge — you have no idea. YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS COMING.

#wywhrp #c: darcy fuller #i have a thousand and one feels for her and i am sO SORRY WOW

BLACK LIVES MATTER

They mattered before the trend and they’ll keep mattering once the trend ends. We have to educate ourselves in order to do better - we need to do better. Be better. We may stumble, we may make mistakes along the way, but that’s okay, we’re learning. Learning isn’t linear. As long as you’re learning, evolving and fighting to make the world a safe space for everyone, you’re on the right path.

Here are a bunch of links to Petitions, Donations, Hot Lines, Books, Podcasts, etc... anything and everything so you can support the movement and educate yourself too:

Petitions:

If you are international and are unable to sign any of these, here are some zip codes you can use

90015 - Los Angeles, California

10001 - New York City, New York

75001 - Dallas, Texas

When it comes to petitions keep in mind that if you have more than one email you can sign more than once; also, white house petitions don’t do much. They were only effective under Obama’s administration, but aren’t so much under Trump’s as they aren’t obligated to give a statement after 100k signature.

David Owain Hughes has been a friend of mine for a long time. He has written many amazing stories that I totally love. He also has a wonderful sense of humor and with his creative mind can sometimes get himself in trouble with his his woman. They recently had a beautiful little girl named Ruby. I have tried to get him to send her to me but he refuses. Can’t blame a girl for trying. He is a kind man and always had the time to help another author and I admire that about him. His stories range from horror to deep dark and twisted horror. My favorite book he has written is Rack and Cue with Wind Up Toy Series a very close second. Now that I have the complete series I will be posting a review covering all those books. Don’t miss it! David is a very talented author and has an amazing gift for writing. If you haven’t read any of his books make sure you check him out you won’t regret it at all. Please help me welcome back David Owain Hughes to Roadie Notes……….

Artwork on David’s picture above was created by: Megan (good job I love it )

1. It’s been awhile since we talked what new books do you have out now? Latest release? Latest releases include the paper version of Man-Eating Fucks and the release of All-Wound Up and Escapees and Fevered Minds. There’s also been a few anthologies published that I appear in: Deprived Desires, The Big Book of Bootleg Horror, How to Cook a Baby and Shopping List.

2. If you could pick any author alive or dead to have lunch with who would it be? Why? Richard Laymon. After I’d discovered his books, all I wanted to do was write horror stories. I’d love the opportunity to pick his brain, even if it was only for an hour or three.

3. What is the strangest thing a fan has ever done? They sent me a bra and pair of knickers.

4. What is the one thing you dread to do when writing? Edit/draft: I hate that process. It takes up so much time – time I could spend writing. But there we go – it’s a must.

5. Did you have imaginary friends growing up? Tell me about them Sadly, I didn’t. I was too wrapped up in imaginary worlds with my toys.

6. Do you go to conventions? If not why?

I’ve attended a couple over the years, but never as a seller. I would love to, but at the moment it’s not right for me – there’s a couple of things stopping me from doing so, the biggest being lack of funds.

7. How many times did you have to submit your first story before it was accepted? Oh, man! I spent years writing and submitting before my first story got accepted way back in 2009 – I think I was blessed that year, as it was the year my son was born. I like to think his birth brought me the luck and skill I needed to press on.

8. Ever consider not writing? If so what made you continue? All the damn time! Well, maybe not all the time, but it does cross my mind from time to time. This way of thinking usually comes over me when I get down, causing self-doubt and loathing to kick in – all hope gets lost. I think a lot of writers and creative types would tell you this. I believe it comes with the territory!

9. Ever thought about writing in a different category?

Yes, and I have done so. Last year I wrote a crime/thriller/noir novel that I’d been itching to write for a few years. It’s currently awaiting an edit, which I hope to get to later this year.

10. Any new additions to the family?

Yes, little Ruby Storm Leigh Hughes, who’s ten-months-old this month.

11. What is coming up next for you?

I have a collection of short stories entitled Psychological Breakdown being released by HellBound Books in the Autumn. I also hope to get Man-Eating Fucks 2 out at some point this year. Also, there are two anthologies I’m excited about being published later this year.

12. Do you do release parties? Do you think they work?

I’ve done a couple of release parties in the past, yes. They’re a lot of fun! And yes, I think they work well, especially if you can draw a crowd.

13. Do you have crazy stalker fans? Have you ever had one you wish would go away?

I’d class the woman or man who sent me the bra and knickers as a crazy stalker; whoever it was sent me two lots of mail with ladies underwear in. Spooky. I’ve also had people send me weird messages from time-to-time, but nothing that horrible that I wished they would go away.

14. Do you still have a “day job”? If so what do you do? I work as a part-time cleaner in a restaurant close to where I live. It’s nothing special, but it helps pay the bills and ensures I can keep writing.

15. What is your process for writing? Do you have a voice in your head? I have many voices in my head, and they all tell me different things – they’re naughty like that. However, none of them tell me to write, or what to write. Bastards! My process is to sit and write as many words as I can, day in, day out. I usually like to get between 1-2,000 words down if I can. But I’ll take anything.

Now that I look after Ruby full-time, my routine has changed. Whereby I could sit at my desk all day and write undisturbed, I now have to fit it in around her, which is cool.

16. Is there a book you want to make a sequel to you haven’t yet?

I plan to write a third instalment to White Walls and Straitjackets later this year. Also, I have notes for a prequel to Walled In stashed away. I guess we will have to wait and see what happens.
