Babies were found with dead brain tissue similar to what follows cancer and the kind of bleeding seen after a stroke. Their autopsies came to the same conclusion: Their deaths could have been prevented with a long-standard vitamin shot. Revisit @deldeib.bsky.social's story, a Sidney Award winner:
Babies Are Bleeding to Death as Parents Reject a Vitamin Shot Given at Birth
A lifesaving injection given at birth to prevent severe bleeding has become collateral damage of the anti-vaccine movement.

After a few days away, I’m back home to unbox my books! Thank you to my wife, Mary, for doing an impromptu photo shoot & videoing me opening my briefcase of books! Yes. I’m wearing a The National shirt. Are you surprised? 😂 Thanks again to @matchfactoryeds.bsky.social! The book looks amazing!
Happy pub day to my book! It’s Easy to Lose Your Breath is now out in the world. You can still nab it anytime, whenever you can! I hope you enjoy traveling thru parts of my 2020 & 2021 again. (😂 😭) Of course, I’m out of town this week when it arrives, but I’ll be opening that package this weekend.
This is such a great collection!
Kevin A. Risner@mrdecember.bsky.social · 4mo agoAnother poem to share with you all from my soon-to-be-out collection thru @matchfactoryeds.bsky.social! This time it's a prose poem published in @somewordslit.bsky.social. Huge props to @juscarts.com for starting this fun little online messageboard-y space. :-) somewords.boards.net/thread/16/ke...
Today is Publication Day! My book "Through the Bronze Mirror" is officially out! I'm deeply grateful to publisher @matchfactoryeds.bsky.social and editors RD Morgan and Snežana Žabić. The book offers speculative poems AND short stories that I wrote over the past (mumble, mumble) years.
It’s so weird that American Gladiators is filmed in France. I imagine the live audience finds it quite amusing.
Top Chef product placement reminds me of the Pepsi in Strait-Jacket with Joan Crawford.
Good news in the sh*%storm: I have a new poetry collection coming later this year! Beginning to Sense, @matchfactoryeds.bsky.social, October 2026. (That's not the cover. I just mocked up a title page for this announcement.)
Gaze upon this cover! Read about the book! Preorder Kevin A. Risner's It's Easy To Lose Your Breath now or as soon as you scrape up a few bucks. matchfactoryeditions.com/books/Its-Ea...

COVER REVEAL It's Easy to Lose Your Breath has a cover! Check out the color scheme. I wanted to lean into the pulmonary theme a bit so we chose a gray background & dark blue border with pink corners & lettering. Really love how it all turned out in the end. Thank you, @matchfactoryeds.bsky.social!
If you were horrified watching elected leaders run & scramble because of gun violence, just imagine how my daughter Jaime felt in school running from an active shooter before she was killed. Now, become a part of the solution & only vote for people determined to address gun violence in America.
My 10-year-old daughter got invited to a Renaissance Fair, and she wants to go as a Wendigo. 🤣
Wow, that's a nice surprise! And hell yeah people are going to love ALL these @matchfactoryeds.bsky.social books because great editors make great books! I've loved every MFE book I've read so far.

I’ve been sewing badges onto my daughter’s Scouts uniform by hand and feel like I’m Laura Ingalls Wilder.
This was a great surprise this morning! @thecorlew.bsky.social gave TSOTHOIEETTT a write up right there alongside Kurt Vonnegut's Galápagos. Whoa Nelly. And thanks, Chris! (Re-posting b/c it autocompleted the wrong bsky tag. 🤷🏼♂️)

Does anyone else still have Lily Allen’s new album on repeat?
This is true. I see at least one every time I drive somewhere.

@mitchnobis.bsky.social Thank you so much for attending our reading tonight! It means a lot to us that you did!
@mrdecember.bsky.social Thank you so much for tuning in to our reading! Also: my favorite horror movie! I have always been obsessed with The Ring, but Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? is up there, too. How about you?
