[This is the second time this teaser/link has appeared on this site, but this piece is causing a bit of a stir on tumblr, so I thought it warranted being seen again.]

“In the Ukraine, a country where females are victims of sexual trafficking and gender oppression, a new tribe of empowered women is emerging. Calling themselves the “Asgarda”, the women seek complete autonomy from men. Residing in the Carpathian Mountains, the tribe is comprised of 150 women of varying ages, primarily students, led by 30 year-old Katerina Tarnouska…”

Radiation, Wreckage, Vollmann: It’s What’s for Breakfast

Drax — Tue, 03 May 2011 13:50:18 +0000

“Just weeks after multiple disasters struck Japan, National Book Award winner William T. Vollmann ventures into the nuclear hot zone, outfitted only with rubber kitchen gloves, a cloth facemask, and a capricious radiation detector. He emerges with a haunting report on daily life in a now-ravaged Japan — a country he has known and loved for many years. And in the cities and towns hit hardest by the earthquake, tsunami, and radioactive contamination, Vollmann finds troubling omens of a future heading toward us all.”

It’s like Christmas morning. A KINDLE SINGLE, $2.99

The Daily Drax Count

Drax — Mon, 04 Apr 2011 04:08:54 +0000

It was a busy day, filled with guests and mysteries.

Writing: 30 mins

Words Written (for “W”): 74

Editing: 30 mins (another project, “G-is-Go”)

Plotting: 30 mins (A nice daydream with two old beloved characters; do I want to put them in this?!)

Designing that fucking HEXES cover while doing other shit: Longer than I care to admit. The whole process would have made one of those amusing speed-capture transformation videos.

See you tomorrow. The Zero Moon will pass soon.

“I Am A Writer For Hire.” — Maggie May Ethridge

Drax — Tue, 15 Mar 2011 00:05:56 +0000

“I’m back to work. Back to half-work. Almost half the hours, chop, like that. This economy began it’s financial beheading of my family with the loss of my husband’s hard earned and much loved business, continued along with the enormous IRS and medical debt, and has ascertained that a tendon, a ligament, some kind of silly string was still hanging by our neck and CHOP. Half-hours at work. I have looked so hard for writing work online. I have sent out carefully crafted emails that I spent hours working up. I have sent ideas, columns, poems, links, perfected the art of the self-selling soundbite, and nothing. I am a writer. This is what I do best, what runs in my familial blood, what I have done since I was five and what I always responded with to the question What do you want to be when you grow up? I write more than I breastfeed. I write more than I have sex. I write more than I eat. I probably write only less than I read. Hire me. I’ll make you happy. I’ll write until your shark tank is full of chum and your hands full of newspaper print. I’ll write until your teeth are stained with coffee laden afternoons of reading. I’ll write until your eyes are tired and your email is full of my attached. Just pay me to do it, so I can pay our goddamn water bill.

— Yours, Maggie May Ethridge”

And I have a song to play for you, MM. The second I heard it I thought of you. The song is “Sedna” by Monica Richards from the album Infra Warrior and the whispering chant at the end goes, “Mother is the most important word.” And it’s nine minutes and 25 seconds long.
