"A disappeared lake, a sinking city. Diego Gerard Morrison’s new book ... shows that neither phrase is metaphorical as he dissects Mexico City’s water system, the 'costliest and most absurd on the planet.' ... Informative and entrancing...." tomatotomato.xyz/the-review/u... @splitlippress.com

@splitlippress.com author Diego Gerard Morrison will be in conversation with Michael Cavuto about his fiction collection Upflow, which concerns Mexico's water system. Join us on 11/3 @wordbookstores.bsky.social @ 7 pm! withfriends.co/event/310204...

I am way too online for my own good, and I had an unreasonably large twitter following, and I really *enjoyed* twitter for a lot of years, and yet leaving there and never looking back was maybe the easiest what-felt-like-a-big-ethical decision I've ever made.
