Hey, folks! You know what's up. It's time, once again, to meet the Angry Reader of the Week, spotlighting you, the very special readers of this website. Over the years, I've been able to connect with a lot of cool folks, and this is a way of showing some appreciation and attention to the people who help make this blog what it is. This week's Angry Reader is Christy NaMee Eriksen.

What do you do?
I'm an artist grounded in social justice and community engagement, which basically means I work deadline to deadline on creative projects that I think make the world better in some way. Some days that's teaching poetry to young people; some days it's facilitating conversations on racial justice; some days it's writing a really long Facebook post poem in an attempt to change the narrative. I own a post office that is also a gift shop that is also a community gathering space, so I'm most often curating work from other artists or organizing programs or events to bring people together. Lately I've been carving out time for my own work and nourishing all my favorite relationships, and that feels nice.
You can often find me walking my neighborhood, playing Chance at the studio, or sharing a blueberry milkshake with my son. I never check the weather and that mostly works out. I use my childhood Tetris skills on my Google calendar, I dine with my besties (all goddesses) every Friday, and breakfast is my best life hack.
What are you all about?
Bread and roses
What makes you angry?
"Great meeting. Oh, I didn't take notes; can you email what you wrote down?" - men
Also, when you are stuck in an all day thing and they have coffee but the coffee is very bad
Also, when people yell
Also, inefficiency
