Being Gentler With Ourselves: To Pluck, Not Seize

The Fuster Cluck LIVE | 9.16.23

Hump on hump day humpers. It’s another Wednesday, so it’s another Fuster Cluck LIVE with your two dinguses of hosts, me and Lady G.

We talk about a lot today, diving into everything from some vintage typewriters I’ve got for sale (more on that at the end) and my article this weekend that you can read if you missed it by clicking below:

And, as per usual, I ask you the question of the week that I cannot wait to see your answers to. It is this:

What in your own life have you been seizing that deserves to be plucked (or gathered) instead?

Basically, do some inventory, some self-reflection, and ask what you’ve been seizing where a gentler approach would serve oh-so-much better?

Leave a comment

Also, ANOTHER reminder in case you done plumb forgetted:

There is STILL TIME to join us for the next LIVE hangout with ALL of us, where we read poetry, spread rumors, gossip probably, talk about cool shit like tv shows and music and movies and generally help save the world and solve problems. It’s gonna be:

September 24, 2026 at 6pm Mountain Time!

So if you’ve been waiting for an excuse to join us, NOW is that time! Click the button below the prancing unicorn, join the family, keep this place alive. Revel in the glory.

Oh, and for the typewriters I’ve got up for grabs if anyone wants to buy one. Here are the pics and basic details. I did my best to look up fair prices based on condition and crap between eBay and Etsy and am being as cool as I can about it:

First one is the Royal Quiet De Luxe 1950’s model, WITH the case, totally immaculate/serviced/wonderful WITH a backup ribbon brand new in the package. These go anywhere from $225 - friggen $800 on Etsy. $250 + shipping and it’s yours.

Second one is a Royal Arrow not totally sure on the year, but these look to range anywhere from $150 - $400. $200 + shipping and you can have it.

If not, ain’t no thang.

Thanks for tuning in and giving us 30 minutes of your valuable daytime hours. Cannot tell ya how much I appreciate it. Cue obligatory auto-generated “thank you note” that somehow Substack does hahaha:

Thank you Mara, Kevin, Ash Ley Maris 🦋, and many others for tuning into my live video! Join me for my next live video in the app.

I love you all.

Be good.
