Brian K. Hauser is a writer and editor from Chicago. By day, he works on social studies textbooks. Most nights, he is probably enjoying live music or playing video games with his boyfriend. In what seems like a former life, he was a James A. Michener Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin. You can read more of his work in the latest issue of Hypertext. Follow him on Bluesky or whatever they're calling Twitter these days: @RabbleHauser.
