To Do ASAP

From a writer and performer described as "fiercely hilarious" by The New Yorker, a collection of absurd and intimate attempts to accomplish twenty-four daunting tasks in an era of structural overwhelm and revolutionary possibility.

We are all confronted with daunting tasks, each urgent in their own way: Act normal at a birthday party. Assassinate a war criminal. Log onto some new patient portal. Seize state power once we decide if we want to seize state power. Get a better attachment style. Forgive people who are younger. Don't spend eleven hours on the phone. Every day more and more things to do. No wonder we are so overwhelmed!

To-do lists are the preferred genre of all sorts of people seeking control in a chaotic world. And yet they sadly do not ensure we'll actually get to our tasks. In To Do ASAP, activist and comedian Morgan Bassichis takes action.

As Morgan hilariously tackles twenty four of their own outstanding to dos, they insist that we each bring our whole, imperfect selves to the collective work of fighting for liberation. They invite us to grapple with the anxieties of taking action in times of perpetual emergency and, in so doing, to renew our commitments to one another.
