I've got a website! Unsurprisingly, david dot com was already taken, but it's all for the best. Three davids are better than one.

My theater going in NYC this trip was camp, queer, festive and absurd with Messy White Gays, Bat Boy, Queen of Versailles, Waiting for Godot and the Rockettes Christmas Spectacular! 🎭🏳️🌈🦇🎄

On this trip to New York, I just got one book at the @strandbookstore.bsky.social’s Mark Z. Danielewski event. But at nearly 1250 pages, I feel like this one will contain multitudes.

While in Oklahoma City, I found Bookish bookstore-Caboose Coffee - a really charming used bookstore/coffee shop that hosts regular literary events and sells dangerously nice oatmeal cream pies!

On this trip to Oklahoma, I finally managed to make a stop at the Chickasaw Cultural Center in Sulphur. A great center with a traditional village, dance demonstrations, exhibits and films on Chickasaw history, a restaurant and (of course) a bookshop! 📚

While back in Oklahoma for a few days I discovered Boarding House Books in Claremore. A used bookstore that looks like it’s cozily merged with my grandma’s living room. Grandma, like me, loved influential Native literature and old timey photos of naked strongmen.

This month, Sneha Pathak and @tansyg.bsky.social talk to me about texts often dismissed as too slight to review - books, films, genres with which we might be accused of merely passing time.
How should critics approach this sort of work? And why?
