Reread as text Don Pizarro's @donfoolery.com stories that he read in person at Ithaca Irrealist Readings. @irrealist.bsky.social Really enjoyed the escalation and competition in “Show and Tell”—as well as the Filipino cultural backdrop that comes to life: anting anting, religion and family.

You can’t tell, but as this photo was taken I was repeating the Ithaca Irrealist Liberation Front manifesto in my head

Isang bagsak! Thanks for having me @irrealist.bsky.social. It was a blast reading with @parkeriswriting.bsky.social!

(There... if I wasn't on a watchlist before being Brown while working for an Ivy and living in a Sanctuary City, I sure am now!)

This was a great event! I really enjoyed the readings.

Dark moments, bright moments, powerful stories!

Filipino cultural heritage, Catholicism, D&D, mirrors, strange eeriness... an arresting array of narratives!

Enjoyed “Our Continuity, Each of Us Raindrops” by @parkeriswriting.bsky.social
Upstate NY, the waters, cataloging of species & cyborg. Gorgeous language & an interesting take on rainmaker! Loved the etymology & provenance of cultural institutions like sports.

Granted, "the 22nd night of September" doesn't have the same ring to it as the Earth, Wind & Fire line, but I'm sure @parkeriswriting.bsky.social and I will make it one to remember!

If you're around the 607, come by Liquid State at 7 pm!
