I have a new little flash up today at @yourimpossiblevoice.com

The ants are coming, you might want to just lie down and accept it.

"While other universities report that the humanities are shrinking, at Berkeley, the opposite is true. The music major is the fastest-growing major on campus.

Graced by the presence of experimentalist Elisabeth Sheffield, author of a remarkable run of novels mostly from @fictioncollective2.bsky.social, whose tour de force here mashes up 2nd-person by retail marketing with extreme decompression of time, while taking a wry look at the tradeoffs of mid-life.
