Wow. The Mayor of Atlanta's communications office sure knows how to do some off-the-rails ad hominem attack on Linked-In. Absolutely devoid of substantive response. (See reponse below)

Yay! Thank you for the generous donation! We're still at 67% so I didn't update the graphic, but it wouldn't take too much to bump it over... eh?

We have nearly three weeks, this could still completely fund, and fund quickly, with attention! (Please help tell people! That's key!)

If any of you lovely translators want to take part there is an interview series on my blog, a set of questions to ponder and if you want to be involved answer at least six, add some images, bio, and links to website/socials

There are three interviews already

I took this picture of Olga and László in London in 2018. Congrats to Krasznahorkai and his translators, including George Szirtes and @ottiliemulzet.bsky.social, and long live a Central Europe free of dictators (foreign and domestic) and full of magnificent minds like these!

tired: the car podcast where you can hear the former bassist for the mountain goats Peter Hughes say "archive of our own" with his real human face, and we reference Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles, and also go on a long tangent about reading Proust in your indie-rock tour van

I know the goofy camera I bought a few weeks ago has some sort of filter meant to make digital photos look like disposable film shots but I’m still gonna say this one is unedited, ripped straight from the flash card. It’s rad.

@themountaingoats.bsky.social thank you for an incredibly joyful show in Atlanta tonight - I've been going to mountain goats shows since 2011 and it's been such a privilege seeing all the different seasons of y'all's work. I hope tour treats you all well!!
