Just finished. Gorgeous story, gorgeous prose, gorgeous poetry. Though it's not in chronological order, it feels as if it's in the *proper* order—each section given context and resonance by the ones preceding it. And boy is there resonance, across characters and continents and years. #BookSky

No one reads anymore. No one makes money doing this. And none of it is real. Come join the mass delusion of creative writing with us

It’s bad enough that people sentenced to prison by the government (a public entity) are held in private prisons (managed by an individual who may have free reign over specifics of governance),

But being sent overseas to prisons outside of the United State’s purview is actually psychotic

Want to go ahead and start writing publicly again and it seems substack is the best platform for this…

Is there any other platform you from the void would recommend or is substack my best bet?

Does anyone else have a love-hate relationship with spoilers in book introductions?

Wonderful book review of Thomas Harrison’s, “Of Bridges: A Poetic and Philosophical Account,” by Aqsa Ijaz

An exciting find through research concerning the symbolism of liminal spaces and thresholds

My grandfather explained to me that our journey here is like walking on a bridge (pul), a kind of crossing over to the other side.

They hate queerness. They hate filth. They hate chaos. So that's what you should show them.

There’s something sinister about the concept of dreams relaying information/meaning symbolically but their analytical interpretation then nullifying the meaning or its power

No doubt Schrödinger would’ve had some thoughts

Does being incapable of focusing on anything outside of these painful cramps count as being mindful?

Can I consider this a meditative practice 😭 I am completely present after all

This kinda stuff is why Freud is back in fashion imo. hard to reach explanations other than the death drive
Ordering the CDC to stop all public communications in the middle of a bird flu epidemic is definitely a choice.

We have a real scarcity on that front

Years ago while researching for an essay on the death drive I stumbled upon this magnificent video essay

It still informs my work and I go back to it often

Florida doesn’t get many waves but when there’s a swell it doesn’t matter if your professional camera is at your disposal.

You. Take. Pictures.

Even if its with a tiny digital one

Does anyone have advice for those who want to do van life but refuse to use starlink to get internet.

This is the only thing keeping me from diving right in
