The pleasure of seeing the barista reading your old friend’s book.

'but harry potter was such a huge part of my childhood' reminder: the only reason jk rowling is doing a harry potter tv remake is bcos she wants a version she can flog that doesn't involve the original cast.

Doing a classroom visit today for a book now over twenty years old. That feels like nice. #brontes #branwell #wutheringheights

For people who are concerned about having their devices seized at US airports starting Monday when ICE "assists" the TSA, EFF has this guide: www.eff.org/deeplinks/20...

Listening to them shooting Paradise season 3 outside my Greenpoint window.

Relation to the patient: friend of the family. I understand that to be the extended queer family.

Thank you for constantly being there for Ukraine, Sean. We truly appreciate you coming here to offer your support once again — and on such an important day for you at that. Your actor’s talent can be matched only by your character’s integrity.

Reminder to not walk around NYC without ID, having just seen cops in subway hassling some poor soul.

The Chris Kraus introduction to the Barnes & Noble Classics edition of Willa Cather’s O Pioneers (library) is excellent.

Rehearsing being spontaneous for the reading.

Quick warning about a new scam targeting writers that we've suddenly had about 20 authors reach out about in the last few days: book club requests! A fake book club reaches out saying how much they want to feature your book. They frequently ask for a full PDF and some cash. Be safe out there.

Compiling notes for my translation.

I regrettably missed Kurt Cobain's birthday yesterday but am still going to use the opportunity to post one of the all time great photos of him: in Times Square in 1993 with Jenny Holzer theater marquee

Surely all this is not without meaning.

41 days of rain since January 1st in Portugal.

Pam Bondi is literally saying what does it matter if we let rich men rape and traffick kids if the economy is doing well (it is not). There it is y'all. Naked, unabashed late-stage capitalism.

Teaser: we’re getting ready to do an open call for queer artists at the gallery where a series of work will be exhibited and turned into a very small run edition of prints. This is the poster. Keep an eye out!

Still translating #elfriedejelinek and finished my version of her poem “adventure” (she gave title of English word) today… 24 more poems to go… @sevenstories.bsky.social (Greed) @yalepress.bsky.social (the Children of the Dead) @poetryfoundation.bsky.social (spring, contempt, our motorbike, tonight)

"Femmunist Intimations," my contribution to the eflux journal masculinities issue. Which includes a tribute to one of my teachers, Raewyn Connell.

The desperate hands of the global south seek to take back an overheated world. Seriously, what's next? The McHamburglar trophy in gourmet cooking? The Pol Pot Human Rights medal? The Jeffrey Epstein childcare grant? The Vladimir Putin democracy fellowship? The Weinstein-Cosby feminism prize?

Men take off their cowboy hats.

@tenderoni88.bsky.social Your uncle talking you up!

This is perfection, how it’s done.

Too excited to sleep.

It’s exciting to see new work from @josehernandezdz.bsky.social in @ettereview.bsky.social Was he grand? Was he a champion? A beggar? Somewhere in the middle? When he finally found his name, it was written on the bottom of his bedroom slipper. His name, it turns out, was “Exist.” - The Search

Thank you. Walking by the ACLU peeps stationed on the Cambridge corners today thought: The plan can’t be just asking for more money.
