„But it is not serious to swim in a sea of blood and faint at the addition of another drop.” Incisive review of Dangerous, Dirty, Violent, and Young: A Fugitive Family in the Revolutionary Underground by Zayd Ayers Dohrn. I’m about halfway through this book now, and I have to say that the author…

Let’s sneak around and write fiction.

Hard agree. (I still stand by my assessment from 1990: Paglia is the Ayn Rand of stupid assholes you should never waste your time reading.)

O my Europeans, don’t let your politicians say you can’t have nice air conditioning! Especially my dear British comrades. It’s gonna be hard to be stoic when your stiff upper lip has melted off! Love, from Texas.

Daryl Hine: [P.K. Page's] 'After Rain' concludes with a prayer that should be that of any poet or translator.

The new Grindr is doing the Lord’s work.

Drinking tea on a Tuesday night?!?! I'm not in college anymore!

"The Prairieland cases are an emergency in their own right, but they are also a warning. This is not the last time the Trump administration will try to severely punish dissent. Opposing these sentences could help us stop the next one." newrepublic.com/article/2123...

That giraffe has already been barbecued. 🦒🍗

The poem doesn’t like you either.

Something a little spooky for #TranslationThurs as I take a look at Ueda Akinari's 1776 collection of stories, 'Tales of Moonlight and Rain' (translated by Anthony H. Chambers, published by Columbia University Press): tonysreadinglist.wordpress.com/2026/06/25/t...

Registration is now open for my upcoming Modern Jewish Thought seminar on Poetics: frankgarrett.online/philosophy/j... (September-November). We'll focus on Celan & Jabès and read essays by Levinas, Derrida, and Szondi.

“They didn’t like my book club.”

NYPost showing that you don’t need to know anything about how to properly hyphenate. We can just put words next to each other.

Lustration for all.

Some of our best work ✊🖤

#presidentpondscum would've done numbers on Twitter ten years ago. Not even my best work.

Already rooting for Number 3!

The word “vandalizing” is doing the heaviest of lifting in that sentence.

Mansplaining Father’s Day.

Someone needs to write a satire of contemporary politics based on the Order of the White Eagle controversy bc the actual events are hysterically funny.

Holy crap. Querelle at the Inwood. Breathless at Casa Linda. But Spacehunter in 3D at the Cine.

You could not imagine the words I've looked up in my thesaurus.

Pine cone kid destroys Magritte painting. This is the news they don’t want you to see.

I’m just now learning that there are people who don’t know all the words. Like, bruh, I read the dictionary when I was four.

You don't get to be a martyr until you're good and dead. #soquityourbitching

Some of my favorite works—by Reigl, Ernst, Reddy, Lam, Yarrow, Klee, Carrington, and Onslow-Ford—from the Surrealism/Tate exhibit.

People coming to Dallas expecting a major international city with things like infrastructure are in for a rude awakening. First, the games aren't even in Dallas; they're about 30 kms away in the suburbs. It will take you ~1 hr to get there from downtown on our fastest public transportation (bus).

I'll be running this workshop again in July. Please dm me for further details:

Every translator, every writer, every publicist, me rn: “FUCK!!! I hate having to chase a publisher!”

I’ve found my calling: adapting theatrical works in order to make them more accessible & age-appropriate. Starting with Querelle of Brest Jr. before moving on to Last Tango in Paris Jr. Fun for the whole family!

Father's day happens during pride month because being a dad is gay. I don't make the rules.

This (at 1:30) is the most accurate origin story ever for my alter ego Euro Frankie.

I translate 6-8 hours during the day, then I dream about translating for 6-8 hours at night. When I’m done with this project I’m going to schedule a colonoscopy or some other medical procedure just so I can have my brain manually turned off by propofol for a goddamn minute.
