Christ, what an asshole.

I've spent the week having a bunch of very fun getting-to-know you meetings with prospective authors, so I thought I'd share a bit of info about what I do & what I'm looking for. To start: I'm an acquisitions editor at @illinoispress.bsky.social, in charge of what's called our "regional trade list."

“That Alice Coltrane, an African American woman from Detroit, died a Hindu guru in the foothills of the Santa Monica Mountains is a story no less extraordinary than her husband’s.” —Adam Shatz

me: I will read a primer on logic, to help with the clarity of my expression the primer:

I'm a big fan of the Arizona Fall League, which everything you think Spring Training is, but isn't: cheap tickets, relaxed atmosphere, hungry prospects. But apparently the AFL Home Run Derby is some kind of bespoke experience now? I'm not paying $25 to watch AA guys hit dingers off 45 mph pitches.

At the LAT, I wrote about the Sam Shepard bio "Coyote," revealing about the shifting sands of avant-garde theater, personal demons, masculinity in art, etc. www.latimes.com/entertainmen...

I saw the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir and Tallinn Chamber Orchestra, led by Tõnu Kaljuste, performing Arvo Pärt back in 2014. Easily one of my top 10 favorite concerts. They performed "Fratres" and "Cantus in Memory of Benjamin Britten" among others. www.newyorker.com/magazine/202...

My chaotic-evil pick is Bonds and Kent, and make them sit next to each other at the ceremony.

I cannot effing wait to read this, @lbmcgrath.bsky.social

MLB sent me a survey just when I was looking for a good reason to procrastinate.

John Coltrane live in Japan 1966. Full-on agony/ecstasy. Damn. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dNCU...

Yeah, PCA is great. Jacob Young still got robbed.

Well, maybe Decoy will be at the parade.

Just heard one of our neighbors shouting through the wall for the first time. We’ve lived next to them for five years

Look if it takes shoving Kike Hernandez into a wall to get more baseball

This can't go into extras we already used all our good jokes.

Greetings from Scottsdale, Arizona, where my kid is playing with his HS chamber orchestra at today's Arizona Fall League game.

<Baseball radio right now, probably>So tense in the stadium right now. Folks, this inning is sponsored by Loopy Lou's Hyundai. Loopy Lou is CRAzy to put you in a new Elantra! Visit a showroom to learn about Loopy Lou's inSANE prices! Pitcher comes set, everyone here on the edge of their seats...

As you might imagine, this is even more confusing over the radio

If the Jays pull it off they'll play "It's All Coming Back to Me Now" for the real CanCon heads.

Has anybody informed Fox Sports that there are Canadian acts besides Rush?

A great story, and a good place to start with Gass if you've found stuff like "The Tunnel" too big/pomo/intimidating.
