It's your birthday, Duane.

billionaire: i have 3 brains. in my skull interviewer: incredible

a few months ago I asked a friend what my non- or para-academic grift should be, and he told me to "write literary criticism, and have a little dignity," and I've thought about this every day since.

We don’t talk enough, as a culture, about Iggy Pop’s “Candy” (1990)

okay but sometimes a woman can become another woman and she meets another woman who is not the woman she thinks she is, and then they fall in love, but the women?? they are not the women they think they are, and yet they are those women, they are. Anyway I rewatched Mulholland Drive yesterday

a really great thing in this trashfire year was seeing a lot of movies in the middle of the day at my local film society. Do you have a decent rep cinema nearby? Does it have janky seats? Is it a great place to drink a few small beers and watch a triumph of modernity? I love da movies and so can you

hmm if I mute “Savage“ how will I get my updates about the 2020 megan thee stallion hit

thinking about Ahmed al Ahmed, the Sutherland fruit shop owner who tackled the Bondi shooter. I’ll never chat shit about the Shire again

it’s St Lucy’s day, so you know what that means — time for the best John Donne poem

went to see Hustlers in Jersey City in 2019 and the way the entire packed cinema **lost it** at JLo's anti-Wall Street speech: "You see what they did to this country? They stole from everybody. And not one of these douchebags went to jail, not one."

I am strongly tempted by this garment. I do not need access to my feet. I will bunny hop through the winter, encased in my wearable bed

happy end of fall semester to all who celebrate

cold enough today to have me considering returning to the land of Washing Line Snake Pits

man what the fuck. i'm a good woman. i pay my taxes. you can't do this to me

the transition from wuthering heights to i want you in my room has transformed my understanding of carly rae jepsen

I talk a lot about how Australia has an unfair reputation for snakes and spiders and it's really not that big an issue, but tonight my mum did proudly report that she's "managed to solve the problem of the snake pit by the washing line"

Turns out, the idea of "poetic technique" was once strange and new. Here's a new article on what "technique" meant for poets and critics in the time of modernism, and in particular about how it shaped their judgement of poetry and poets. Might be of interest? doi.org/10.1111/criq...

Look at what arrived today! I couldn't be more pleased or proud. w/ kristingrogan.bsky.social

wait you’re saying I listened to a lot of Big Thief, Geese, and Adrianne Lenker? I listened to so much Big Thief? A hefty dose of Geese? A concerning amount of Adrianne Lenker? I was there buddy. I know what I did. Don’t you dare report my reality back to me

the thing is December is fine. I don’t mind December. December winter is novel, it is fresh. But December carries within it the threat and anticipation of February, a December that is colder, crueler, a December that has aged and grown vengeful. I can already feel February, and it is intolerable

As you’re preparing for your Thanksgiving meal, remember the skilled work it took to get that food to your grocery store. Tell us your favorite Thanksgiving dish, and we can share some of what we know about the work behind the ingredients.

watching everyone plan their Thanksgiving menus is the most horrified and non-American I feel. The things you people do to poultry. To pies. To casseroles. The world deserves answers
