Literature—the life of it, especially so close to the ground of it, the living and writing and reading with each other—is community work; we do this together. It’s participatory. It’s gift exchange.

"To be an artist or a writer is to be this weird thing—a hand worker in an era of mass production." Susan Sontag

I have an idea: add a widget that uses AI to simulate the depletion of aquifers used to cool the data centers that run each campus’s Canvas AI! Pedagogical self-reflexivity! Infrastructural literacy!

States do not bleed. They do not cry out in pain. They do not cry or laugh. They do not make poetry or compose music or write sonnets. They do not love and they do not experience joy. Because they are legal fictions organized for the convenience of *people*. States don't have rights. People do.

"As a settlement conceived of in the world where the spirits live, the terrible beauty of the slum is that it never really was a slum, but an infrastructural assemblage of another order." Dele Adeyemo, "Wey Dey Move" (from The Alchemy Lectures)

My writing advice is keep it in the oven until the center isn’t gooey / the toothpick comes out clean.

Apply, my loves! 💜💜💜

Amazing opportunity with Assisted Lab for PhD applicants passionate about transdisciplinary research!

There is no hermetic knowledge in the text that you are being assigned to extract. No, it is (rather like the gym) the process of reading the text and thinking about it (maybe in a particular context set by the prof/course) that's wanted. That, supposedly, the student is paying for.

Though set in Argentina, Sofía Almiroty’s ‘Mala carne’ was published in Spain, where assisted dying has been legal since 2021 – as opposed to Argentina, where it remains a crime. I've written for @assistedlab.bsky.social about the novel, which is inspired by Almiroty’s own grandmother.

the methods may seem strange but we're going to figure it out

got that new-new Julián Martinez with piece inspired by Letters to Wendy's & Springsteen, special just for all you sickos! https://www.havehashad.com/otz6d

"we communicate over the Internet and to you the howls of snow and wind are something unheard of–it all reminds a quiet air alert. Finally, you come back disappointed and together we belatedly raise our kids hoping to outrace the time." —Anton Lushankin
