LA people: this Wednesday 10/22 I’ll be reading at Skylight Books with the amazing Karolina Waclawiak and Katya Apekina! @twodollarradio.bsky.social party! www.skylightbooks.com/event/skylig...

I don’t “get high,” unless you count trying to sing along with Journey records while on the rowing machine.

I love all things Taylor & Ng. I just DEVOURED this profile. Incredible level of detail.

LA people: Tomorrow, Friday 5/30, I’ll be introducing a screening of the excessively grim 1981 German film CHRISTIANE F. at Vidéothèque! 8 p.m. Cypress Park. It will NOT be the dubbed version (sorry if you like shitty dubbing) (I kind of do).

👀🌙 Grace Krilanovich’s cult-classic novel — The Orange Eats Creeps — is being adapted to film, under the title “The Highway That Eats People.”   WestEnd Films has boarded worldwide sales for the film, which will be directed by Mary Harron. 🔗 www.screendaily.com/news/westend...

My recommended book list from the Powell's event last night, including @juliaelliott.bsky.social's Hellions, Michelle Tea's Black Wave, Dionne Brand, and more.

Inspired choice to cast Jim Gaffigan in this

As someone who sought out AMOK and Feral House books in high school and beyond, I can’t get over this

All in on yellow books right now. Invest in yellow books. They’re the hottest thing going

What?!! Thank you so much!!

I haven't been this excited about a blind discovery at the bookstore in a quarter-century. #booksky @gracekrilanovich.bsky.social @twodollarradio.bsky.social

one thing i love about peepo (and all of the ahlberg's books, really) is how the family just lives in like, a normal house. like they're poor and there's a lot of people crammed in there and their stuff is everywhere just like in a normal house where people love each other

They say pick your lane, so… my lane is making sure LAUSD doesn’t comply with shit from these anti-trans EO’s

"Grace Krilanovich’s 'The Orange Eats Creeps' is an existential phantasmagoria running rampant with stream-of-consciousness storytelling." Reviewed by Philip Janowski

Keep trying to make the Melvins “Sesame Street Meat” happen on the school commute playlist but the kids are like “No.”

Reissue out today! Big thanks to @lauravandenberg.bsky.social for the killer new afterword. I started writing this novel 20 years ago, finished it around this time in 2007. Published 2010. It feels ancient, yet the book refuses to die!

You don’t hear enough about how Lynch photographed MAKEUP. I’m thinking especially Mulholland Drive and Inland Empire, Blake in Lost Highway(!), an emphasis on the makeup surface, the actor underneath. Love it.

We are so back. Reissue drops Jan 21. Get it from your local bookshop. 🌔

Driving around LA meditating on the phrase PRETENDING TO DANCE

Kicking off thanksgiving break with a screening of THE DEVILS at beloved LA film institution Vidéothèque, ce soir

Prefer not to view images of symmetrical cross sections of sandwiches and burritos yet can’t quite articulate why

The kids are demanding detailed retellings of stories from the new Brian Evenson at dinner, which is taking all my powers of recall and pacing but also I want my 7 year old to sleep?
