RIP Dan Simmons. Hyperion is unforgettable
me every time I meet someone again: hi I remember you!
every person I meet again: I don't remember you!
Bottlerocket sounds way better as a venue for this kind of thing. This one is the New Press, City Lights, Haymarket, 7 Stories, Akashic and a bunch of others.
There's a party at the Warren on Thursday night, hosted by small press publishers, but I don't understand how anyone will fit!
there's no where to park
things are looking up, man
turning 40 this week and listening to Jeff Tweedy's new triple album and thinking about how writer's block is a complete mythology made up by uninteresting dudes
cut everything that could help citizens prosper in order to fund concentration camps.
I will run away from a Klosterman book so fast, it's wild
Three years after the East Palestine train derailment, communities are still living with the fallout. Residents still need long-term care and real rail safety protections. Moving the U.S. Rail Safety Act forward would help protect every community along the tracks.
there is no where to put the snow
“People are so afraid to go out and participate in public life regardless of their citizenship status. This isn’t about immigration.”
Cool profile of the great Moon Palace Books and their courageous response to ICE in @literaryhub.bsky.social.
meaning I knew then when I was *so dumb* that they were rating records based on how cool they thought they were. terrible. awful. these people are the enemy
I have been out on Pitchfork since 1999 (I was 13) when they said the Fragile sucked. when they revisited it some years ago it they gave it a good rating.. nah you guys can't take it back. fuck you
Interesting survey results from the American Booksellers Association with 382 member-stores responding:
Of our survey respondents, 73.3% said their 2025 sales were up from 2024.
Been working in publishing for 12 years and no one, not one, person has ever said 'no' to a request. And I've never said no to a request. Would never dream of it. Not bragging AT ALL but this maelstrom is the home base. But it happened to me today and I totally unraveled at my desk 😅
losing faith in institutions and each other is what an authoritarian society is all about and social media is the trigger point. lashing out at strangers, blaming regular folks for shit the state is doing out in the open. funneling every emotion toward the Internet
We’re donating 25% of our January profits to: Open Arms of Minnesota, Monarca Rapid Response, and Immigrant Law Center MN.
Friends, our community here in MN desperately needs help protecting against ICE.
Please join us in donating directly to these orgs that provide food, safety & legal support to MN immigrants.
And if you’ve been meaning to pick up a zine from our shop, there’s never been a better time. 💌
Sun are cool dudes. Their music genuinely hurts to listen to live and is not for me. But I met them one time backstage and they were chill as hell (and gave me a beer) and so I root for them
My daughter is six months old this week. Just wanted to thank my mom and dad for making sure I stayed alive during this period of complete helplessness, wowee
a few weeks ago there was a gentleman in his 50s standing in line behind me at Target about to buy the new Deftones record on vinyl and I regret not greeting him with at least a 'dude, sick' or something. I think about this once a day
okay about a year ago my wife (pregnant and very hungry) and I were getting bagels and a guy crossed the street in front of our car and she called him a Dickbutt.
where is the comics blue sky. instead of doom scrolling in bed these days, I am reading comics on the DC app. holy shit Absolute Batman is constantly awesome and surprising
they busted out the John Berryman font™️ for this new John Berryman book
how can I politely ask my friends and/or family members to stop sending me instagram reels and actually interact with me in a meaningful way
I feel like there is a lot of genre bookstores popping up each month - I celebrate this.
This month my student loans owed dropped below six figures. 🌟
for fun I like to drive around my neighborhood carefully and come to a full stop at stop signs
