The relationship between Judeofascist and Christofascist ideologies is very loud right now. It is key to Trump’s success.

Janacek's string quartet no. 2, "Intimate Letters", which he originally imagined for the viola d'amore but finally composed for the viola. No one asks *more* of the viola than Leos. :) www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOSF...

Hey friends what are your fav novel made of fragments?

Art is a vital means of resistance that can reach across time and space 🖤

Hell yeah, Friday night drop of @causticcovercritic.bsky.social’s year in review! eigermonchjungfrau.blog/2025/02/21/j...

And now, anyway, everyone’s denouncing everyone else, especially the Nazis are denouncing each other because they all think that way they can get off themselves. - Ingeborg Bachmann, War Diary

As a Leo with a Taurus boyfriend I’m feeling very attacked right now

Nothing quite like weeping through Alabama Symphony Orchestra's performance of Shostakovich's 10th this morning. How strange the way tyrants return. How defiant the music and poetry imagining an Otherwise. All conspires in this. 🖤

Lmao at this maniac’s “official portrait” and his self titling as “The Most Excellent”. Someone needs to fix his @wikipedia.org page. :)

Captions as arguing with the possibilities of what a photo *represents*, as when Benjamin Swett studies the photos in his father's Green Album and says 'the intent is in the captions'.

I learned today about the passing of Peter Elbow, who had been director of the Writing Program at UMass when I was there. RIP, Peter. www.umass.edu/english/news...

I was waiting for this move.

Happy Birthday, Frederick Seidel.

I have new letter out about the enshittification of social media, the pleasure of following your shiny magpie creative interests, and the pressure to create an author presence on all these online platforms which continue to decay and degrade around us. jdscott.substack.com/p/in-the-age...

Reissuing soon, @designhist.bsky.social !

“He who saves his Country does not violate any Law.” I wonder if Americans really understand what is taking place before our eyes.

I just came out of a meeting in which nonprofits were planning how they could financially survive and support their missions to help people to find that our president has declared himself the king on social media. I'm not making that up. That's real.

"Better the Almighty Dollar than a tub of rancid guts labelled King." - Mark Twain (P.S. Fuck Midjourney)

Vance's book getting banned is lowkey hilarious

You might not think we're a fascist regime, but fascist regimes think we are.

While mainstream media, centrists, and "contrarians" have spent a decade hyperventilating when people call Trump is an authoritarian... in the future no one will think the Americans of today didn't see it coming. They'll think, correctly, it was announced with bullhorns.
