The first full “sentence” that the toddler has learned is “Hey! Ho! Let’s go!” in perfect Ramones cadence, and I can’t tell him not to shout it in the grocery store because that would make me “the man” :/

Tuberculosis outbreak, high profile criminal case for a guy who gunned down an oligarch, discourse on whether or not the novel is a bourgeoise art form, Elon Musk is essentially a dumber Rasputin—did the 20th century happen at all?

Still not sure where emo is supposed to go from here. Those kids really did boil down 30 years of genre tropes into two lines

Yes, friend who is finally watching Twin Peaks for the first time because David Lynch died, it is very funny that Laura says “James is sweet but he’s so dumb” thank you for sending it to me

This morning I received a manuscript where the translator’s note mentions that, through a psychic medium, the dead author communicated that he knows the work is abstract, and the translation would be difficult, but that he was grateful for the undertaking.

Has Democrat leadership said a single thing about abortion rights since the election, or is the average person just fully on their own now?

In light of all the Bro Literature stuff, I went back and read the first 50 pages of Mrs Dalloway this morning, and it’s just completely fucking untouchable. It turns 100 this year, and if you dropped it into 2025 it would still feel fresh, even forward-thinking

Real quick, on ‘bros’ one of the things that Deep Vellum is very proud of is the fact that all of our imprints have such extremely distinct identities. The average Deep Vellum book is sub-300 pages, and likely comes from Latin America, Southeast Asia, or dissident Russians

Despite my instinct for self-deprecation, I think I can swing a “feels nice”

Pages 198 through 218, in the third volume of Peter Weiss’ The Aesthetics of Resistance, make up one of the most profoundly upsetting experiences I have ever had engaging with art. Jesus fucking Christ, dude. Holy shit.

Grateful Dead fans love to talk about the ephemeral nature of music and how it’s impossible to replicate any given thing, and then it’s “China Cat Sunflower” into “I Know You Rider” again

“Back to my home I dare not go” is a very disquieting line for an otherwise lighthearted children’s song

In honor of DFW’s birthday, here is the galley copy of Infinite Jest that belonged to Dalkey Archive founder John O’Brien. Signed, and with an insert about an error in the text, which I find very charming. It’s an “uncorrected” proof, David! It says so!

The repressive regime is rounding up the intellectuals and forcing them into political exile, which means you've got nothing to worry about lol just a little joke :)

Not a fan of how eagerly we mark time and self-mythologize right now. Everything is “[something] summer” or a numbered wave, or a clearly-defined scene. I guess would like to be “living in the moment not a phone in sight” but like, big picture existentially

Noticed that one of the booksellers at Deep Vellum has multiple Jeff Rosenstock stickers on her laptop, and just did the math that she was four years old when I got into BTMI

I have not watched Season 2 of Severance but the fact that the company operates in 206 countries, which is 11 more than exist in real life, is one of those little things that makes my brain light up
