Celebrate the Strawberry Moon, Friday the thirteenth, and Shayne’s birthday with a good story or two: www.asst.art/event-detail...

Just saw this book blurb: "'Sophie’s World set in the art world.'— Le Figaro," and I vomited a little.

How do you know that the toothbrush was invented in Arkansas? Because anywhere else it would've been called a teethbrush. (My dentist told me this joke so it's okay.)

My several endorsement deals require that I issue this apology: by "fuck all y'all" I meant specifically "all y'all."

Tell me that you’re completely obsessed with my genitals without saying you’re completely obsessed with my genitals.

“some people have questioned the LRAD's effectiveness, since wearing simple ear protection can render it useless.” — from science.howstuffworks.com/lrad.htm

Me cago en la puta migra.

Some of y'all cant handle 2 high agency males going at it and it really shows.

In honor of the recent Supreme Court ruling and the birthday of Federico del Sagrado Corazón de Jesús García Lorca, everyone gets to reverse reverse-discriminate against a whitey and a straight for the rest of June.

While the world burns I slipped away to a private museum’s library to spend a couple of hours with my art boyfriend Robert Irwin. Finally moving this project forward.

I have the title of my book and the title of the first chapter. I now just have to write it.

In 1989 it felt like the air was on fire as I watched the events in Tiananmen Square on TV at the student union building in Arlington, Texas. Then in Beijing for the 10th anniversary. I think a lot about those students. Death to all tyrants. ⛓️‍💥

“Therefore, extraction, graft, extension: you know that this is what I call … writing.”—Jacques Derrida, trans Alan Bass (I swooned so hard when I read this.)

I've been updating my website. Please enjoy my big refresh.

"It was the third of June…" Ode to Billy Joe taught me that if you're poor and Queer and in the American South, you have to fight for your survival every single fucking day. Here's Sinéad O'Connor's cover: youtu.be/YF3vNLaESZI?....

The bro-dudes have completely colonized my PT clinic. When I first began going 3 years ago, at least 50% of the employees were women. Now it's 100% solid sausage fest. They do that thing that straight men do where they act like they're performing some kind of sports maneuver instead of just being

One ought to really learn to read before attempting to build a canon. One might want to also question the assumptions of canons before offering a critique of them. Yes, this is to dissuade you from clicking on that LiberalCurrents article.

Is it too late to print this on tee shirts and bumper stickers: “Nawrocki? Nie wróci.” Or how about: “Polska na wrocki”? Perhaps not as simple or fun as just calling Duda “Dupa” for the past several years. (He’ll always be President Dupka to me.)

News roundup: Happy Pride. Слава Україні. Poland, don’t fuck this up. Death to all tyrants. ACAB. BDS. BLM.

Pretty wild to make your entire case about how immigrants are lawless freeloaders, but having to go to their workplaces and court hearings to arrest them.

Woke up yesterday from a dream in which I had written a wonderful essay entitled “Schleiermacherian Delight.” Even asleep I’m still … like this.

Really should've grown my hair for 2025 bc today would've been a good day to pull it all out.

Nothing confirms the fact that The Handmaid's Tale takes place in an entirely fictional world quite like the fact that Christian nationalists accept the science of climate catastrophe.

I read the first 30 pages of my dissertation earlier today, the first time in probably 15 years or so, and I am even more convinced that the main reason I never had an academic career is because I was just too damn smart. Also: shitty committee members, but mostly just too damn smart.

That Politico piece by Jonathan Cowan is, like most "middle-ground" hand-wringing, spurious, unscientific garbage. Any claim that either sex or gender is only ever a simple binary knows too few people and has never spent time among animals or other living beings. Also, Politico is always garbage.

It's always a surprise when I get back to where I left off most recently in my translation work: "You're shitty as fuck. Like always." [Jak zawsze, jesteś zjebany jak chuj.]
