Ami, you are too funny! If you do, I'll cook something from it and send you those snacks, but they will be snacks from hell because the mail from South America to North America is really slow ::melting pumpkin face:: 🫠🎃

All settled in for day 1 tabling at @voidcon.bsky.social ! Stop by for a special limited edition zine (story by horrorsong.blog), a sticker, and vote in the Nosferatus Fuck/Marry/Kill poll. You can also buy some books by us (@probablyharmless.bsky.social and @residualdreaming.bsky.social)

A photo of Cassandra and Theo. Theo is standing behind Cassandra, and giving her bunny ears. They are both behind a table, which is covered with a variety of books and other swag.

A close-up of the table showing three plastic kettles, one for each Nosferatu, and the Die Laughing limited edition zine.

OK, here's my info. I used a photo of "pies" I guess because I was snackish and low on visual ideas. Portraits of George Folger Canfield do exist but I'd have to request permission & am not presently in the mood to talk to a university. If you have any information (Robert Stack voice), let me know.

You have to love people in need more than you hate the other side, even when the other side is full of malice. You have to want progress more than you want vindication of a world view or the intoxication of self-righteousness. Otherwise, it's not activism--just ego.

Got reviewed in the FT and the Times, otherwise the silence has been deafening, as they say. Which is peculiar, for the most important sequence of books of the 21st century so far. Ours is not to reason why, boats against the current, the horror, the horror, etc.

If you don’t shine you are darkness.

Charles Wright, from Sestets

Tomorrow

The metaphysics of the quotidian was what he was after:
A little dew on the sunrise grass,
A drop of blood in the evening trees,
a drop of fire.

If you don't shine you are darkness.
The future is merciless,
everyone's name inscribed
On the flyleaf of the Book of Snow.

// poem on the page from Charles Wright’s book Sestets, stack of books above (LeVine’s FORMS Whole, Rhythm, Hierarchy, Network
CECELIA WATSON’s SEMICOLON

She also said solar energy is bad because sometimes, we have night, and wind is bad because sometimes there isn’t a breeze.

That a single person might vote for her is an indictment of our educational systems.

This is nothing more than a continuation of the president’s desperate weaponization of our justice system.

I am sad about the world. I had some kind of panic coughing fit at the grocery store (I don't have asthma) and had to drink juice while standing in line and now am lying down in bed. But this is preparation, because if I didn't care about anything, I couldn't write.

Is there a better indication of how superficial and unhelpful mainstream media has become than that they are cutely musing about whether the domestic terrorist who changed "The Department of Defense" to "The Department of War" will get a Nobel Peace Prize—instead of reporting the fascism/terrorism.

I wrote about the bizarrely credulous way the New York Times’ flagship podcast “The Daily” presented Russell Vought, how it is indicative of blind spots and fallacies that undermine the public response to Trumpism - and what we actually need to understand about this dangerous man:

Thomas Zimmer @thomaszimmer.bsky.social · 1d

We need to talk about Russell Vought – But Properly

Why certain mainstream outlets insist on sanitizing Vought as a devout “small government” conservative – and what actually animates his war against pluralistic democracy.

Oh shit, ANTIFA is suiting up

From the sound of music. Seven children stand in a line inside a grand house, wearing identical light blue sailor-style uniforms with dark collars, neckties, and knee socks. They are arranged from tallest to shortest, standing at attention on a patterned rug with a staircase and ornate wall paneling behind them.
