Jeg er i Ålesund på matinéforestilling, med omtrent 30 år opp til nest yngste publikummer. De serverer svele og kaffe i baren og det aller meste (i alle fall en del) er godt her i verden.

Happening right now: BWV 1178 and BWV 1179!
(Bach compositions with BWV numbers as high as this are typically highly unstable and decay rapidly, releasing fugal radiation in the process. Catch them before it happens.)

“Queer theory…is in its flop era.” My review of Kay Gabriel’s PERVERTS is out today in @thebaffler.com. Kay’s book is a funny and true antidote to the cheap sentiment of bad queer discourse, a reckoning with sex/gender as pleasure center and system requiring defeat. thebaffler.com/latest/we-wa...
