I did my best to push back on my book being "trans memoir" as it's about many things, but most of all how my life was formed by labour. I got my first job @ 13. I was a journeyman Glazier @ 21. I wasn't a writer (or a trans) until my 30s. Celebrate Labour Day by reading about labour

a typo-riddled, unedited mess exemplifying the callousness of the whole project—you think long and hard before undertaking something like this, handling this material, never mind PUBLISHING it. seems like all time + effort went into book design and massive PR push

"The era of mass digitization in the 1990s-2000s has largely ended in public and private enclosures, gated behind library credentials or private firewalls. In an era when everything is presumptively digital, the analog has become a refuge for the poor and a fetish for the privileged." Is this right?

Our obvious starting point—that @manahil.bsky.social is a very fine poet—somehow failed to prepare me for how good Heliotropia is. Warm-hearted. Embracing. Meticulously crafted. Whimsical. Fantastical. Botanical. Astronomical. Sometimes verging on chant or prayer. Plus Star Trek.

Opinion: Arcade Fire announced the release of their latest album, Pink Elephant, in the most casual of ways. Every post on social media, every lyric of their newest single, is a downplay of the serious allegations against Butler. By @yaraelsoueidi.bsky.social

Opinion: Arcade Fire’s Rotten Legacy – The Rover

Arcade Fire wants you to think they can return to the spotlight without any consequences. They have yet to prove that they've made amends.
