I know not all that may be coming, but be it what it will, I’ll go to it laughing.

Little poems everywhere, in Wittgenstein, for those with eyes to see

I3S・Conversation flows on, the application and interpretation
of words, and only in its course do words have their meaning.

"He has gone away" "Why?" -What did you mean, when you
uttered the word "why"? What did you think of?

LW, Zettel

There’s a guy running for city council here on the slogan: “Empathy with restraint.”

Niche request, I know, but I’d be grateful for any info on the best Francophone bookstores, used and new, in Montreal . . . particularly shops with good film sections . . .

Vermont / New Hampshire

In the background, an enormous leering snaggletoothed hippie deity of some kind painted on a theatrical backdrop, in the foreground, stilt-walkers and audience members; at Bread and Puppet, West Glover, VT.

An array of wall-mounted security and safety devices (two black-dome cameras and a smoke detector (?)) in a local food co-op in New Hampshire, triangulated so that they resemble a pair of eyes and a nose; they have been provided with a hand-drawn toothy grin on a sheet of 8 1/2 x 11” paper. To the right, a sign reading “Probiotics”.

Whoever’s kid did this to my copy of Nicanor Parra was channeling Caspar David Friedrich

A sticker of a pensive (purple? I’m colorblind) cartoon bear standing in more humano with hands behind its back, seeming to look away from the viewer off into the space of the page to which it’s affixed, at the title printed at its head: “Poemas y antipoemas” [1954]

Mourning Fanny Howe this afternoon—please go read Night Philosophy, and One Crossed Out, and The Needle’s Eye, and everything, everything.

Dustin @theunread.bsky.social · Jul 9

I of course recommend people buy all Fanny Howe they can get their hands on, chiefly through the vital work of Nightboat, but also this beautiful book out with Divider.

Mods are asleep, post rare Barthelmes

From Donald Barthelme’s “The Genius”: “A giant brown pantechnicon disgorges the complete works of the Venerable Bede, in all translations, upon the genius's lawn—a gift from the people of Cincinnati!”

I felt an immediate and shattering sense of remorse for having extracted them from their ageless sleep. Back to your niche, little artifacts.

Found in a stair-hole at the Harvard Natural History Museum: vintage apple juice & camera flash. Surely I’m not the first visitor to have been tall and/or bored enough to shove his whole forearm beneath this particular riser since the early 1970s?
