Peggy Lou just played this utter wonder on WWOZ. I first heard it via @tavfalco.bsky.social decades ago. Delightful in every iteration. 🔥 #musasky #musicsky

Saw SENTIMENTAL VALUE. An exceptionally well-crafted and acted film that holds your attention, but which felt more like an exercise in (and about) filmmaking than a genuine masterpiece. I liked the experience of watching it very much, but it didn't really move me. #FilmSky #JoachimTrier

Here's a song I wrote a decade ago while overdosing on Tompall Glaser, @ttexed.bsky.social and other outlaws. The title references Robert Sabbag & lyrics try to evoke a full-length novel in its verses. There was a slight chance Ramblin' Jack Elliott may've been interested in it. Alas, unrecorded.

Been a minute from the previous one, and a #shelfie always tells more about the person than a selfie does. For one, I probably could have some kind of order in mine besides height, right? 🤔📚 #booksky

One of the great modern rock songs by... ladies, fish and gentle men: Café Tacvba. In my minds' eye I imagine this to be the musical version of that lost Larry Cohen film "The Apparatus..." 😎🛸 #musasky #cafetacuba #filmsky #LarryCohen

Reminder that the word “homeowner” is the only English word with the word “meow” in it (except for all the different derivations of “meow” like “meowing” etc of course).

Good luck not reading homeowner as ho-meow-ner from now on.

So.... spent the day installing a refrigerator and designing a line of upcoming Octavia Butler translations. Gotta balance the great with the mundane. 👀 #booksky #coverdesign

I knew it wasn't just the progressive politics why I like her. Swearing in on Parable of the Sower would be the coolest move ever...
As many of you know, I adore sci-fi for so many reasons, but especially because it depicts a world beyond the one we have now.

I talked to @jamesfolta.com at Lit Hub about it late last year but I’m always looking for new recs: lithub.com/congressiona...
