Writing more and more flash fiction these days on Substack, so I’m looking to Japanese poetry to figure out how to get better.
Do the lovely folks at #booksky have any recs?

Is it just me, or were sitcom premises better in the 60s?

I was introduced to David Lynch a couple years ago. I forget which movie I watched first - probably Eraserhead - but my friends and I watched the Weather Report and Daily Number religiously.

He was a great filmmaker and philosopher. I’d argue no one knew how to be creative quite like him! #filmsky

I keep thinking about so-bad-it’s good art. I think there’s a bad-good canon somewhere that we don’t know about

I’m listening to Angelic 2 tha Core and thinking this over. Any suggestions?
