thoughtful review by Samantha Ellis for the TLS
“It feels extraordinary to be reviewing now, in 2025, a new book of ten poems by Charlotte — astounding not only that they have not been published before, but also that they have never been transcribed or photographed”

Just naked and brazen corruption. All states represented by Democrats in the Senate.

Time to stiffen our spines and demand that we only fund a government that obeys the law.

* an Avram Davidson word, which he traces to bonanza and the Sydney Ducks, a California Gold Rush era gang in a neighborhood of San Francisco ; my Australian friends tell me bonza is regular usage, meaning : excellent
/ the OED doesn't trace it back as far as 1849

friends with large accounts, I'm not going to pester you personally but just generally speaking, I would sure appreciate a signal boost on this thing. We seem to have leveled out, and since this is a one-shot (won't be in bookstores) I'd like to get it out there as much as possible.

Twentieth game of the year, final of the regular season, my 27th in these seats. I’ll probably make it for at least one playoff game, but even so I brought a book and came early today so I could just enjoy being here a while longer. Winter ain’t short.

Play ball. Let’s go, Cards.

I collect only words : the books on the shelves are merely tools and ore and tailings, so I’m sure I’m fine

I mostly collect books, having given up on expanding my robot hord, so I'm sure I'm fine.

www.nature.com/articles/d41...
In 2004, neuroscientists found that some of the study participants showed what they called pathological collecting behaviour, and proposed that this behaviour was associated with damage to the mesial prefrontal cortex, a brain area involved in decision-making and the regulation of emotions and social behaviours (S. W. Anderson et al. Brain 128, 201–212; 2005). In 2019, however, Shirley Mueller — a neuroscientist and collector of Chinese porcelain — argued against such impacts of brain damage in her book Inside the Head of a Collector. Instead, she suggested, the mesial prefrontal cortex was involved in the collectors’ perception of beauty. Regardless of what underlies this compulsion, in 2013, the American Psychiatric Association added hoarding disorder to its comprehensive medical textbook Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. In 2018, the World Health Organization included the disorder in its International Classification of Diseases — although neither institution explains why people have the condition.
