It should really only take 2 people to set me afloat on a raft made of wood pallets with a sparkler up my ass
I don’t know who needs to hear this but all the followers and likes in the world won’t amount to a single additional mourner at your funeral.

moral desperado ...
“highly controversial, variously regarded as sage and impious, a moral leader, a moral desperado, a radical, a conservative, a Christian… an emblem of the complexity, contradiction, and sometimes absurdity of the era”

The Knicks are doing well so this does not have to be a full time Laszlo K. fan account ... not yet anyway.
I've read one of his books that I picked up used and it was the second best thing I've read this year.

This reminds me that, like, once or twice a year I think about reading Spenser before I remember that it's a thousand pages long

This has brought up a question I actually don't know - when did the specific form "the fae" become so popular in English?
OED has "Faerie" going back to Spenser, "fey" as "fairylike" in 1823, and there's obviously "Morgan le Fay" from French, but can't find much for "the fae" til quite recently!
