I'm joining the war on slop with cheap, fast flyer commissions. If you know someone who is asking the computer for event posters, tell them to ask me instead. Get the guarantee!

A poster mocked up as if it was offset printed in black and red roughly 60 years ago. The header reads "AVAILABLE NOW! FLYERS DESIGNED BY A HUMAN BEING!" and the subsequent text is pitching $50 flyer designs with a "SLOP-FREE GUARANTEE," incorporating some vintage Henry Volk clipart of people looking at a poster and saying how well it reflects on the event organizer.

If you were a bot would you tell me that you were a bot?

I feel like it's important to have daily contact with non-humans. Dogs, yes, cats, yes, but also plants--especially catci--urns or whatever, the glass on windows. Be aware of the furniture you're sitting in. Make a note of the things you touch, and how it feels to touch them.

There are a lot of ways to be online, but I am convinced that this is the way we should cultivate and cherish. Being earnest and open to positivity is an active practice that enriches all of our lives.

I started watching DTF ST LOUIS (b/c Emmy-curious) and I'm feeling that the tone is slightly gamey and off for me.

Just saw Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma and really loved it. There’s a breezy joyfulness like a pleasant shroom trip—and Gillian Anderson photographs welll

Someone should write a story about a curséd device, lusted after as a transformative source of power, that renders its users unnaturally youthful long beyond their time

We’re all being punished because a bunch of unattractive billionaires are mad they can only buy the faux respect of sycophants, and not real cultural influence.

I made a title card for my new book. I guess it's a way to make it feel real. Even though I've written eight books now, it's still weirdly hard to believe that I could ever finish another one. It seems impossible. A penny dropped in the wishing well.

I am pleased to learn that Sam Irby likes my novel

i spent all goddamn day yesterday at the emergency vet with our cat cocoa (she’s fine) but i knew from experience that i was gonna be there all goddamn day, so i acted accordingly and brought a book. the book i brought? one of us by dan chaon, and IT FUCKING RIPS. what a great book. it’s about a pair of orphaned mind-reading killer twins in the 1910s who join a traveling carnival, and that’s all i’m gonna say.

"The circus seemed like a very particular metaphor for American life: the dream of escaping and being special, alongside the pressure to conform and not be a 'freak.'" Dan Chaon speaks with Sanjena Sathian about his new novel, "One of Us." lareviewofbooks.org/article/blambus…
