Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 18/07/2026great book. Depressing how constant colonial racism has been right up to today. It’s one of those books like tristram shandy that would be labeled post-modernist today and is especially modern in the sense that it has little essays and histography in between jokes and meta-fiction 000
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 05/07/2026alert, we got some zombie cat action going on here 010
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 23/06/2026a good look at how violence changes a movement asymmetrical warfare is never just but it’s probably most brutal when it’s a guerrilla war within the same towns and cities. can you fight a just war in this way? a lot to think about 110
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Very depressing. Written in the 80s and we’re in the exact same place making the exact same mistakes with the exact same discourse. Except now, the Palestinians have been genocided from gaza 100
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 17/06/2026What are we doing? I don’t get why people can’t just like the fascist writer. Like, Mishima has a different reading for queer people, I get that but trying to absolve him of fascism just isn’t it 110
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 03/06/2026guy who cant name anyone in the 20th c sociological canon 110
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 01/06/2026the second one is from a book called lineups which is a bunch of list poems organised like a baseball lineup and it’s great 121
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 01/06/2026one of the lesser known new york school guys and a good one I like his more conceptual poems rather than the lyric ones 100
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 31/05/2026really reminded me of the bit in by night in chile where everyone is partying while they torture political prisoners in the cellar 100
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 30/05/2026they stole my bit! glad someone else is picking up to torch. kill your heroes, shoot the cop in your head, and abolish rejections 011
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 25/05/2026Ocampo, the great liberal, romanticising the fascist to her dying day 000
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 25/05/2026None of this is new though, mfw people defend Celine 100
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 22/05/2026annoying guy decides to start over, ironically, in the most annoying guy way possible 000
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 22/05/2026this bit reminded me of your writing @flakwolves.su 110
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 22/05/2026Shards of god by Ed Sanders. It‘s like voltaire if he was a yippie or the lead singer of the fugs Purely a product of the counter-culture mixing aliens, the CIA, communism, cartoon sex, occult maxims, prayers to Malcom X, etc. etc. 100
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 20/05/2026There’s too much to say in a bsky post. my politics are anti-clerical but I have a higher tolerance for catholic cranks than outright fascists. People call me a hater but when I criticise reactionary and fascist writing, I’ve put in the work, I read everything I criticise. i need a trash break 110
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 13/05/2026always liked how bolano subtly describes espinoza as a madrid fascist who attended the spanish version of campo hobbit where they larped as wandervogel 010
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 10/05/2026By what means can we bring about the conversion we so earnestly desire?' The last two sentences had occurred in one of Pankaj Rai's speeches. 'By the sword, Mr Biswas said. "The only thing. Conversion by the sword.' 110
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 10/05/2026the pretentious line would be that this is a great example of guattari’s minor literature but it’s strength is it’s funny and about failure which is the only kinds of books worth reading 110
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 10/05/2026my stupid roommate is back, putting her stupid butt on everything 😌 010
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 03/05/2026Emile “blood is good for the crops” Zola going full folk horror 011
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 30/04/2026speaking of asinine, check out this man who fell to earth with a bowie low cover I found today 010
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 30/04/2026this shit has to be the most asinine way to talk about books 010
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 28/04/2026a poem by the patron saint of situationist trash poets mario santiago papasquiaro 000
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 26/04/2026I hate books like this because I’ve lived it and it’s not very fun being reminded of a life of poverty, drink, and violence but brian nelson did an amazing translation that keeps the humour alive. I’ve read 2 other translations of the assonmoir and this one is the best 120
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 24/04/2026I mean, we can’t even talk about brodernistas and big dumb meme books without people losing it we‘re a long way away from being able to talk about how bestsellers are not organic 010
Bibiano O’Ryan @mbundo.bsky.social · 24/04/2026jealous, I’ve always wanted to read spanish so I can read linh’s novel 110
