My image of a communist came from a cartoon. We are taught at such an early age to be against the communists, yet most of us don’t have the faintest idea what communism is. Only a fool lets somebody else tell him who his enemy is. Assat Shakur

...all the while the great tide of daylight was ebbing away from all they looked at and pouring through the holes in their faces into a profound darkness...if the visible world was anywhere, it was somewhere in that darkness–an island lapped by the boundless ocean of the invisible. Murnane/Inland

We object to the conflation of the S with the T & E in STEM (See technệ, epistệmệ). The sciences engage us in the world and our lives therein. Technology disengages. The S belongs with the A (Arts & Sciences). The T & E can have the M. And as far as throwing us a bone with STEAM. No thank you.

Immense gratitude to @bdralyuk.bsky.social for his kindness and generosity. One is almost embarrassed to share such words about one's own work. www.saggingmeniscus.com/catalog/glos... @saggingmeniscus.bsky.social
“Is the experimental impulse a virtue in itself? Perhaps. I feel more confident in asserting that experimentation grows in virtue if pursued not only with talent and skill, not only with a great deal of knowledge, not only with evident joy, but also with a love of the material in its initial form. By these standards, Eric T. Racher is a virtuoso of the literary experiment; indeed, he is a virtuoso by any measure. In his hands, the sonnet does things it has never done before, over and over, yet does not suffer, does not break down under pressure. One moves from entry to entry, ever more eagerly exclaiming, ‘O heart us then and rhyme us!’”

Packing for a visit to Oberfranken and realizing I'm bringing an A-list crew of Bluesky translators along @wordkunst.bsky.social @unpaginated.bsky.social @dances-with-voles.bsky.social @genesegrill.bsky.social
Cute red paperbacks on a black and white herringbone cloth. Titles include Logbook of Giannozzo the Balloonist by Jean Paul (tr. David Dollenmayer), Biographical Recreations from the Cranium of a Giantess by Jean Paul (tr. by Genese Grill and anon), Maria Wutz by Jean Paul (tr. by Francis & Rose Storr and Ruth Martin), and Two Stories by Jean Paul (tr. by Alexander Booth and Matthew Spencer). These gorgeous books are from the Empyrean Series by Sublunary Editions. A sliver of a yellow German-English dictionary peeks out on the right.

"The crowd in the car was so dense, it pressed me against the doors. I had a claustrophobic attack, with the wide open Bahnhofstrasse gliding behind me. That horrendous crush, and my uncontrollable panic, compelled me to reflect for the first time on the concept of space."

it's unfair to characterize Ayn Rand as being indifferent to the plight of the poor - she actually wanted to murder and dismember them (am reading Lisa Duggan's Mean Girl) that Christian icon was an ideological Marquis de Sade (without the wit/talent)
