When I was at NYU I acquired Mary’s papers for the Downtown Collection. They are an absolute trove and it makes me happy to see them informing this great interview!

Meet The Downtown Archive: a brand-new series with Ada Calhoun as series editor, dedicated to the counter-cultural creativity that shaped NYC below 14th Street from the early 20th century into the 21st. Plus a behind-the-scenes peek at what Ada keeps in her own personal NYC archive!

When we say "no, everything hasn't been digitized," I need you to understand that we really mean is that virtually nothing has been digitized. This is because the realm of primary sources that historians use is incomprehensibly large.

I remember at a family wedding a few years back folks learning about my work and asking “isn’t everything just NFTs now?” A completely absurd thing to assume. Those same folks today bring up AI every time I see them

This is such a beautiful piece by @oneillbooks.bsky.social on the David Wojnarowicz / Rimbaud exhibition at Leslie Lohman. I’ve been terrified of seeing my name come up in reviews of the incredible catalogue I contributed to, so this is doubly pleasing 4columns.org/o-neill-davi...

Mourning the passing of trailblazing TV producer Joe Lovett, the first network producer to spotlight the AIDS crisis with urgency and empathy. It was humbling and enlightening to get to know Joe and learn about his staggering career over the past several years. www.nytimes.com/2025/08/06/b...
