"The religious parallel is clear: both plerosis (filling) and kenosis (purging) must be achieved before reaching God. Paul Cunningham decrypts the cubes, only to uncover a 'flesh of code' and a 'cryptography of open pores' that cannot be wormed through" #Brillo www.lavenderink.org/site/shop/br...

Equal parts exercise and exorcism, #AncientAlgorithms recasts translation as an endlessly generative art form unto itself. Katrine Øgaard Jensen mistranslates, rewrites, and remixes her award-winning translations of Ursula Andkjær Olsen’s poetry! www.sarabandebooks.org/all-titles/p...

We are driving good people to the limits of their very being. For what? For "whoppers"? A sandwich that contains 911 mg of sodium. The American Heart Association recommends no more than 1,500 mg of sodium per day. America is a death cult. youtu.be/Xz2HDtROMvs?...
