Justin Stone @rusticus-est.bsky.social · 07/06/2026Maybe we shouldn’t have sent off for the Emporer. I can’t believe he came. 000
Justin Stone @rusticus-est.bsky.social · 02/04/2026Reading The School of Night (legendarily unsettling; I’m obsessed with Knausgaard’s Morning Star novels) which makes much allusion to Marlowe, followed by Dark Renaissance, Greenblatt’s rich new Marlowe book, is DELICIOUS. 000
Justin Stone @rusticus-est.bsky.social · 16/03/2026Want to congratulate Eddie and the Cruisers on a huge Oscars win! Well deserved. I think we’re finally ready for *A Season In Hell.* Gen X white dudes came of age at the Palace of Depression, made plans to disappear. 010

Justin Stone @rusticus-est.bsky.social · 29/12/2024A lovely request: repost from a now defunct site: I introduced my mom to Gene Clark’s music. Before moving, she would visit his grave (in his mid-Missouri hometown one hour from ours) to clean up and share care. 100
Justin Stone @rusticus-est.bsky.social · 29/12/2024I love the novel. Endlessly inventive, inquisitive, and discursive. Consciousness and the dream and the drifting word. Jesse Ball’s a master and The Repeat Room left me shaken, unsettled, the world new and newly familiar. 100

Justin Stone @rusticus-est.bsky.social · 25/11/2024@achyguts.bsky.social I was reading another great postcard to my kids (not interested), thinking about what a terrible correspondent I’ve been, and then you appear. Thank you! Take me to Ireland… 200
