Trying to explain any of this to my dad would be funny. "And then I confronted the Paris Review at a prestigious literary conference, and a guy from the Pulitzer Prize bought the magazine, and the New Yorker, New York Times, and Fast Company grilled me about what I was doing good cop bad cop style"

To answer the most common question--yes, they are very aware and monitor the situation closely. A literary magazine of short fiction and poems that bleeds money is one of the 87 entities which Daddy Taco chooses to follow alongside celebrities, NFL players, and its global partners

I cropped out Aaron Burch from the original photo because he makes look even more self-loathing. I enjoy how we write about similar subjects of nostalgia and share an approach to making art for fun, except I hate myself and want to die, and he's super chill

Another thing to add to your AWP calendar. I'm on a panel with some fantastic writers and editors! It's my bad I never updated my dead name, but I think that's the secret reason they approved the panel with me on it! Michelle doesn't seem too threatening! Bro, she was fucking nuts

The Paris Review is in the Epstein Files! It was first started by the CIA as a propaganda tool! They cannot acknowledge the Taco Bell Quarterly because they would have to acknowledge they're built on an inherently evil and rotten foundation.
