But I goofed up. Spaced. Did not choose my extremely overpriced contractually obligated CD on time. And so Pearl Jam’s 10 arrived in the mail, the CD of the month. Or whatever. And I was on the hook to pay for it. Lame. Tim's eulogy for Columbia House: www.bruisermag.com/kabara_weird...

I still delight in the radio. It can and should be free to hear for anyone with a transistor. When it works its charms on me, chance and the moment play into hearing a transmission, a letter received. @timkabara.bsky.social In Praise of IN THE PIT WITH IZZI BAVIS: www.bruisermag.com/kabara_weird...

My 1990s friends were quick to groan; “Dude, why buy the single? You already have that song!” My retort was swift. “But, dude… what about the B-sides?” This week @timkabara.bsky.social flips over a 1993 single from Baltimore's CANDY MACHINE: www.bruisermag.com/kabara_weird...

If you are at all interested in Providence, Fort Thunder, the intersection of fine art and comics, beautiful drawings, urban exploration, or boats, I hope you'll read this, the piece I've done for The Comics Journal I am most proud of and excited about. Contains large images, best read on desktop

Marie Lorenz: Nautical Milemarker - The Comics Journal

Brian Nicholson tracked down and talked to one of the lesser-known Paper Rodeo contributors about comics, sculpture, water and exploration.

It made sense, of course. Punk shows should be held at the skatepark. @timkabara.bsky.social returns to Anything for a Weird Life with RIP AND RUN: A BALTIMORE PUNK ROCK SKATE PARK STORY: www.bruisermag.com/kabara_weird...

I was there teaching. Most teachers said "Do not cite Wikipedia!" I said, "Hey look at this detailed trail to the sources towards the bottom of each page." Students turned in verbatim wiki passages uncited regardless.

May you one day be the one who runs gets the gas can filled so that the generator show can happen 5 hours late so that punk youth can continue to form meaningful connections across subcultural spaces. And may you be cheered by said punk youth as you return. And may they compliment your t-shirt.

Yes. Today. The sofa has arrived. The one that is the culmination of the promise of our nation's founding.

An add for a sofa that implies the promise of the ideals of this nation's founding have finally been achieved through its manufacture and sale.

I live more in the world of punk rock weirdos than maybe the book world in which you speak. I think part of the pain of being first is that lack of recognition. You blaze trails, blowtorch recognized forms, refuse to settle, do amazing work constantly (from my perspective). It is not the easy way.
