Holy, Undead Life: An Interview with David Leo Rice — Danny Elfanbaum
David Leo Rice’s The Squimbop Condition is in many ways a culmination, a capstone on one phase of his career, and at the same time, a hint at which of the many forking paths he may travel going for…

As a part of trying to practice finishing things with some greater regularity, I have been writing posts again. This one is about "ventilated prose," and why I think it's worth considering as a tool and technique. www.bikesbooksandbullshit.com/2026/01/21/v...
Ventilated Prose as a Tool for Writing

I just dropped this 40 minute video essay on YT. I don’t have any presence there so it would mean a lot if you would watch, subscribe, share, etc. Not counting any gameplay, I probably put 40-50 hours into just the editing
i played 251 games in 2025. here's what i learned

A proposal to allow 10 stories has Paul Toner crying ‘Manhattanization’! Bro have you ever been to Manhattan? www.cambridgeday.com/2025/12/09/i...
Inman Square residents decry "Manhattanization" - Cambridge Day
New Porter Square proposals draw more muted response. An affordable housing lawsuit also drew debate at City Council meeting.

The way I can tell if an app is native or a wrapped webapp is by how fast it drains my phone battery. I know startups need speed and the convenience of a "build once, deploy anywhere" solution, but also, like, some of us are cheap and have phones whose batteries've had a "Service" status for years.
Two Page Tuesday at Charlie's Kitchen in Harvard Square tomorrow! Come join us for the reading at 7(ish) and stay for karaoke until our favorite bartender decides we've had enough and/or the Harvard Swimming Boys take over what remains of the night's queue.

what a joy, talking to @teoshannon.bsky.social for hours
The Line Break@thelinebreak.bsky.social · 10mo agoNEW EPISODE @bobsykora.bsky.social & @thecorlew.bsky.social are thrilled to welcome @teoshannon.bsky.social to show! we talk anger, disability poetics, Teo’s debut collection, and MORE! 🍎: podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/t...

I love that I couldn’t get into a Boston Book Festival event because it was already at capacity. I cannot describe how much that pleases me.
Yes, Two Page Tuesday doesn't even have an IG but the crowds are good and the work is good, as are the vibes and community. Folks really seem to like to gather together in person for art. (Also the next one is Oct 14 at The Banshee in DOT if you are local want to come check it out.)
Drew Broussard@drewsof.bsky.social · 11mo agoWe had like 50 people at last night's reading series event at Rough Draft, which we only started in March and have done zero advertising for beyond IG posts... so yeah, it seems like the vibes are good for the future of reading? Maybe?
The caps lock key leads only to unnecessary yelling and overambitious SQL and should therefore be removed permanently.
A few years ago there was this thing publishers were doing where they were top-binding certain novels/prose books like a reporter's notebook. Does anybody remember what that was called? Or have any articles about this handy?
A cool thing about cleaning your house is that when you're done the cat will vomit in the living room to make sure you didn't miss that spot.
I got tired of pasting the same stupid bio into Submittable so I made a little to-clipboard utility to make that a little faster. Also I needed a new Python project to pin to my GitHub for *reasons*. Please enjoy. github.com/delfanbaum/t... pypi.org/project/tmpl...

Sometimes things are not, in fact, what they say on the tin.
You should listen to @escapecollective.bsky.social's Wheel Talk podcast because it's awesome and the TDFF is great this year (as it is every year), but especially for the audio diaries – such a pleasure!
