If you value your long-term health and cognitive function, masking and protecting yourself from COVID are some of the highest ROI things you can do. I realize it’s not considered cool or fun to say this, but it’s true

"The homes in The Hungering Years accumulate as frequently as the recipients of fandom. They lead to a kind of dream-logic of accumulation and associative leap." On a book by WWB contributor @summ.bsky.social, with an intro by WWB contributor @lenakt.bsky.social.

An interesting dialogue that provokes questions of where genre comes from as much or more than questions of what it is. Does its description derive from an interpretation of observable form and tendency? Or is the naming of genre instead an *invocation* of form? lareviewofbooks.org/article/lett...

Summer, I love this so much. Let's all build action into cultural organizing. Also, this goes without saying, all of you should go read this interview and Summer's book The Hungering Years!

chronologically this is the first interview i did for the entire THY cycle, and it's sooooo interesting to see the things i was really Hoping to Do. i did Not do this but i did continue to require masks at all of my indoor events which i am grateful people agreed to!

Something I’m really hoping I follow through with on The Hungering Years tour is to reach out to Mask Blocs and clean air clubs in whatever cities I visit and invite representatives to come to whatever bookstore or space that I’m at to talk about the work that they do in mitigating spread of virus, and cleaning our air, and taking care of people, and keeping people safe. So that’s, you know, it’s just an opportunity, when I have an object and people are inviting me into spaces because of that object. What kind of world can I build within that room? People are coming to see me, theoretically, and what can I ask of them in return, outside of buying the book?
