A dim, dim, dim brown tabby cat perched on a chair looking for a nonexistent bug or bird

He is pure of heart and tiny of brain.

Sometimes I want cerebral art films about inner life. Sometimes I just need Wilhelm screams, dudes picking up other dudes by the ankles and swinging them as melée weapons, variations on the St. Crispin’s Day speech, and heroes walking in slo-mo toward camera as the world blows up behind them.

one of the great strengths of hanif abdurraqib’s work is that it is grounded in talking about the things he loves & why he loves them w/incredible rigor. zero doubt that he also has the juice as a hater—he just doesn’t foreground it as his public critical practice.

I still get a kick out of how Nana Visitor's name is also a cool occupation.

Your job: to visit nanas. They insist you eat delicious food, tell you raunchy and gory stories of the men they have killed, sometimes you help them reach items on tall shelves. A perfect job.

Pending bloodwork & other labs the buddies are healthy as can be. Now they just have to re-sniff every object & surface in our home.

If Daniel stays perfectly still & keeps his eyes closed maybe the vet cannot see him
