Nothing. And little from the press too because what press do we have?

Want to join our club?

I guess it’s time to get out.

Write op-eds, blogs, slogans, manifestos. Get out, march, organize. Join movements. Think harder about the content of your work, but also the form. Aesthetics can be revolutionary at the best, provocative at the least. 2/2

I love watching booksellers champion that don’t fall on best seller lists. It’s my personal goal to always read beyond what’s popular in the mainstream.

Excited for Sottile’s new book!

Curious about Poor Deer, besides the fact that their writing is awesome. Did you read Chouette?

I have a subtle fear of rays and we sat for a long time watching them from all angles of a 60k gallon tank so that I could realize their beauty.

Oooooh go to Seattle’s new aquarium addition.

Oh today is the day.

Thanks Stu!
