which josh are you?

I’ll also be here this week.

I do most of my yapping on radio and substack these days.

the academy feels very dead to me.

the black composition diary, note #1 music is just one of those things that a bomb cannot stop.

anyway, what's good, yall? I forget this app exists...

I have really bad news for those with short attention spans.

people who take my critique of disciplinarity to be a personal attack on them/their discipline so easily prove the point of my critique.

Sometimes you should just shut more of the fuck up.

Jazz writing whatever that means at any given point is allergic to long form.

Sharing some news:

I have received a Macdowell and a VCCA fellowship for my new book Black Composition.

I still find that writing is the balm. Even in this age. If you’d like to help defray some of the small travel expenses please DM me for my cashapp/Venmo info. Thank you!

Hi skeeters. Bye skeeters.

Amanopour just repeated Mariame’s “hope is a discipline” on air.

🙃

I be forgetting about the skeeters.

I’m in tears.

And the way they all keep recommending PE’s James but not a single one can say anything about the book.

I mentioned this to a bookstagrammer and they responded that my algorithm shouldn’t be showing me their content since it’s for fiction writers.

lol what

“Sir, we are banning you from every nfl stadium for life.”

Me: thanks?

I am so glad I am of a generation who doesn’t feel the need to support whatever white supremacists hate. That burden must feel heavy.

None whatsoever.

Be for fucking real. Just say you happy about rap beef.

You can’t reimagine no fuckin American flag. We’ve been through this.

Praying for the safety of every last New Orleans resident tomorrow in what is going to be an "unprecedented" police and military presence at the Super bowl. Particularly praying for everyone with the courage in the current climate to go to this demonstration. **Thank you.**

We are in a great age of music but people keep distracting me with pop.

Why does the Eaton hotel smell like vomit right now

I want everyone who experiences that gloom around publishing their book and seeing it out in the world for the first to trust their former selves. You did the work.
