@MatthewSitman First time I encountered LitC was via a seminar with the incomparable Bill Wilson down on Seabrook Island and it was like Percy had peered right into my depressed/repressed teen soul. A wild experience

@MatthewSitman Arguably the single most important paragraph in my life to date.

[Doug Stephens IV @DougStephensIV]

The southern renascence generations were an unusual example of reactionary formalism Also being an expression of subaltern subversion and much of the enduring value in that tradition comes from that inherent contradiction

[Nat Purser @NatPurser]

genuine q: what was it about the 20s to 60s in the South that brought about a golden age of formally ambitious, enduring literature — carson mccullers, william faulkner, flannery o connor, tennessee williams, harper lee, eudora welty, etc.

@Nicholas_Olson Right now I'm going to say The New World (Malick), Mishima (Schrader), Mirror (Tarkovsky), and Until the End of the World (Wenders). Always in flux!

Damn, I wasn't ready for how this would feel. We didn't have a camcorder, so there's no video of me with my mom. I dropped one of my favorite photos of us in midjourney as 'starting frame for an AI video' and wow... This is how she hugged me. I've rewatched it 50 times.

@PastorAndyWebb The quoted advice is very clearly advice on how /to/ legally cooperate with ICE, and your characterization is so far from the truth as to likely risk civil liability. I'm not your lawyer, but if I were I would be strongly advising you to take this down.

Extra thigh in my Bojangles two-piece

@ustadh_dragoman That's fair lol just felt the need to warn in case the actual danger wasn't already known

[Doug Stephens IV @DougStephensIV]

@ustadh_dragoman These aren't Lutherans these are literal Nazis (Achord as well as the Antelope Hill press discussed in replies)

[Doug Stephens IV @DougStephensIV]

@kisstheblade_ He really said

They got sounds never before heard by human ears in the Philadelphia airport men's room

@ustadh_dragoman We crap a lot on disenchantment theory but it was a bit shocking to meet Odin's own familiar and realize he's a digital native

[Doug Stephens IV @DougStephensIV]

@ustadh_dragoman I met a wild raven on a glacier in Iceland that would constantly make the iPhone camera sound because that's how it thought humans said hello

[Doug Stephens IV @DougStephensIV]

I think it's kinda cool that we just have a White House mascot now. He's like our Chiitan

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

📸 How cool is this? The popular TikTok account Life on Film invited President Biden to snap some photos on a disposable camera—both at the White House and across the country. The results are awesome.

Take a look! 👇👇👇👇
