@anecdoted @GlueWear @rsnous It started out as a discussion of Kornbluth & Pohl's "The Space Merchants" and then wandered off track badly. There was at some point video on the web: the URL would be here: https://t.co/q84OostUCP – there's a good chance that's in the Wayback Machine somewhere.

@DianeMehta They're not hard to find!

@ClbyChamberlain There's a torn piece of a translation of Lacan on the cover of this: https://t.co/RNO1lS1uPW – and the back of this: https://t.co/yuRh4M466q seems like it's a riff on Duchamp's rejected cover for Vogue?

@FrankPasquale You might try UNDER THE NET, her first one? It reads a lot like a pastiche of Raymond Queneau, but I found it an easier entryway than the others, for whatever reason.

Stuff was said, by me apparently. "In the United States, the life of poetry is small presses." https://t.co/ZZiPUjfy6x

@J_Zuckerman @sharmavaibhav__ Thais also use "farang" to refer to white people; the etymology of this is debated, though the argument is made that it's from "Frank" or "French", who would have been in the area. See also "gringo," though that's not quite what you're looking for: https://t.co/awoL7z1QPw

Blusky isn't wonderful, but at least it isn't suing the ADL:
