if you think close reading is a “rare” practice you do not know what happens in countless girls’ group chats every day

many have dogpiled florence, but few have mentioned literature as a space for the formalization of mystery: a space in which the word, like christ, is both here and there.

Okay so being 100% sincere for the moment, I get the idea that art conveys experiences in a really deep and useful way, and it’s been instructive to me that most people are appealing to that in replying to the above. But at other times I hear people speaking of learning actual truths from art, and not just truths of the form “This is what it would be like if…,” and that’s what I still do not comprehend

Closest digital-age spiritual successor is Homestuck. Antagonistic, trolling creator; hyper-genre-savvy dumping the whole kitchen sink of tropes, references, and a Gordian knot of internal lore; insane readership that largely got one-shot by parasocial engagement with the author’s creative madness; thinly-veiled authorial fetishes via extensive post-ironic lampshade-hanging

Featuring high-flying criticism–of Marcel Proust, D. H. Lawrence, and Miriam Makeba–as well as fiction, and poetry as cool and intimate as a frozen water bottle on a high summer day.
