@jackietrackmarx Whenever I tell people how much I love it they’re perplexed. They’re even more perplexed when I tell them that Finnegans Wake is my favorite book at the moment

Here's a couple paintings I really like, All Saints Day I and All Saints Day II by Wassily Kandinsky. I have the second one on the wall in my bathroom :)

@CHRISF0GLE Part of me hopes this true, but I also love my pseudo-moptop hair too much to get an actually longer style

If it says anything, I think actual *modernism,* as in the movement before postmodernism, is very popular among young people nowadays! But that might just be the people I hang out with as a literature student lol

[Bret van den Brink @BretVDB]

Has Postmodernism ended yet?

@slowmiracle @funkentechno @AvocadoHands Which is odd considering his music really isn’t that alienated from his contemporaries… at least I think so!

@piperocktheory @slowmiracle Also I doubt when people say they hate musicals they mean things like Very Warm for May. They usually mean stuff like Evita or something, which aren’t great in my opinion

life's not a paragraph And death i think is no parenthesis
(e. e. cummings. today is his day)

[兔兒神 @chenchenwrites]

Everyone (including me) always highlights the lines, "Let everything happen to you: beauty and terror. / Just keep going. No feeling is final." But today I keep going back to the later lines, "Nearby is the country they call life. / You will know it by its seriousness."

@RobertAllenPoet Sometimes I think it’s the best poem ever written

[Lewis the Light @LewistheLight1]

I really just love cheap jazz albums, give me your Gary Burton & Ralph Towner ecms, your Hubert Laws & George Benson CTIs, your Zoot Sims & Oscar Peterson Pablos, your Herb Ellis & Gene Harris Concords, give me all your 70s & 80s reissues w horrible alternate artwork. I’ll listen
