@Dharma_Books will publish @criveragarza’s Spanish translation of THE DEAD GIRLS SPEAK IN UNISON (@BloofBooks ). It’s been a total honor to have so prismatically brilliant, uniquely poetic a writer carry LAS CHICAS MUERTAS and their denunciations of femicide into Spanish 🙏

@aliner There was this guy in my dorm in college who would in our little kitchen cook an entire package of hotdogs, eat them one by one from the pan, and then drink the water. For a slightly larger small fee, I will…

Thoroughly enjoyed Michiah Bay Gault’s fairytale-inflected mystery GOODNIGHT STRANGER. Hansel & Gretel, Rumplestiltskin, Snow White & Rose Red, The Little Mermaid, and Murder She Wrote, with the existential querying one expects from so lovely and great a tide mind as Gault’s!

The yew tree points up. It has a Gothic shape.
The eyes lift after it and find the moon.
The moon is my mother. She is not sweet like Mary.
Her blue garments unloose small bats and owls.
How I would like to believe in tenderness – 

Plath

@g_e_howard Just think of the number of times we probably played the same album at the same moment decades before we’d actually meet 😭
