@RealBryanKR @masonmennenga Samaritans weren’t foreigners though. They were/are descendants of Israelites who weren’t removed from their lands by the Assyrians.

03/09/25: Finished Izumi Suzuki's Set my Heart on Fire. Quick but jarring. ymmv depending on your patience for wry misanthropic narrators and/or affinity for broken little girl genre. Ambivalent about most of the book but the final few chapters are nearly perfect and devastating

[SK𓅨 @jiokhwa]

Finished "Sketches from a Hunter's Album" today. Delightful. In awe of Turgenev's prose, the deftness and seemingly simplicity with which he encapsulates the idiosyncracies of an individual. Suspect I'll be dwelling on "Pyotr Petrovich Karataev" for a while

@TBQuarterly Hey, so my partner and I are obsessed with this poem. Is there any chance that TBQ or the poet might want to sell this as a poster-sized print? We'd love to hang it on our wall and want to give you guys money.

@AskAKorean The "o" is especially distinct in the way SoCal Koreans say "ohmygod" where the cadence almost sounds like the 전라도 '오매나.

@neweyno I can't stop laughing. The audacity.

"Like, I wish her healing and all, but ..." is the most diabolically San Francisco mean girl thing I've ever heard

@clintonyates This begs the question, do you consider scramble bands to be marching bands?

@nhuyngo The only reason I didn’t actually tell you that your grandmother was beautiful was because I thought your “grandfather” looked like a smug Seth Green

[SK𓅨 @jiokhwa]

@nhuyngo ...um... I fell for this 😬 and was going to tell you that you had a beautiful grandmother

Really appreciate the completely out-of-left-field homage to The Clash on the cover of this archaeological report of Chagar Bazar

@nhuyngo I think he had to be, like how do you wear a mask and a monocle?
