Your 20s are the best years of your life.

Me in my 20s:

@TLiterarian was having this convo with a fellow aspiring-writer friend recently. editorial resources are intrinsic to great literature & independent presses often don’t have the capital to invest like the big houses once did.

[kavanorama @kavanorama]

totally forgot I bought this (or even why) when it arrived today. time to jump in blind…

[kavanorama @kavanorama]

@BarryPierce I somehow managed to do both & found the best vintage miu miu purse

@HilariousB82995 I am critiquing and disputing the concept of ‘brodernism.’ I was at the book launch for war & war when I was barely out of my teens. the idea that this is a by/for men arena is like ewww lame

[kavanorama @kavanorama]

ok maybe I’m most annoyed at ‘brodernism’ because it invents the idea that women are excluded from literary translation, while also implying that challenging avant garde literature is somehow beyond our reach as readers or writers

[kavanorama @kavanorama]

invoking the gender war to frame a critique that otherwise wouldn’t quite stand up on its own legs… lazy. especially when the piece has nothing to say about women.

[Federico Perelmuter @cementeriocc]

Wrote for @LAReviewofBooks about what I’m calling “Brodernism,” a certain mode of critical engagement with “difficult” or “avant garde” literature that’s mostly fetish and nostalgia, and why Krasznahorkai’s latest is boring. Link below.

THE BEAST & it’s not even close.

What is the best Lynchian movie not directed by David Lynch?

[kavanorama @kavanorama]

@Greg_Gerke interested but dms are closed.

@itchio I’ve been emailing for weeks about trying to get a $99.99 refund after a developer blocked me from using an asset I purchased simply for mentioning chatgpt offhand in their discord (it made them very angry). How can I get a reply/refund from support?

[kavanorama @kavanorama]

@CrownDigitalz stupid question but are these b&w, or just extraordinarily moody lighting?

[kavanorama @kavanorama]

@IneluctableQuak I think only descriptions. I always wanted to read Bifurcaría Bifurcata.

Holy Motors (2012)

Imagine being woken up at 4 a.m. by cars honking at each other. That's what some San Francisco residents have been dealing with for weeks, as the Waymos can be heard in this video honking and blinking headlights in a parking lot outside of their condo. https://t.co/2cVmDfUk4i

@AndrosSpica hi there! maybe I can help? (been looking for digital archaeology volunteering ops and stumbled on this, so I’m probably missing context 😅)

[kavanorama @kavanorama]

@techgirl1908 @tiffani Something particularly excruciating about the fact most of those 👱🏻‍♂️ replies are junior bootcamp grads still tweeting about interviewing for their first job. Yet so confident about the experiences of women who are years of knowledge ahead of them. The insecurity is dialed to 11.

Oh God the stupidity, the ugliness, the darkness, the loneliness and the cruelty of this beastly little place.
