"Maybe this May will be the last of the bad months, before things start to get better." A feature-length documentary by me and @freydonia (collectively @nomediaco) of a dilated moment, not so long ago, that our bodies are maybe beginning to forget?

I am so excited for this. I love it when the truly good and brilliant people—and Ted is both—get the New Yorker bylines they've always deserved.

@craigmod Fine for me on multiple g accounts. Which is not the same as “just you”.

@anne_theriault Last work trip there I just booked the downtown Novotel on like agoda or something. It was totally fine, well located and not crazy pricy. Like, nothing thrilling but it did the job.

Oof but the tears this has me in. “Despite what is being transmitted to us 24 hours a day, every day, you can actually be strong and kind at the same time; those qualities are not mutually exclusive. You can look for beauty and love and put that out in the world.”

@TM_Brown Thanks Ted! It turned out a lovely beast.

So proud of this. So excited it's done. You can buy, if you'd like!

@disquiet Also needs the most brutal: “Ok.”

The previous image is real. This one is me just taking it to its natural next step.

Working on this book over the past many years has been such a joy – so excited to hear the thrum of the presses getting ready to roll... Can't wait to get it into the world!

No better timing than my inevitable COVID weekend coinciding with the surprise release of Bosch: Legacy

"Russell’s art accepts the mutual struggle; it’s at peace with the unholdability of longed-for things and the is-ness of what is. It elevates me, lifts me out of bad habits of mind, and helps me to meet the world on its own terms..." @alexmolotkow 🔥🔥 crushmaterial.substack.com/p/on-arthur-ru…

@madelaine_lucas I did not expect “cleanskin” to trigger such a specific missing/longing!

Is there anything more revealing than the copy editor’s style guide for your novel?

@JeremyTiang @pollyfmbarton @LiverightPub I read this in the Fitzcarraldo edition - really liked it a lot!

@ibogost In Australia we called it a schluck-schluck. I guess they had accents.

@theflowingsky And so this is Figma, I hope you have fun…

@briansholis @marvis_music Wow. I stopped scrobbling years ago but I love it so much that it’s apparently settled into some sort of quiet new ongoing utility? Must revisit.

This has been an excellent project to work on, excited it's out and getting attention - more to say on it later, but Michèle's got all the good reading in this thread...
