Ladies and varmints, come one & all to what critics are calling “the most compelling ferret opera in recent memory.” Join us in the high desert for this cowpunk fantasia of my pre-selling book, BACKVALLEY FERRETS: ugapress.org/book/978082036… @UGAPress

@finedayforabeer Interesting to meet a donor! My first reaction was major skepticism about the provenance of the stickers and latrinalia and other paraphernalia—especially given how recently the museum had opened. But imported/crowdsourced is a happy middle ground.

@Law_Is_Len @FourthGenre @NOFXband Was lucky enough to be at both Boston shows a month ago, but really wanted to be in L.A. How was the museum? Haven't been, but donated about 2 (compact) carloads of stuff. Not much of major note, but curious if any of it made the cut as background decor…

Here are snippets from an essay in @FourthGenre – a journal of literary nonfiction – that gets its title from @NOFXband's "Timmy The Turtle." Because NOFX functions equally as dumb music for dumb people and smart music for smart people. NOFX is for all of us. Thank you, NOFX.

So…@Law_Is_Len (of the tortoise essay that took its title from a @NOFXband lyric) wrote a book about the black-footed ferret, turned it into a musical…and I only ever hear what I want to hear, but I hear shades of NOFX's "The Idiots Are Taking Over." youtube.com/watch?v=CNqB6J…

‘the protests are robbing my Columbia students of listening to John Cage’s 4’33, the piece of music that is explicitly designed to force you to listen to…what’s around you.’ absolutely perfect

The new executive director is canceling the strategic planning process launched by the interim, which was an update to the former ED’s plan, so that he can commence on his own process with a consultant of his own choosing.

@JohannesGoranss This reminds me of Kawabata’s Snow Country… he regarded his palm-of-the-hand version superior to the novel that (essentially) won him the Nobel. Does literary culture celebrate brevity in prose and bloat in poetry? Is it any different in industry?
