Who else among integrated émigré(e)s nested in🇧🇪🇨🇿🇩🇪 harvesting endemic beer hi/stories for the global #anglosphere 🇬🇧🇮🇪🇺🇸🇪🇺 have ventured writing about their home biercultuur in the adopted language of their host audience? Meine alt&neuen Belgien-Beiträge, für @arsvivendi_com.

@AndyScholes1 @fesshole Ay, there’s the rub!

I've been a paramedic a few years now and let me tell you. Old dudes dying of a heart attach in bed with beautiful ladies, never happens. But over half of our cardiac incidents are guys wanking alone in front of a screen. Might be because of the city where I work, I guess.

@John_Attridge Bartleby & Co

Writers should not publish for free. They should not publish at all. The only acceptable form of publication for a true writer is posthumous, ideally against their own express wishes

@LeaSonnegu35 Three Poems and especially The New Spirit with its infinite tracking and retracking of how will and choice can follow the cues of zest and feeling are keeping me company through the darkest fog right now.

@bartlebeer Ashbery really captures that sense of uncertainty. What’s your favorite part of his work?

Are you a man over 40 and you’re struggling right now? Just remember no one cares and it does get worse. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Poet laureate Mark Strand was rather popular with the ladies, I’m told. After a reading one night, a woman pulled him aside and said, “Mr. Strand, I want to take you back to my hotel room and **** you all night long.” Strand eyed her a moment. “What’s in it for me?” he said.

@maxdaniellawton Maximalising Daddy Bear

I have been told that my fixation with bringing all these books to you means I am a “service-top” or a “pleasure-dom.” I remain unconvinced.

@kaiserstevents @MagmaPino @AbrilWeingut @DadandBuried As in a novel the unmistakable truth of your character comes crashing through, having come to mean what it had been called on for, and meanwhile the tale itself, a bundle of incidents related to but separate and distinct from you, got up and did a dance and left. #Ashbery73

@kaiserstevents @MagmaPino @AbrilWeingut X lets me update the app but doesn’t let me log in from my old phone anymore…I guess that‘s it from me in terms of daily missives in ever darkening glass bottles - keeping it at weekly interval briefings from my double expelled dad exile from now on. #Kaiserstuhl25 #herbscht25

„Die Aufklärung ist ein Ersatz für den Protestantismus, aber ein wenig exzessiv, fast zu religiös, ohne es zu wissen. Der französische Laizismus ist zu sehr das Kind der Revolution und nicht wie in Deutschland das Resultat eines Religionsfriedens.“ #KuMu #Sloterdijk21:96 🇨🇭🇳🇱🇩🇪🇫🇷

@DrSchwamborn Die Pessoa-Schule hat im großlateinischen Kulturbereich viele Jünger/Opfer hervorgebracht.

What's the best pub or bar you've visited for the first time this year? 🗺️ 🍻 🍷 🍸🍹 🎶 🪩

@daveratkins Wasn’t able to log into Xitter for weeks, but good to see upon barging back in that #Belgozythopia as traveled by Dave is still doing fine without me. 🇧🇪👀🇬🇧👀🇩🇪

A beautiful morning here in Brussels and great meal and beer at Les Brigittines. Both the Razor Clams and the Pheasant were excellent as were the 2 Cantillon beers to accompany them.

@johnstonglenn @frederickjhayn1 „Gravitätisch“ really doesn‘t help selling it. 🇩🇪👀🇮🇪

@frederickjhayn1 Lower word count per page and heavy paper stock

Bonhams will auction copy No 1 of the first German edition of Ulysses, signed by James Joyce, in London on November 19. The estimate is £7,000-£9,000.

Classic literature just isn't relatable. It is only in the recent past that authors have learned how to write in a way that appeals to contemporary readers
