"Losers, like autodidacts, always know much more than winners. If you want to win, you need to know just one thing and not waste your time on anything else: the pleasures of erudition are reserved for losers. The more a person knows, the more things have gone wrong."

Instead of wasting time on an overwritten whataboutism on words, language, rhetoric by a once-admired novelist read this short and sharp essay by Arundhati Roy. Grateful for her moral clarity in these times. scroll.in/article/106486…

Anne Carson being unbelievably great
no poem wrecks me like this poem wrecks me Wisława Szymborska (1923-2012)
really enjoyed the Paris Review daily poem today ~ "That whatever I take in my hands, I look like I am selling something."
i think about this louise bourgeois interview like once a week
Thomas Pynchon is a phenomenal poet
UPDATE. new new bail fund for cal poly humboldt is being coordinated by bay area anti-repression crew. (link here: rally.org/ARCbailfund) both cashapp & venmo are blocking funds now. i'm erasing my previous bail fund posts now, so as not to create further confusion.

‘Anti-semitic’ protests on college campuses??! I went to the encampment at the University of Pittsburgh yesterday and let me tell you what it’s REALLY like
Pitt Student Government Board issues a statement in support of students demands, echoes call for University to Disclose, Acknowledge, and Divest from apartheid.

Pitt students remain peaceful, continue their demands to meet with Pitt Chancellor Gable to begin talks about divestment.
The University of Pittsburgh’s Palestine encampment takes over the campus lawn, and an arrest has been made. Protesters form human chain to protect the tents and protesters on the lawn from the Pitt police.

I would only read an "Internet novel" if it's about tumblr in the first half of the 2010s
Now that my Met Gala hangover is gone, I can post the things I actually liked last night 🧵
A posthumous selected poems was just published for a relatively unknown poet who I've written about extensively, & the title of the book, which is also the title of a long poem by that poet, is misspelled in each iteration.
In BOMB's Spring issue, Richard Siken sets language to the rhythms of his stroke and recovery, Robert M. Rubin leads readers into "Vanishing Point," and Marwa Abdul-Rahman paints the invisible. Read it all now by subscribing today. ezsubscription.com/bmb/subscribe?…
unfortunately fitting & timely to be reading the devastating poetics of Daniel Borzutzky
ANOK YAI, YOU’VE DONE IT AGAIN #MetGala
Emma Chamberlain at Met Gala in custom ✨Jean Paul Gaultier✨, referencing Fall/Winter 2003 is cool, but…. How is it coherent with the theme? Like most of the outfits so far…
Hate the black detailing but love the rest. If we want to imagine a median between the Gala's past few years of costume dressing (which gets eyes&clicks) and longer history of white-tie (boring but tasteful) this is it.
elle fanning’s ice queen serve in this balmain number it’s so pleasing to look at
Idk who this is, but I know this IVH. And I also know that the butterflies wings all over her arm MOVE. I am officially in LOVE.
Jonathan and his team made looks for 11 people tonight! I’d need three packs of cigarettes too if I was him
zendaya in custom margiela by galliano inspired by christian dior haute couture spring 1999. headpiece by philip treacy, makeup by thee pat mcgrath herself. NO NOTES……
@BurrNotice Bakhtin would say Dostoyevsky, and I think Bewes would say that the concept of “true” polyphony is so permanently intertwined with D’s work that attempts to transpose it as a feature of the novel form as such (ie. heteroglossia in later Bakhtin) look problematic and unpersuasive
when I was his TA, Tim Bewes taught White Teeth to Brown undergrads as an instance of false Bakhtinian polyphony: a narrative structure offering the ruse of a plurality of multiple antagonistic perspectives but actually enabling a kind of flexible, liberal fantasy of assimilation
people are getting weird about the language of this tweet so I’ll just say there is nothing obscurantist here: “Bakhtinian” is a common adjective referring to that author’s arguments, the two keywords are Greek compounds with self-evident meanings, and the rest is just English?
when I was his TA, Tim Bewes taught White Teeth to Brown undergrads as an instance of false Bakhtinian polyphony: a narrative structure offering the ruse of a plurality of multiple antagonistic perspectives but actually enabling a kind of flexible, liberal fantasy of assimilation
So much fucking Galliano tonight, from Zendaya in vintage Dior to everybody you know in Margiela. Based on the fact this year's Gala was supposed to be in honor of Galliano, this feels like a Trojan Horse
I just fell to my knees
