Josette Plimons consumes the dead, walks among the living, and burns in the spaces between. "Ash Eater" is a short horror story written by me, accompanied by a stunning illustration by Naomi Butterfield, and is absolutely free to read. I hope you like it! buttondown.com/ChrisMJones/...

this framing is crazy to me bc it asserts that "the audience" is a hivemind when really every individual makes their own choices about what they find acceptable. for example Louie was really important to me but bc he's a gross shitty creep I don't engage with his work anymore. he tainted it to me
When a cancelled performer reënters the culture, we expect them to offer us a great work, channelling their newfound clarity into the finest art they’ve ever made. With his new comedy show and début novel, has Louis C.K. met the bar?

Louis C.K.’s Next Chapter
In a new standup special, and a début novel, the comedian navigates murky, post-#MeToo terrain: not quite exiled, not quite welcomed back.

I was at a bookstore in Taos and saw a sign that was both kind of corny and objectively true: "you shop online to find the book you want, you go to a bookstore to find the book you didn't know you wanted"
The death of browsing is part of the reason art is the way it is now. Our opinions are largely fed to us by algorithms. Spending a spare 15 minutes wandering around a bookstore or comic shop or video rental place was how you found stuff you wouldn't ordinarily pick up and thereby expanded your taste
Bookselling is like the most "people go to the store and buy what looks cool to them without a particular agenda" type business left, and your purchases have a huge influence on what is ordered, what is displayed, and what is recommended.

Remember, too, that Hegseth would have been rejected if a single additional Republican senator — or, JD Vance — had joined Sen. Collins, McConnell, and Murkowski in voting no with the Democrats. See: www.senate.gov/legislative/...

I spent a lot of time talking about Joe Sacco in my classes. He was chronicling Palestine in comics form well before anyone else. His work is amazing to look at and if youre not familiar with him you should look him up. Really wishing i could go to this

Working with illustrators is my favorite thing. Whether it's a full ass comic or just a striking drawing for a short story when I see another person draw what's in my head my life feels fuller

Lots of people sharing this clip because it's funny and cathartic but I also genuinely believe it's important.
We have to win the narrative battle between "I live in a corrupt society and that's just how it is" and "I live in a corrupt society and we are going to defeat and humiliate these ghouls."
