Happy Noam Chomsky Day to all who celebrate
One year at a bar the night before thanksgiving a stranger leaned over to ask me the name of the guy who was both a linguist & an activist & I blanked for a minute & then leaned over & shouted NOAM CHOMSKY, & he shouted back NOAM CHOMSKY & soon we had the whole bar chanting NOAM CHOMSKY NOAM CHOMSKY
Small town and suburban bars the week of thanksgiving have the most insane vibes—adults at home visiting parents and already going insane and sneaking out at night to drink. Weird and terrifying kinships form

When I saw Seattle treasure Nathan Vass was reading tonight at Folio, one of my favorite literary venues, I knew I had to be there. If you don't have Nathan's book yet...get on it!

Wilson-mentum is real.
