There is only so much fluorescent lighting one can handle, but I did make it to 3 great panels: Writing Sex Beyond Survival, Experiments in Time, and Reporting the Self. Got to hear some of my favs: @melissafebos.bsky.social @hbrenhouse.bsky.social @jailthepoets.bsky.social & more!

Two years ago I dreamed up a very strange magazine. Now it's real. I can't put into words what it's meant to me to conjure this thing, pack it with the fifty writers and artists I most admire, and put it into the world. I hope you'll get one, read it, love it.

Elastic, the print magazine of psychedelic art and literature, is here. Our first issue, on the theme of dying, is available for order now—and it’s stacked, to put it mildly. Fifty contributors. 176 lush pages filled with work that bends time and space and perspective. Nab a copy at elasticmag.com.

Thanks! It's saying you "can't be messaged" — maybe you need to follow me for me to be able to?

Hi Quinn! I've been trying to be in touch about a project I'm working on that's supported by Harvard and UC Berkeley. Would love to send you a note here or by email, if you're open to it. Huge thanks.

In which @alexanderchee.bsky.social has his car stolen and we speed across Montreal and deep into the suburbs at 3am to recuperate what the thieves left behind in the snow (laptop! annotated novel manuscript! precious message t-shirts!). As he writes, "Some things just decide they belong to you."

What The Thieves Did Not Steal
