I’m really proud of this piece that I translated by Yosel Cutler, a perfect Yiddish literary figure to run in an “anti literary magazine” like @publishedbyjake.bsky.social !
"Spinoza, or my grandpa, it would seem, once said that a blind man walks as easily inside a mine as a sighted one. And I’ll tell you what, Mister Cutler: The philosopher who sought out truth in the daylight with a lantern was also a real chump."

I finished this in the last hour, and I really enjoyed it. A translation of early 20th century humor with themes that are relevant today. Read it yourself because “the jokes not funny if I explain it to you.”

First up in my week of dovetails for @publishedbyjake.bsky.social, for all you insomniacs, wrestling fans, 90s nostalgists and anyone full of existential ennui, Mick Foley Falls Through an Announcers Table While I Fall Asleep by Zack Davis: jakethemag.com/mick-foley-f...

Spring/Summer 2025: @jonathandubow.bsky.social's "Masters of the Holy Name"
