Thank you! I love the album part. So happy you listened and liked the book too

@sawpoet.bsky.social’s work is meant to be performed. The superb Infinite Audition does its best to approximate the experience, with a section of monologues c/w casting directions & another with a QR code to a background Bandcamp soundtrack. So get the book, yes. But see him live if you can.

Cover image of Charlie Petch’s poetry and monologue collection Infinite Audition, with the title and author’s name on a marquee surrounded by cartoon-like pictures of a clarinet, a bikini-ed snake handler, a tooth, a strawberry, the moon, and other oddly juxtaposed items.

So happy you listened to the album too! Gah that was a journey of making time during a lot of grief and capitalism.

We've been waiting a decade for any repercussions. He's so well known for it. And like he started a literal cult? Instead he gets awards and further access

My love

Charlie lies on their back in a park. Delia the dog is close to the camera. A little panting giant

You are loved. It's so ignorant and heartless to blame the rise of facism on anyone other than fascists and their funders. Canada just about elected our own alt right populist so no need to feel superior

Fk spotify. No artist wrote music hoping it would one day be lining the pockets of a CEO funding AI military for racist wars. #ByeSpotify

I have been so unsocial here. Apologies the world is so overwhelming. Love to @wired.com magazine for the article on the creation of Bluesky. A reminder that it's important to support platforms that are run by boss rebel femmes
