Proposing immediate cessation of all further covers of brilliantly emotive music being recorded by try-hard sultry sadsack singers leeching the life out of it by turning the pace to molasses and forcing themselves breathless to insinuate sex to male audiences THANKS

3rd page of the novel.

This character has only existed for one other paragraph (of which the focus is her car)

it is apparently quite urgent that we be able to visualize her tits straight away, soon as possible, chop-chop

The last two left of our foster family of 5 from last year, these handsome babies might be meeting their forever-person tonight.

Chidi Kittygonye and Mr. Banjo Beaumont, you are some exceptionally good boys. 🥹💖😭

I don't care (at all) that you "grew up with" these characters. They're fake, trans people are real, stop giving this woman money (you cowards).

"Writing that loses its Elegance loses its significance." - Mary Oliver

No one sentence could more absolutely explain my position on written art. Entertaining requires no elegance; even the most brutal art demands it. I am no entertainer.

"A pulse flies and then stops. You are pain pinned to muscle - also grasses, breath, tree-dawns and gears. You are dark arteries of quiet, the white heat smashed through deserts."

I use a book up out of love. Highlight and dog-ear, dot with the day's coffee. I pay my respects by leaving proof of lived time spent in its company; I am the process of its aging, graceful but absolute. We change each other.

"Art is not a service. Or, rather, it does not reliably serve all people in a standardized way. Its service is to the spirit, from which it removes the misery of inertia."
