NYC friends: anyone want to help me host a reading in late July/early August for my novel release?
@Narcan_Darlings The novel is about a disappearing quarry worker in a southern Indiana small town, but in execution it’s very weird and digressive. I surely would need help with the flyer
Posing and going nowhere like tree branches
“Man, I spend too much time on my phone, maybe I’ll check out a contemporary novel” *opens book* “He scrolled on his phone through the night and into the morning, bored, disgusted, aroused, and went to work texting in traffic, and why do they call it a phone, really”
You know that culture is dead because no one successfully reckons with phones in film and literature. It’s like having westerns without the railroad. Phones and phone culture should be what 90% of movies and books are about.
@uhave2callit Yes, the music needs to be stupid and degraded in such an environment
Not sure what it is just yet but there’s something infuriating about listening to classical music while working as a line cook
Caleb Caudell retweeted
Time for the final read through before publication
Individualism and youth worship culminate in hatred of the young; when a generation or two ages out, they loathe those behind them, and rather than wanting better for descendants, they enjoy seeing them as suffer, out of envy for those who still have the most prized quality
@CassiaBeltran They’re extremely touchy and defensive about it, and then also super moralistic toward what’s really an extension of their own lifestyle of selfish individualism in forms they refuse to recognize
The boomer combines a crass materialistic outlook and a borderline psychopathic addiction to a kind of cheap consumerist comfort and seclusion with an extreme insensitivity to pleasure and health, art, food, leisure:
@Hodlingsince21 For sure. The hippies are a subset of this boomer phenomenon
They have this bizarre pride in cutting costs and pretending they have depression era frugal instincts, yet mostly for the sake of amassing more stupid junk and being able to retire, go on cruises, vacation at time share resorts, etc
They stock up on industrial toys, motorcycles, boats, trucks, rv’s, live in tacky oversized houses in godforsaken suburbs, and listen to inane music about partying, and yet they eat bologna sandwiches and frozen lasagna and sneer at people who like actual nice things
