Finally reading Octavia Butler's PARABLE OF THE SOWER. I know everyone talks about how prescient it is, but I was honestly shook on the very first page.

Can anyone tell me why I’m having a surge of new ARMY followers atm? Luff you guys and welcome welcome but was wondering where it was coming from? My Refaat Alareer translation is also getting new ARMY likes www.instagram.com/reel/C2JQvuE...

I am really lucking into some fantastic reads lately. Today I finished YOUR UTOPIA by Bora Chung, translated by Anton Hur. If you just pick it up for the story “A Song For Sleep”, you won’t regret it but really there is not a bad story in the bunch. 👀📚💙

In case you're interested in a powerful American novel about volatile political times that is equal parts anger & hope, big picture & small moments, stylistic pyrotechnics & good old fashioned truth-telling, let me again bring I Hotel to your attention www.portersquarebooks.com/book/9781566...

I Hotel (Paperback) | Porter Square Bookswww.portersquarebooks.com Dazzling and ambitious, this multivoiced fusion of prose, playwriting, graphic art, and philosophy spins an epic tale of America's struggle for civil rights as it played out in San Francisco near the ...

This is so cool! Frog & amphibian have been dessimated by the disease chytridiomycosis, caused by a fungal pathogen. Researchers have realised that the fungi is heat intolerant so little brick saunas for frogs can help kill the fungi! Recovered frogs more resistant to further infxn 🧪

As a Korean Green Party founding member, I am so envious of the UK Greens—well done, well done! I know you wanted more, but you still have so much leverage now. Use it down to the ground and give ‘em hell in Parliament.

reskeet with a tweet you still think about

Korean book Twitter taught me this. We publish A LOT—highly literate nation, invented moveable metal type centuries before Europe—but the print runs are usually minimal. So if you see anything remotely interesting, just buy it. It won’t always be in print. Read it later, but buy it NOW.

ICMYI I wrote about the importance of being a citizen archivist. We've seen so much incredible art and writing from marginalized people, and we need to preserve it in the face of a huge, well-funded backlash. This is something concrete you personally can do! buttondown.email/charliejane/...

We Should All Be Archivistsbuttondown.email Lately, I keep obsessing about two seemingly opposing but interrelated trends: 1) The past decade has seen an incredible bounty of art and self-expression...

I think the idea of making a living from your art is close to being a myth now. Just because we see The Famous Ones able to do this blinds too many people into thinking everyone is (or can) do it also. And it masks the years of hard work most people put in to get to that level.

I’m a writer with a day job. I actually publish & work full time with a gig. It’s cool if you can support yourself off your art alone, but no shame if you can’t, because many others are in the same boat.

It’s 1400 won to the dollar and 1800 to the pound right now and as someone who lives in Korea but makes most of his money from America and the UK it is… pretty amazing

Just absolute brain fog. Will finish this tea and stop trying to work in this café and go home.

Just listened to @antonhur.com's lecture on translation from Bread Loaf 2024. Full of great insight and recommendations, and just very inspiring overall. Always great to be reminded that this is what I want to do and why. (Anton is *not* the individual in the thumbnail, but well.)

Oh my God, it actually happened!

I do not understand Denmark. 99% of the 'native' population don't eat spicy food. At all. But every supermarket seems periodically to have Samyang buldak ramyeon. Sometimes even the 2x spicy. Is it just us immigrants eating these, or is there a Danish underground I've never found?
