link roundup

  • chosen family: poem/prose that hits both the foundfamily and truelove nerves...i like it well i like it!
  • loneliness: poem originally linked on twt by cee. you can seriously rotate to this forever re: If you figured out why you chose it, years later, would you ask it to go? How would you replace it?
  • have you ever met one?: super short flash fiction piece about ghosts that made me smile
  • only orange: can you tell i got myself a subscription to the new yorker for christmas? this is one of the long fiction pieces in the first magazine issue i got. it was weirdly enthralling although the ending fell a bit flat for me...interesting thoughts to be had here about the people pleasing audrey and the harsh jeanne and the middle ground between them...also quite a few killer lines about family.
  • invisible cities: hunted down a pdf of this shit finally. to be read...
  • postcard to ben, with ben, from paris, kentucky: sorry for clunky google books link...i am obsessed with this poem 
  • one of the best humans of new york posts ever: i love wamen. 
  • long-time nuclear waste warning messages: aside from the horror from nuclear disaster it is honestly funny that this is a problem people have dedicated time to solving...reads like a poem: This place is not a place of honor / No highly esteemed deed is commemorated here / Nothing valued is here / What is here was dangerous and repulsive to us / This message is a warning about danger
  • tree: i love this series of photographs
  • snow: an extremely low budget song about hating winter in michigan by a guy who lives in detroit. cracks me the fuck up every time
  • when people start talking shit and you have no idea what they're talking about: one of the funniest bja vids ever
  • there will be blood: a recollection of the event that sparked the legendary wings/avs rivalry from the man who got his face smashed in himself. the way this is written is honestly mind blowing like ok kris draper get that creative writing degree ig...most iconic hockey beef of all time.

The danger is still present, in your time, as it was in ours / The danger is to the body, and it can kill.

holy shit dude...

i'm gonna come back and read some of these later, but omfg that bja video is like exactly how i feel about "baby showers" too!!! my friend went to one the other day, where the family had spent like obscene amounts of money on all kinds of stupid shit like a seven layer cake or whatever... and i was like girl, first of all the baby is already born so just say you're throwing its 0th birthday party, and second of all the baby was JUST born that mf is NOTTT eating cake
