Drop whatever you were doing and go watch the film about female superheroines* that is streaming on PBS right now: powells.us/13LkNHt
*Annoyingly, spellcheck doesn’t recognize that as a word.
this is great and important.
comics are in need of feminism super bad. -
“I had the big idea for Boss Fight just a few months ago. I wondered if “33 1/3 for games” existed, it didn’t, and I couldn’t believe it. Excitement would come later, but in the moment it felt more like a shrug: “Reckon it better be me then.” It’s been a blast since then. I love games but was shamefully under-read when it game to games criticism, which is such a rich field. So I’ve been gorging myself. It’s also been really rewarding to work with Ken on covers, with Jesse Grce on the Kickstarter video, with our five authors on the beginnings of their books, and to correspond with readers about where they’d like to see the series go.” (via Vol. 1 Brooklyn | Summer Camp Lit and Video Game Books: An Interview With “Fun Camp” Author and Boss Fight Books Publisher Gabe Durham)

MA$HUP FUN
They’re only rays of light. You can’t feel em but they’ll affect you just the same. The world seems to stand still, trembling on the brink of infinity, as his ear-splitting scream fills the air. Slide your thumb and the cleanup is done. Last night I walked the floor and the night before. You are on my lonely mind. Something happened to me that I can’t explain. Woke up in another lifetime dreaming on the coast of Carolina. Black suits filled the room up. In Miami. Halos dripping from the atmosphere into the shadows of my embrace. My teeth travel like a vortex. Tuck yourself in. Turn the lights off. Sleep tight.

OMG, this looks amazing.
Very excited to have the proof for John Woods’s comic book, Activities. It looks incredible. I think we’ve been working on this book for two years, which makes it especially rewarding/hard to believe.
who ain’t been that guy on that cover
btw, pretty cool that pubgen’s publishing a comic book -

I am only halfway through this novel, but my here is my favorite line so far, Tao’s description of a heart on pg. 40.
When he heard laughter, before he could think or feel anything, his heart would already be beating like he’d sprinted twenty yards. As the beating slowly normalized, he’d think of how his heart, unlike him, was safely contained, away from the world, behind bone and inside skin, held by muscles and arteries in its place, carefully off-center, as if to artfully assert itself as a source and creator, having grown the chest to hide in and to muffle and absorb—and, later, after innovating the brain and face and limbs, to convert into productive behavior—its uncontrollable, indefensible, unexplainable, embarrassing squeezing of itself.
