Q. Why is your hair like that?

A. 100 generations of Ashkenazi inbreeding.

 

Q. A website? Really? In 2025?

A. I know. But I just couldn't find a moral way or reason to continue funneling myself as a monetized product into billionaire outrage-generation platforms to get in return only anxiety and propaganda. But I still want between 2 and 6 people to pay attention to me.

​

Q. Should I listen to the Mountain Goats?

A. Hell yeah you should! Start with the Sunset Tree and move out in a bi-temporal direction from there.

​

Q. Do you have any strong opinions about punctuation?

A. Funny you should ask. I don't believe you can be a good person and not use the serial comma. Also, the semicolon is inherently romantic.

​

Q. What are your personal foundational texts?

A. Not my favorites necessarily, but the books that formed me:

• Dune, Frank Herbert

• The Illuminatus Trilogy, Robert Anton Wilson

• Cat's Cradle, Kurt Vonnegut

• To Bedlam and Part Way Back, Anne Sexton

• The Chicago Manual of Style
