This Week's Writing 12/16/23

Boy, heron, oppenheimer, and substackers against nazis.

Kind of slow week thanks to the vacation. We went to Athens where we saw many (very well fed) street cats! Including the cutey above, who was at the Parthenon! He is a cat that appreciates ancient culture.

Did publish a bit though; here’s what came out this week.

Politics

Lots of substackers published a letter asking why the platform has so many Nazis. (EIH)

Cultural Criticism

The Boy and the Heron shows how multiple worlds lead to just this one. (CNN)

Oppenheimer is a glib, sententious bomb. (EIH)

Hollyy keeps rock and soul alive in Chicago. (Chicago Reader)

Poetry

Got nominated for a Touchstone award! (Five Fleas)

Past midnight
too late to write
a good poem.

Little Saussure poem. (dadakuku)

Is the Signifier the Physical Appearance of the Sign?

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
