new portrait of the author as a young man in an old elevator :)

The author, a thin white fella with light hair, taking a mirror selfie in a tank top and trousers in a strange elevator, awash in magenta gloom.

my friend told me about the letters between herman melville and nathaniel hawthorne and i haven’t stopped thinking about it www.melville.org/letter7.htm#...

Text reads:

Your heart beat in my ribs and mine in yours, and both in God’s… It is a strange feeling — no hopefulness is in it, no despair. Content — that is it; and irresponsibility; but without licentious inclination. I speak now of my profoundest sense of being, not of an incidental feeling.

Whence come you, Hawthorne? By what right do you drink from my flagon of life? And when I put it to my lips — lo, they are yours and not mine. I feel that the Godhead is broken up like the bread at the Supper, and that we are the pieces.

Text from a too-long-to-post tweet reads: "there is a specific genre of tweet, this "Is This Anything" nothingjoke format, that i regard with a simultaneous knowing approval and a bitter disdain. who amongst us has not once or thrice thought of a silly little phrase. but to cast it so uselessly into the void, without doing it the merest favor of building a punchline around it...how inglorious. how contemptible"

we have a #bike-curious channel in the discord that admittedly is 98% just me going “ok now look at this bike” anyway now look at this bike

A vintage aluminum time trial bicycle frame, with cool aerodynamic tube shapes. The frame is painted black, and the downtube has the word "godspeed" in a cool retrofuturist kind of "digital" font. The O in godspeed is an actual metal cross. It's edgy as fuck for the late 1980s dude imagine rolling out on the cybergoth roadie.

here is a photograph of me and someone i'm in love with kissing at the edge of the world :)

A far-away shot of a rocky desert cliff jutting out into the center of the frame. Atop the cliff is a single tree, and a couple who appear to be spinning and kissing at the very edge. The cliff side is hundreds and hundreds of feet straight down. Far in the background, a desert valley of castle-shaped rocks and scrubby trees.

i too had a nice 20 minute conversation with my friend mitch mcconnell

The Pale Man from Pan's Labyrinth, a slender figure draped with too much skin, lacking a nose and with smooth skin where his eyes ought be.

riding the subway this week

Franz von Stuck's "Inferno", as seen in the Met, a 1908 painting showing many grey and sickly individuals sitting side by side in clear unrelenting agony, as a fire rages on all sides.

portrait of the author as a young man

The author, a white man wearing a beige black metal shirt and holding his phone in front of his face. He has platinum hair, quite disheveled and askew. A spectacle.

yea.. this actually happened to a buddy of mine

A depiction of a waist chop device, which — and you may hardly believe it — appears to be chopping a man fully in half at his waist

fellow fixie sickos 🤝 i still have yet to make the leap into roadies but some of those vintage steel frames have the sauce

The face of the author, signalling a peace sign with one hand, reflected a comical warp by the chrome side panel of a 1972 BMW "toaster tank" R50/5 motorcycle.
