From the sublime to the absurd in no particular order:
1. John Lennon singing Instant Karma!
2. Torn between making art and taking direct action? Read Derrick Jensen’s essay “Loaded Words: Writing as a Combat Discipline”
3. Fall in love with the English language: Listen to Jeremy Irons reading Lolita
4. It’s so awful, it’s great: Russian Shark Attack Tampax commercial
5. The always wild, beautiful and strange art & literature at biblioklept.
The Loaded Words article was outstanding. Glad you shared it, John Lennon’s pretty good too, I hear. 😉
Yes, the Loaded Words essay is really great. It puts so much in perspective–art, career, the state of the planet. Reminds me of what is possible in writing and what the action that is urgently needed by all of us. Thanks Jeff!
