I am? Well, I should probably get on that…
Anyway, for reasons unclear to me—because I don’t think I’m that interesting or worthy of something like this—but appreciated regardless, Daniel D’Addario wrote a profile on me for The Awl.
So, if you care to, go forth and read it (but try to ignore the negative comments, even though I wasn’t able to do so).I’m actually completely...

Free Things You Could Own
Due to consolidation initiatives, I have a few things that are not necessary! For the very act of coming to get them in the East Village, at a convenient ground-floor location, these things could be yours. I will not help you remove them! I will point and laugh. These things are Ikea, so your cost-benefit analysis of coming to get them is basically x =? > trip to Elizabeth NJ +/- $50. Heh. (DID...

Citibank Blocks Bank Account of "Objectionable"... →
Oh neat. Citibank blocked a gay blog’s business account because someone at the bank didn’t like THE CONTENT ON THEIR BLOG. Yes, that is the reason they gave. Not only is their stock in the GARBAGE, they are other kinds of morons as well.
The best part is how the blog threatens to move their account if they don’t get a good resolution tomorrow. UM. HELLO. MOVE YOUR BANK ACCOUNT....

Um, for like some balance, we kind of need like maybe a polyamorous lesbian mega-feminist internationalist vegan so-leftist-it’s-maybe-libertarian column about something specific to that realm over at The Awl, if anyone’s interested and got a burning series idea burning a non-patriarchal hole in her/his brain? (I DO NOT KNOW what is going on with this kind of fabulous right-ward swing...

Grandma!
Okay wait! Now I swear this is the last thing I’ll post here from the paper archives, but it simply must enter the digital record, as it explains everything, as well as being the only photograph I have of me with my grandmother. (She was, by all accounts, an incredible woman, it should be said.)

One Date I Went On Once
And finally, for our last stop (at least, for today!) on this tour through yesteryear, mostly because all the other pictures in this box are of people who are either dead or in jail, la la la, that is what happens to gay guys of my age, what can I say, here is a previously unknown photobooth picture that I do not in the slightest remember taking while on, I am 98% sure, a very long roadtrip-date...

Oh and Here Is My Zine From 1993
YUP. It was called Bad Representation. I forgot that entirely. It was published “by the Patty Hearst Public Art Collective,” which I guess was just me and a Kinko’s in this instance? And yes, the premiere issue’s cover story was headlined WHOSE PENIS IS IT, ANYWAY?—and it was apparently about “visual subjugation and “male supremacy” in gay pornography and...

Khod'-or-kov-sky →
I wrote a long article on the jailed Russian oligarch Mikhail Khodorkovsky, here. Since this happened people have had occasion to ask me how to pronounce it. As with most Russian names, however you pronounce it is really just fine. It’s not like people don’t know who you mean.Don’t let Keith alarm you with the “long” descriptor, it’s only 5700 words. (Besides, how...

Tonight
Tonight at Housing Works I’ll be reading a short piece of nonfiction. It is made up of two interwoven nonfiction listicles. One of the listicles was written by Amy Steele; the other was written by Julia Allison. I call this piece: “My Alsatian Internet Cousins, or, If I Plan to Die Soon, What Incentive Do I Have Not to Write about Brian? A Time Out Listicle, written by Amy Steele and...

Elektra: Sometime a lovely boy in Dian’s shape, with hair that gilds the water as it glides, crownets of pearl about his naked arms, and in his sportful hands an olive tree—to hide those parts which men delight to see.
Dante: Omg why is everything over there so shiny?
