Don’t you understand that it all goes back to Tao Lin? And it always has? I wouldn’t be writing, or posting, without Tao’s influence; I imagine this is obvious. Richard Yates is the great American novel. My own precious copy has been rendered unreadable due to impassioned/psychotic scribbling, it now resembles a treasured keepsake of the criminally insane. Tao recently brought back the MuuMuu House blog and it is the only publication I routinely check. His editorial choices are very strange, I particularly recommend this.

📽Support our independent cinema screens!! I am a Londoner so I have memberships with BFI, Prince Charles and Picturehouse and it is totally worth it, especially as watching movies takes up a good chunk of my personality and I dislike watching things at home. Advanced screenings, access to smaller films, discounted tickets are all great but it’s also just nice to support these places who do so much in preserving the British independent film scene which is currently in an abysmal state. Curzon, Everyman, The Garden, Genesis, ICA and many more are also all great and I would be members of them all if I could. Big up BFI especially because I probably wouldn’t have got as far in both my career and love of film without them, and the Northampton Filmhouse in my hometown which was my first independent cinema.
These are of course London based examples but I encourage everyone to support their local independents 🫶🏻

🎥The best movie theater in New York seats 35. See a movie here you know nothing about and you will be inspired. For me most recently it was a screening of Dave Wascavage’s Suburban Sasquatch. Simple Town has been lucky enough to play videos here twice. The first night was packed, the second night we sold two tickets, and both nights were perfect.

Spending ~60% of one’s income on rent is an honorable and Lindy thing for an artist to do. Living with others is a developmental milestone I never met; I am an untenable roommate. Being alone allows you to revel in your strange, peculiar, and poetically pathetic existence. It helps if, like me, you don’t mind being cucked in a precarious and underpaid position in the economy. I understand others do.

This requires two shoutouts. I recently went through a quasi-breakup, after which Heartlocket Amazon Primed me a PS5 and Delicious Tacos encouraged me to channel my depression/rage into Kingdom Come: Deliverance. Video games are a perfect vessel for male anguish. Deliverance allows you, if momentarily, to step outside of the Longhouse.
