Today is the article-versary of this essay I co-wrote with my friend and comrade @annakornbluh.bsky.social advocating for the often forgotten right to culture and the need to both defend and use arts infrastructure at all levels. Let’s keep the fight going! hyperallergic.com/how-to-….

How to Protect Your Right to Culture

The United States government’s coordinated repeal of the right to culture has grave consequences for the texture of our daily lives. But there are ways to fight back.

We were across from the New Press stand at the Frankfurt Book Fair, & it reminded me just how much I love Studs Terkel. Working, The Good War, Division Street America, Hard Times—all full of fascinating stuff that would have been lost had Studs not been asking questions & listening to the answers.

Read Studs Terkel for the social/historical sweep, the infinite chorus of American speech, or for the occasional paragraph that feels ripped from Denis Johnson or Barry Hannah.
I grew up in a little town in Illinois, along the Kankakee River. I was an Eagle Scout. Although I was just a pint-size, I won three medals. I liked ROTC. In 1936, the middle of the Depression, I worked my way through. One summer, while building a road, I saw an advertise-ment: Join the Navy. Go to Panama and Cuba on a one-month cruise. All expenses paid. They put us on an old battleship, the Arkansas, three hundred of us college kids. They put these sailor uniforms on us, with a blue band around our hat. We got ashore. We thought we'd do much better with the girls than enlisted men, but we were dismal failures. The regular crew members had told all the girls in Panama that the blue band meant we had gonorrhea.

Traveling to #ASAP2026 for a great-looking panel on Group Formations Saturday at 10:45 led by @elizabethalsop.bsky.social . I'll be doing a B-side to my book, talking about kinds of science-fictional collectivity and Adrian Tchaikovsky's *Alien Clay*.
