part of the problem is that my expectations of my future in academia are so fucking low that it feels very "to what end" to even bother with getting journal articles published, like basically I have to do this for love of the game and the game sucks

got back peer reviews on what I knew was a sloppy journal article submission and mostly feeling like "yeah, fair" but also ugh, revisions

been dealing in the background with some health stuff for about a month and am really really tired of being told to wait and see/it's mostly stress/come back when I'm worse, I just want to not have low level background discomfort and pain guys

@VogueLaGalere hi! You might try reading this article covering the first edition of the book which is linked on on the store page, to get a better sense of its contents. https://wnyc.org/story/look-around-we-live-inside-computer the Big Cartel shipping calculator seems to overestimate media mail costs unfortunately, I'll happily comp your shipping if it's an issue.

Update that if you're outside the USA and the shipping cost is too insane (tariffs, baby!!) DM me and I'll send you a discount code, sorry I didn't realize how totally insane those would be oof

@overholt the rest of the album that song is on (The Sunset Tree) might be a good start, Beat The Champ has some similarly anthemic bops

Launching pre-orders for Networks of New York 2026 tomorrow and I am nervous!!

https://urbanomnibus.net/2026/06/tide-and-current/ new piece I commissioned for Urban Omnibus just dropped, it's an interview with Marie Lorenz reflecting on 21 years of running an art project taking people around the NYC harbor in a rowboat and what you learn about the city by doing that

@geospacedman nice suggestion! using a close cousin (National Parks) and it looks pretty good imo
