Here’s something you should do today: Go to your local independent bookstore and buy a copy of ON A NIGHT OF A THOUSAND STARS, by Andrea Yaryura Clark. If they don’t have it, order a copy! Or buy it at one of these links: https://t.co/0oXKos4omK

@junethomas @_Richard_2001 @juliaturner @calllmenadira @hilella @AvaLubell The classic of course is "Watching the English" by Kate Fox. But yeah "middle class" in the UK is about class, while "middle class" in the US is broadly just about money

@AllanCLane @MattZeitlin One of my favorite books of all time is Ren Weschler’s “Seeing is forgetting the name of the thing one sees”. It’s about Irwin, not Ryman, but I think you’d like it a lot and it would help you understand where Ryman is coming from.

@BCDreyer Listening to the audiobook of Blake Gopnik’s Warhol biography and omg if I don’t do a mental screech every time the narrator butchers the name “Ruscha"

If it took 10 years for @adam_tooze's CRASHED to come out, and 18 months for LOCKDOWN, how long until we see his inevitable third volume on the current fustercluck?
