But let's also stand up for our community, remembering that community is bigger than ourselves. Hal seems to have forgotten that. I hope we can do better. (6/6)

Hal's work over the years has given me opportunities that I wouldn't have had otherwise, and I believe he deserves thanks for that. I also don't support harassment of any kind. Please, let's not be cruel to each other. (5/6)

Some would say these aims have been there all along. Nevertheless, Hal's statement tries to gaslight us into believing these values are "incompatible." They're not. We can be both. We can be everything we want to be. (4/6)

Since Broken Pencil was founded, the zine and small press community's values of free speech, independent thought, and meaningful dialogue have evolved to embrace new forms of ideological solidarity (NOT purity) and activism informed by identity and intersectionality. (3/6)

Hal takes pride in being a "weirdo," yet now that he's found himself on the outside, he's decided to blame others instead of making an effort to collaborate and connect. He's taken the ball and gone home. (2/6)

I'm sad to see @brokenpencilmag go, but I'm also sad to see the way it's gone. I'm sad to see @halpen's failure to imagine how the community he helped build could be bigger than his own beliefs. (1/6)

less afraid of bad people than people who can't imagine being bad

My favourite part of parties is when the person you’re talking to ends the conversation by standing somewhere else for a while.

Ryan Rivas’s text — which remix Nextdoor posts into fictional dialogues — are both hilarious and alarming. Conversational and matter-of-fact, they reveal obsessions with securing property, scrutinizing minor disturbances and calling the police. https://t.co/YKB78hDLac

Many thanks to @border_mag for publishing my review of the travelling exhibition "Conceptions of White," curated by John G Hampton and Lillian O’Brien Davis. This review was a long time in the making. I'm happy to share it. https://t.co/jrymk5V5zM

😈🔥🌱A Devil Every Day😈🔥🌱 is now available as an 📚e-book📚 from any e-book provider! p.s. Concetta Principe's discipline n.v. is pretty sweet too.

My preferred art form is the one on one conversation

This review is beyond insightful. Jade Wallace (@nycterosea) plumbs the "Notes," pierces the chaos of these poems, and apprehends the book on its own terms. They articulate meanings I couldn't articulate myself. What a privilege to be read!

You Said You Liked Art About a week out or so from DYWTFS going live, I think? I've never done this before.
