“We come crawling through these cracks, orphans, lobotomies; if you ask me what I want, I'll tell you. I want everything. Whole rotten world come down and break.“

Remembering Kathy Acker, one of the greats, on her birthday.

Visiting Asheville, NC, this weekend. I love it!

Four bookstores and this is my haul.

I bought Pussy, King of the Pirates, based on the title alone. 🖤 🏴‍☠️

A few weeks ago I entered this pic in a picmonkey contest...while I didn't win, I was featured ?. I thought I would "cross pollinate" and post it here too. During a trip to one of my favorite bookshops! This is a cat I can like. Scout respects boundaries of a non-cat-lover like me, plus she likes books so there's that ??. #books #catreaders #bookshelves #bookshops #picmonkey #cats #reading #catsoflitsy
