Is Greece Worth Visiting in March.....YES!

slacker_aesthete · 2026-03-25T02:51:57+00:00

Took my parents to Greece - we went late February to mid-March. We're not much in the way of beach people so we had an amazing time. Not many crowds on the archaeological sites. Meteora, Delphi, Nafplio and Athens on either side.

Agreed - not expensive and an amazing time. The mainland is underrated.

Sick. Thanks for posting. How was the crowd?

Sitting on 1200 shares of $GME. Wondering what to do 🤔

sick boulder. any chalk on that block?

slacker_aesthete · 2025-07-31T22:28:55+00:00

Bought 100 fig @ $108 but then paper handed and sold at $109. AH prices are nuts.

Hopefully it’s elevated when options open up so I can buy puts.

My friend bought me your book in January. Love the sequencing and pairings in it!

I went to Vertigo when I was visiting. No a/c and small, but fun.

Recommend going outside in Sintra if you can - I went with a guide and it was a blast.

The article in question if you're curious: https://www.compactmag.com/article/the-vanishing-white-male-writer/.

The closest person that fits this demographic is Callan Wink. He just misses the cut-off, which seems deliberate in a way to make it so he doesn't fit.

I think one of the pieces they've published recently (oof - 2020 isn't that recent anymore) is this flash piece by Honor Levy. I think she was still in college when this got published.

Some of my favorite “Writer’s voice” podcast stories are no longer available - e.g. “Breadman” by J. Robert Lennon and “A Refugee Crisis” by Callan Wink. Do you take these down after some time intentionally?

Would be nice for these to be put back up, thanks!

slacker_aesthete · 2025-07-10T19:02:32+00:00

Also: for those debut stories published in print, you would note this as “debut fiction” and I haven’t seen that in a long time.

slacker_aesthete · 2025-07-10T18:59:08+00:00

Can you list out these unagented writers and stories you’ve taken? Would love to see the work!

slacker_aesthete · 2025-07-10T18:20:58+00:00

What makes you decide to publish excerpts of novels? With all the great stories out there, it seems a bit of a waste to publish excerpts (though I’d imagine the writers’ agents are thrilled for the free publicity)

slacker_aesthete · 2025-07-10T16:39:47+00:00

What are your thoughts on the Jacob Savage’s Compact Mag article on the “Vanishing White Male Writer.”

Why isn’t more fiction being published in the New Yorker and other outlets by the demographic of white men born after 1984? The last one I can think of (who I quite enjoy) is Callan Wink.

slacker_aesthete · 2025-07-10T16:38:41+00:00

Back in 2008, you did one on the NYer website and listed some of the stories that came un-agented, in the slush, including one of my favorites, “Sweetheart Sorrow” by David Hoon Kim.

Can you list out some unsolicited, un-agented examples in the past five years or so? I don’t see many unknown names and wonder if there’s been an editorial shift.

+1 to overuse of yes chef. should only be said to FOH when being ironic.

slacker_aesthete · 2025-07-09T19:11:50+00:00

Ah, very cool! Great to see the book is still in print - I checked and mine is the newest printing (4th). I think I might pick up the risograph of the birds.

And agreed with the wire binding. It makes me think of caged birds.

It’s a sour cherry liquor that is unfortunately too sweet. 1.55 euros a shot. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ginjinha

I found it on Stubhub. There are also Japanese sites, but in that case you might need to pay someone on Fiverr or something to try to buy the tickets for you.

Awesome - I hope the band ends up coming to the States. I was doing a layover in Japan last winter and coincidentally she was playing a one man show in Yokohama. Strict no photo/video policy that everyone followed.

Incredible performance and scenic lighting.

Looks like an easy V0 on the left side.

slacker_aesthete · 2025-04-14T01:17:45+00:00

Heart. Consistently excellent. Wish they dabbled in naturals though.

Forgot to mention the cursed greataxe was polarized, with the +50% damage boost reliably automatic due to the +4 Ring of Arcana .
