"I want to mock those articles (and would find a way to stain a high-end white button-down within minutes) but in her case, it works!" I enjoy the knowingly ironic deflection in this statement.

As Robin Williams says, "rip the style guide parts out of your textbooks." But weren't the best poets born in eras of style guides? (PS I liked your piece on "If you want a good husband, marry a Jesuit." I can't quite place the realm you're coming from -- I'm far too illiterate -- but I am most certainly entirely intrigued.)

Ms. Maltz Bovy -- Feminine Chaos still out there? Is it only on RSS feeds? I'm a YouTube man, myself, which dates (?) and genders me. I'm fixing to get more memory for my phone and maybe will re-download Stitcher.

If you should ever list to dally, We'd (I'd) love to have you as a guest on Curiosophy Now. Robert Wright, Aryeh Cohen Wade, John Horgan, a bunch of people have done it. I'd love to talk "Privilege" but, if you're over that, I'm loving your current Close-Reading, too. (Maybe the latter could be peppered with the former?) Happy to give you a list of past guests (Nikita Petrov!), should that be of use to you. Bill Scher and Matt Lewis!

I'm not on Twitter anymore. I'm on Post and Instagram and Discord and Substack. (That still feels... diffuse.) It is apparent I am now rambling. Did I mention that my podcast is audio only?

No pressure, either way. If you even read this comment, I'd be tickled puce.

Ciao! Il n'y a pa de temps que cette temps.
