I find knowing I\u2019ll revisit my posts to be a positive and mellowing influence on my social media activity. I mostly hang out on Mastodon (at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/post.lurk.org\/@disquiet\">post.lurk.org\/@disquiet<\/a>), and I\u2019m also trying out\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/disquiet.com\/2023\/07\/12\/a-litany-of-urls\/\">a few others<\/a>. And I generally take weekends off social media. <\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m posting this halfway through a JetBlue flight home to San Francisco from New York, where I was visiting family.<\/p>\n<p>\u25b0\u00a0It\u2019s a lesser-known Gen X superstition that if you happen to walk by an establishment that\u2019s playing \u201cCome On Eileen\u201d before 10:30am, it\u2019s gonna be a better than average day<\/p>\n<p>\u25b0\u00a0When I hear the robotic voice repeat \u201cstop, look around\u201d on the JFK AirTrain, I want a Kraftwerk version of Buffalo Springfield\u2019s \u201cFor What It\u2019s Worth (Stop, Hey What\u2019s That Sound)\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u25b0\u00a0\u201dThe thing about being in Art Blakey\u2019s band was staying in it long enough to have one of your songs recorded.\u201d \u2014Frank Lacy (<a href=\"https:\/\/disquiet.com\/2025\/04\/01\/frank-lacy-smalls-nyc\/\">March 31, 2025<\/a>, at Smalls in Manhattan, leading his septet during the 9:00pm show)<\/p>\n<p>\u25b0\u00a0Imagining that by the time I\u2019m due for hearing aids, people will be muting words in everyday conversation like it\u2019s possible to do currently on social media<\/p>\n<p>\u25b0\u00a0The quiet after the dishwasher after the rain is a particularly quiet quiet<\/p>\n<p>\u25b0\u00a0Not bad. It\u2019s April 3 as I type this, and I\u2019ve been in New York since March 27, and I haven\u2019t heard Billy Joel, Bruce Springsteen, or Bon Jovi once. Let\u2019s see if I can make it to Saturday, April 5, when I fly home.<\/p>\n<p>\u25b0\u00a0Finished reading two novels this week: Ali Smith\u2019s excellent <em>Autumn<\/em> (2017), a beautifully fractured story about the emotional and intellectual connection between two people toward the start of life for one of them and toward the end of the other\u2019s, and Joan Didion\u2019s even more excellent <em>Play It as It Lays<\/em> (1970), a bleakly fractured story about the lack of connection between a number of people, and now I want to read any novel that dares to use a quote from the Didion book as its epigraph. Also read a short little graphic novel by Rich Tommaso, <em>In the Garden of Earthly Delights<\/em> (Floating World Comics, 2024), which I picked up at the excellent shop Escape Pod at the recommendation of its proprietor, Menachem Luchins. That\u2019s on Long Island in the town of Huntington, which is also where I lived in the same house from when I was about two weeks old until I left for college. I\u2019m a sucker for small comics, and comics written and drawn by the same person, and heist stories, and comics that include depictions of art, and this is all of those. I\u2019m also pondering print formats for small comics, given Hannes Pasqualini and my ongoing <a href=\"https:\/\/disquiet.com\/tag\/frame-by-frame\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"955\">Frame by Frame<\/a> series, and this one was informative.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At the end of each week, I usually collate a lightly edited collection of recent comments I\u2019ve made on social media, which I think of as my public scratch pad.
