I’m writing a book. It’s called Goonworld. It’s not about gooning. Or it is, metaphorically. But mostly it’s about post-COVID culture writ large—the range of, let’s say, unusual online forms/tendencies that have emerged this decade and that have in various ways altered the texture of contemporary reality. Sort of a travelogue. A journey to the heart of slop etc. Out via FSG eventually!

A Covid-cautious lesbian bar in Western MA made customers wear KN-95s. When management decided to relax the mandate a few weeks ago, all hell broke loose.
The community they worked so hard to build turned on them — calling them ableist, racist, even eugenicist.

When an NPR station got their first blind applicant , it felt like “a rock got thrown in the pool.” So they called Andrew Leland for guidance. That moment led him to write a manifesto on how blind audio journalists & their colleagues can work together:

In Baffler no. 81, @quailty examines three works by deaf artists: a memoir from Rachel Kolb, Sara Novic’s novel of deaf-anarchist insurrection, and the film “Deaf President Now!”

In our new issue, @quailty considers contemporary deaf art and writing, which navigates the contradictions of deaf life in America as the second Trump administration threatens to dismantle the ADA.
