Public Universal Friend   Saw a mention of this semi-elusive figure on twitter and immediately needed to know everything about them. I listened to an entire podcast episode and am fascinated. I think like most the name is what I find the most generative. As I've been thinking a lot about asexuality and how we value relationships the words "public" and "universal" feel so striking and yet I'm not entirely sure why.  Lincolnshire Poacher Numbers Station  Read this hybrid poetry/theory collection by Joseph Harrington and loved learning about these numbers stations used by spy networks but available for anyone to listen into the random codes on broadcast. Harrington does a series of poems based on the numbers, and I am drawn to this kind of code breaking form of writing that's more about process and language than narrative or sense. H.D.'s Horoscope Notebooks  I am in love with this little archive essay (more on it soon I think)
