after the Iraq (2003) began, we got a lot more MCU movies over the next two decades, and after Iran on Saturday, we've got another two decades of more MCU movies all lined up
I appreciate this text. I was similarly inspired by Ross’ take on bohemia so I wrote something a month ago about living in Philadelphia as a Black boehmian deeply influenced by Left politics but severely disappointed with the Left’s creative output. It’s sad how many purported communists love Disney/Macklemore/other slop. Interestingly, despite my argument for Philly as a bohemian city, I fall into the post-bohemian category you are talking about as much of my writing and creative work is through meeting people over the internet as opposed to in real life. The literary scene in Philadelphia as I understand it is largely an extension of MFA networks that I am not a part of. I’m more influenced by my homies who are rappers, black communist writers of the 20th century, anarchist subculture and the Black urban rebellions of the 21st century than I am any contemporary novelist. That’s why it’s cool I found TMR cause I don’t think any other publication would let me write about Black communist authors. There’s some cool stuff happening in Philly in terms of music but the Left by and large needs to start producing better art. A lot of it has to do with the self satisfied nature of people with representation narratives that suck artistically in my opinion.
Great essay. What's missing from this spread you have going on is an intentionally offline culture of bohemians that squat, ride freight trains, and spange cross country but that's probably for the best. That subculture has been around since the early 90s at least.
after sending tens of billions in military aid to Ukraine, the anti-war movement has probably been over for years
OK, but what are you trying to say here?

Be nice it will probably be DCU
ALL BEST ARE OFF :-)))
Thanks for the warm shoutout. I hope whenever I get the chance for a sequel to my highly bohemian New York travelogue, you can be in it.
Should be interesting.
