EVENT - July 14 CYBORG MEMOIRS at Big Summer Book Sale
Philly, get your best mask & visit me this Sunday at Icebox Project Space, 1400 N. American St. Philadelphia 19122.
GREETINGS
to all the new subscribers who have joined in recent months, and a warm howdy mf’er from me, sweat-sheen’d n writing at 3 am in the classic underwear and cut-off tank top sitting on a towel heatwave ensemble. By my own standards, it IS hot here in Philly and “it’s not even that hot out”, meanwhile I’m spiraling in and out of the routines that’ve kept me sane the past several months and I think, it’s the fuckin HEAT! How YOU doin.
I’m just dropping by to announce this book event I’ll be vending this weekend. The other vendors are comprised of many of Philly’s downtown indie book sellers, print collectives, and cool/weird designer outfits experimenting in printed matter.
To those new here, thank you. I appreciate your attention and hope you find something of use. If this is the first substack you’re getting from me since joining, I want to let you know that I’m releasing new work about once a quarter these days, being thoroughly in my “moving at a failure’s pace” phase. My existing body of work is very repeat read/listen in nature, so though you may not hear from me often, my archives are thorough and full of bomb audio offerings. The full(er) body of work lives at my URL, an old school cyberspace domain, dank and up to date, awaiting visitors. The Metropolarity site is still up as well, if u want to find likeminded stuff.
And
If you have never been or haven’t been recently to my URL, here’s the current bio~
CYBORG MEMOIRS
is a network of sexy and thought-provoking publishing projects and episodic broadcasts, from one once-chronically online and so-called “individual” currently known as M. Tellez (aka Magus Monk fka number18).
CYBORG MEMOIRS releases dispatches on the following scope of intersecting topics:
grief/rage/smut,
race/class/white supremacy culture,
climate/drugs/environment,
history/ruling class fan-fiction/warmongering,
economics/technological developments/consolidations of power,
dispossession/ancestral memories/media messaging,
and general tides of desire/hope/despair across personal, political, and underworld spectrums.
I’ll be showing out at this joint arts crew book sale with the following gearrrr. Come wear a mask and do the IRL thing with me this Sunday or do whatever and place an order thru my shop. Event details below. I’ll have:
