    There’s nothing you need to know about this book before you read it. You oughta trust us by now. @filet_o_calvin’s third novel is tuned to a frequency you’ll feel in your gut. Really funny and sad in the most quiet of ways, good for the soul. The great American novel (link below)

    Devastated to learn of the passing of one of our angels @eris_rlt. Her father called me to break the news and I’m still in shock. As I learn more, including possible memorial services, I’ll post here. I don’t have any words right now. My heart goes out to anyone who loved her.

    You owe me a river. During a national mood disorder, you embodied the spirit of our art. Your legacy is colossal. You lived right as a writer, you were my friend & I’ll miss you as long as I live. This is the first picture you sent me. This is the first merciless day without you.

    Our beloved @eris_rlt will be lain to rest on the morning of August 4th in a graveside celebration of her life organized by close family. I’ve been asked to keep it semi-private but if you’re near Santa Barbara on that day and want to go, DM.

    We’ll be publishing Elizabeth V Aldrich’s complete works, stuff published online and stuff nobody’s seen before, painstakingly transcribed by @johnnyh0llywood with assistance by too many to credit right now in a tweet. It’ll be called Speedheart. It deserves a spine. Summer 2024.

    LOL @maggiecsiebert sold out again. We swear this isn’t a prank or intentional. BONDING has met unprecedented demand, a runaway success, our all time bestseller. Excuse us while we recalibrate to this new paradigm, fast track an MBA & remake the world economy. Give us two weeks.

    The future is bleak. @Elytron_Frass & @stretchedskin launch you into another orbit, the cosmic fabric tearing at the teeth. Vitiators is expat’s first graphic novel, an 8x11 hellscape in luscious black&white panels. Caustic, majestic, ludicrously obscene. expatpress.com/product/vitiat…

    Happy birthday Lizzie @eris_rlt. Death isn’t real. Speedheart is coming, Spring 2025. We’re working hard on it.

    Sit down. Expat held the first of these new readings in my backyard October of 2020 before the Forever Hollywood cemetery reading. We invented this shit, we invented what came after, and now we’re ahead of you, conspicuously omitted from the narrative as usual. Never complained

    Crazy how you start an entire movement and they actively try to box you out of it. The rise in nyc literary readings the last three years started with the Fuccboi launch

    To write is to see words. A febrile concussive statement, a call to arms, a righteous imperative to remake the zone of literature in a new image. A touch of psychotic self-regard. Each contributor was curated to destroy, brought their best. Each delivered. expatpress.com/product/expat-…

    Happy birthday Lizzie. Still hits me like a ton of cinderblocks every year. So many pictures of you. The delays have been totally necessary but Speedheart will be between two surfaces and a spine soon. It will feature a significant unpublished work. Spring 2026 belongs to you.
