...b/c it totally does & it whips

some of my fave pickups from opening weekend:

94 feet and a peach basket by jeremiah wistrom: did a DOUBLE TAKE when i opened this one & was like holy shit i know that basketball court!!! i've BEEN IN THAT NEIGHBORHOOD!!!  and the accompanying writeup was like "yeah i was eating a sandwich in boston's north end & did a double take when i turned a corner and there was a basketball court shoved right up in there?" and i'm like I KNOW THE SANDWICH YOU ATE haha

but yeah—beyond that initial shock of startled & delighted recognition, it turns out this whole book is a photomemoir of sorts, in which the author's taken all these (cool/interesting/from-unusual-angles/etc) photographs of random basketball courts in all these places he's visited, all across the country, and written up a little bit about the history/context/etc of each one, what it was like to shoot some hoops there, what brought them there, etc, and... just a lot of love & interest & local color in it, i really adored reading through the thing

it reminded me a lot of what i love about birding: like birding, i guess you can in fact do basketball Everywhere and just by doing it you learn a little bit about Everywhere in the process.

weird tigers by kiriska: AS ADVERTISED. 10/10 delightful. i love every weird-ass tiger in these pages

what horse are you? by aya borucki: i'm a friesian :)

ἄγχω (ankhō) by s. barnes: i love it when things are claustrophobic & paranoid & bad!  spend the Night Before Battle inside the trojan horse with Odysseus, in glorious black & orange :)))))

i picked up a bunch of other zines too and spent too much money ahlgiehalgie... no time to photograph them all, but, there's unsettlingly-illustrated toxic fish!  there's traumatized geese!  there's surprisingly-affecting poetry!  it's all good shit
