Book Club Is Back Baby: Life In Code by Ellen Ullman (Patreon)

Hey folks thank you for your patience while I had extremely personally plot relevant months.

Today it is a dark grey rainy day in Toronto, perfect for getting a good sleep, waking at nine and organizing your coming literary needs.

Everything Patreon is starting up again with renewed sincerity & passion. Starting of course with the deepest narrowest node of CJ The X content, the Kill The Internet book club.

Life In Code is a collection of essays by computer programmer, author, and human being Ellen Ullman that she wrote over the course of decades in the field of coding, from 1994-2014.

Consider the internet's development from 1994-2014. Now imagine being an architect of those changes. Now imagine trying to express all of this emotionally through personal essay in a way that captures things that need to be captured. Now stop imagining it, because you can read it with us in August/Sept.

I think after much experimentation I've got a kind of decent feel for appropriate timeline/page count. We'll be covering 30-odd pages per week over the course of 8 weeks, bookmark threads coming every Friday. Bookmark threads, can you believe we haven't called them that till now?

Note that bc of the way things work out, week 3 you have 42 pages, all of Part II. Plan for that slightly heavier reading load. Week 7 you only have 24 pages so there's a lil relaxation. Schedules look like this from now on. Thanks to...

I want to thank my childhood best friend Ally who is coming onboard to keep Patreon content organized and consistent. Long time coming because we love working together and she is fantastic with aesthetically coherent administration of excellent things.

She is keeping me accountable and things on track so that I like myself, you like me, and most importantly so that the art continues to art and the community can community.

Everyone say thanks Ally you're the best keep that whore in check (im the whore)

Starting August there will be monthly/weekly uploads every Wednesday. Social No Para eps, Conversations With, & now introducing Album/Movie of the month threads alongside book club.

I'll still post my sporadic art on here whenever I feel compelled to but you can now rely on four monthly uploads in addition to that. And book club bookmark Fridays.

Yes & videos too I'll fix my disease I did my research I'll do my job now too.
