XOXO Fest Live

Georgia talks with marketing consultant Bryce Whitwam and takes us in and out and further in – maybe further in than any of us have ever wanted to go – to the TikTok shop; Mike talks with media studies professor Shannon Mattern about Drafts – writing while it is still in progress – and how it feels to POST them. Also: Audience participation!

It’s slow writing

on re-admission of the abyss

so if this body is sleepy-tired

please walk around

Suddenly there’s nothing

in the laws of the alphabet

that breaks open revealing

what buoyancy am I.
