wtf is Hot Literati
a newsletter, a podcast, a cult, a dream, a club
Hi wonderful people of the internet and gmail and the substack app and maybe hotmail (vintage)
This is my periodic reminder to you that we are not just a newsletter. if i’m being completely honest, I’m not really sure what we are.
HOT LITERATI ACC TO THE (re)COGNITION SUMMER INTERNS
We are the thing that (delightfully) keeps me up until 2 am every night and on my feet every weekend. We are the reason I now have a lip tattoo that says “read” and the reason
has a leg tattoo that sort of looks like this piece on the second floor of the Whitney.We have a podcast with a lot of new episodes.
We have an event on 9/15 where
will be DJing and you could swap books and meet the love of your life.
I love our blog. In my head, in a perfect world, we don’t serve you content at all (not even in your inbox). You forage for our meal. You check our blog maybe with your morning coffee, maybe in the bed of a hookup as you wait for them to wake up so you can meekly ask for an uber (or breakfast or coffee in bed it is LOVERGIRLFALL).
I hide a lot in the blog. In little links in emoticons, in pockets and corners of the website. Make the internet fun again. Intellectually stimulating.
NONII said during book club a few weeks ago (upgrade 2 paid substack tier 4 access to book club and archival book club audios) that the internet used to be something you’d get onto for fun, to find new things. And now it’s something we get on to check out.
Consider the blog a place to discover. To hunt around. To forage.
I’ve hidden a code on the blog that will get you a free hot literati mug.
there are only three of them available for use
(there are hints on our blog blog, starting with this post)
