I just found out that this is a blog.
Three days ago, in this comment thread, I found out that We Who Are About To Die is a blog. I had no idea and since then, I’ve done a lot of soul-searching.
Melissa Broder initially invited me along for this ride, after Daniel Nester invited her. Who knew that we’d be sailing this ship, four months later? (Ship in picture below)
WWAATD and the scoundrels that sail it.
So I guess, well, I’d sort of thought that WWAATD was a sunk ship. To be honest, that’s what I thought. But. That was before I learned that WWAATD is actually a blog. So, now I say, Chips-A-Hoy, let’s go capture some poets & writers and make them write poems for us and give us the rights to them for free (oh wait thousands of literary magazines across the world already do that).
One of the interesting things about a lit blog is that it’s not just another literary magazine. Right? I mean hell, you only live once, get off my back! Gosh!
I was thinking about it, and like, I think we are like awesome (now that I know we’re actually a blog).

Like, are Chips Ahoy vegan?
That tagline “just another literary magazine,” or “another literary magazine,” or “another magazine,” although some abut the over-title of some of my favorite journals/magazines, it makes me think of the early 90s, when people like Juliana Hatfield and Kennedy would spar on MTV, and then she would play “My Sister,” and Kennedy would look around the crowd and then nod deep into her shoulder blades when Hatfield would come back to the Morning Latte stool, and then there would be a commercial for some soft drink.
It sounds dated, I guess is what I am saying.
We should at least put up a BBS here. Anyone know how to set up an old school, anonymous-asshole-friendly BBS?
*raises hand*
I don’t even know what a BBS is.
I am soooo ooooold.
I’d only join a BBS if I had to telnet to it.
Does it have anything to do with pirates?
I’m so even older I don’t know what YOU are talking about!
