  • Yeah, rare, old, and otherwise inaccessible books should be protected from random destruction, but there’s a huge difference between destroying a copy of infinite jest and a copy of something that’s at risk of not being accessible to someone by that copy being destroyed. And destroying either for art is wildly different from destroying them to keep someone from accessing it.

    I collect books in a category that are stigmatized and rare, specifically related to queer and kink topics. These are topics that have been mass burned before. But even better than getting into fetishizing the object made of paper is to help get books at risk of inaccessibility to be archived and spread.











  • Funny enough my straight mom was a hard-core fan of playboy (I’m fully convinced in her heterosexuality considering her decades as an ally and all of her kids being queer). She was generally straight laced, but loved the counterculture that the articles of playboy contained.

    But yeah the business model was always that the tits pay for the ability to publish Fahrenheit 451 and Hunter S. Thompson, not the other way around.
