Le croissant du trottoir
On s’est réveillé le premier. Avec une prudence de guetteur indien on s’est habillé, faufilé de pièce en pièce. On a ouvert et refermé la porte de l’entrée avec une méticulosité d’horloger. Voilà. On est dehors, dans le bleu du matin ourlé de rose : un mariage de mauvais goût s’il n’y avait le froid pour tout purifier. On souffle un nuage de fumée à chaque expiration : on existe, libre et léger sur le trottoir du petit matin. Tant mieux si la boulangerie est un peu loin. Kérouac mains dans les poches, on a tout devancé : chaque pas est une fête. On se surprend à marcher sur le bord du trottoir comme on faisait enfant, comme si c’était la marge qui comptait, le bord des choses. C’est du temps pur, cette maraude que l’on chipe au jour quand tous les autres dorment.
Presque tous. Là-bas, il faut bien sûr la lumière chaude de la boulangerie c’est du néon, en fait, mais l’idée de chaleur lui donne un reflet d’ambre. Il faut ce qu’il faut de buée sur la vitre quand on s’approche, et l’enjouement de ce bonjour que la boulangère réserve aux seuls premiers clients complicité de l’aube.
_ Cinq croissants, une baguette moulée pas trop cuite !
Le boulanger en maillot de corps fariné se montre au fond de la boutique, et vous salue comme on salue les braves à l’heure du combat.
On se retrouve dans la rue? On le sent bien : la marche du retour ne sera pas la même. Le trottoir est moins libre, un peu embourgeoisé par cette baguette coincée sous un coude, par ce paquet de croissants tenu de l’autre main. Mais on prend un croissant dans le sac. La pâte est tiède, presque molle. Cette petite gourmandise dans le froid, tout en marchant : c’est comme si le matin d’hiver se faisait croissant de l’intérieur, comme si l’on devenait soit même four, maison, refuge. On avance plus doucement, tout imprégné de blond pour traverser le bleu, le gris, le rose qui s’éteint. Le jour commence, et le meilleur est déjà pris.
*
Ce n’est pas ce que l’on dit qui compte, mais ce qu’on entend. C’est fou comme la voix seule peut dire d’une personne qu’on aime – de sa tristesse, de sa fatigue, de sa fragilité, de son intensité à vivre, de sa joie. Sans les gestes, c’est la pudeur qui disparaît, la transparence qui s’installe.

📚 Behold! Yet another nostalgic ode to an editor who supposedly "built" a literary utopia while casually ignoring the sea of #mediocrity 🌊. Apparently, just by championing #Kerouac et al., he single-handedly transformed the #publishing world in his spare time ⏰.

The Merry Pranksters footage in a wild documentary. #Kerouac #KenKesey #NeilCassedy #StarkNaked #AlanGinsberg #LSD
If you’ve read The Electric Kool Aid Acid Test then this will all be familiar. The 16mm 60s colour stock film is so rich in the 1964 sun and looks great. The 1960s start here etc.
They’re all very privileged in a way, looking back from today, but they’re also pioneers of the frontiers of weird.

Remember Walt Whitman
Heute in der Geschichte der Arbeiterbewegung - 31. Mai 1819: Der Dichter Walt Whitman wurde geboren. Whitman brachte 1855 seinen ersten und berühmtesten Gedichtband, Leaves of Grass, auf eigene Kosten raus. Er wurde wegen seiner Sinnlichkeit als obszön kritisiert. Während des Bürgerkriegs meldete er sich freiwillig in #Krankenhäusern, um Verwundete zu pflegen. Viele glauben aufgrund seiner Schriften, dass Whitman schwul oder bisexuell war, obwohl dies von einigen Historikern bestritten wird. Oscar# Wilde traf Whitman 1882 in den Vereinigten Staaten und sagte dem Aktivisten für #Homosexuellenrechte George Cecil #Ives, dass Whitmans sexuelle Orientierung außer Frage stehe: „Ich habe noch immer den Kuss von Walt Whitman auf meinen Lippen.“ Whitman wird von vielen als Amerikas erster und größter #ichter angesehen. Er inspirierte viele, die nach ihm kamen, darunter Ezra #Pound, Langston #Hughes, #Kerouac, #Ginsberg, F#erlinghetti, Gary #Snyder und June #Jordan.
Whitmans Engagement für #Solidarität inspirierte viele #Linke der späten 1800er und frühen 1900er Jahre, darunter Emma #Goldman und die #WW, die Kopien von Whitmans Gedichten in Form des Little Blue Book an ihre Mitglieder verteilte. Bartolomeo #Vanzetti, Elizabeth Gurley #Flynn und Ralph #Chaplin bezeichneten Whitman ebenfalls als ihre #Inspiration. Er inspirierte auch den kubanischen Dichter und Revolutionär José #Martí sowie Pablo #Neruda und Jorge Luis #Borges.

Me voici pour la 2ème fois à l’assaut de "Naked Lunch" (William .S. #burroughs Penguin, 2015 [1959], contemplant, déconfit et rageur, l’abysse qui sépare la bonne connaissance d’une langue de l'intimité avec une culture, a fortiori celle de la contre-culture beatnik des années 50, de sa dépendance aux drogues, à l’alcool, au sexe, à la recherche (désespérée ?) d’un « ailleurs » que traduit une littérature (vocabulaire, syntaxe, construction) tellement « autre ». Burroughs (le dynamiteur), #Ginsberg (le politique manipulateur), #Kerouac (le poète)… Puis-je encore les comprendre (et les aimer ?) quand le monde dans lequel je vis est si différent du leur?

JACK KEROUAC & STEVE ALLEN
Poetry For The Beat Generation
2023 U.S. Ltd. Ed. Reissue
Milky Clear #vinylWhat turned me into the Kerouac freak I am today was THIS record. When I was young, probably 6 or 7, we used to get records from the library.
I never knew what I was grabbing half the time, mostly choosing based on the cover.
This was from one of those visits.
Opened up a whole new beautiful odd language for me, one I was too young to understand.

Now in College, #LudditeTeens Still Don’t Want Your Likes
Three years after starting a club meant to fight #SocialMedia’s grip on young people, many original members are holding firm and gaining new converts.
By Alex Vadukul
Jan. 30, 2025"Biruk Watling, a college sophomore wearing a baggy coat and purple fingerless gloves, walked the chilly campus of Temple University in #Philadelphia on a recent afternoon to recruit new members to her club.
She taped a flier to a pole: '#JoinTheLudditeClub For #MeaningfulConnections.' Down the block, she posted another one: 'Do You Desire a Healthier Relationship With Technology, Especially Social Media? The Luddite Club Welcomes You and Your Ideas.'"When a student approached, Ms. Watling dove into her pitch.
"'Our club promotes #ConsciousConsumption of #technology,' she said. 'We’re for #HumanConnection. I’m one of the first members of the original Luddite Club in #Brooklyn. Now I’m trying to start it in #Philly.
"She pulled out a #FlipPhone, mystifying her recruit.
"'We use these,' she said. 'This has been the most freeing experience of my life.'
If Ms. Watling had a missionary’s zeal, it was because she wasn’t just promoting a student club, but an approach to modern life that profoundly changed her two years ago, when she helped form the Luddite Club as a high school student in New York."But that was then, back when things were simpler, before she had embarked on the more independent life of a college student and found herself having to navigate QR codes, two-factor-identification logins, dating apps and other digital staples of campus life.
"The #LudditeClub was the subject of an article I wrote in 2022 — a story that, ironically, went viral. It told of how a group of teenage tech skeptics from Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn and a few other schools in the city gathered on weekends in Prospect Park to enjoy some time together away from the machine."They #sketched and #painted side by side. They read quietly, favoring works by #Dostoyevsky, #Kerouac and #Vonnegut. They sat on logs and groused about how #TikTok was dumbing down their generation. Their flip phones were decorated with stickers and nail polish.
"Readers inspired by their message responded in hundreds of emails and comments. Reporters from Germany, Brazil, Japan and elsewhere flooded my inbox, asking me how to reach these students who were so hard to track down online. Snarky Reddit threads and think pieces sprouted. #RalphNader endorsed the club in an opinion essay, writing: 'This is a rebellion that needs support and diffusion.'"

Reporters from Germany, Brazil, Japan and elsewhere flooded my inbox, asking me how to reach these students who were so hard to track down online. Snarky Reddit threads and think pieces sprouted. #RalphNader endorsed the club in an opinion essay, writing: 'This is a rebellion that needs support and diffusion.'"

Now in College, #LudditeTeens Still Don’t Want Your Likes
Three years after starting a club meant to fight #SocialMedia’s grip on young people, many original members are holding firm and gaining new converts.

Jan. 30, 2025"Biruk Watling, a college sophomore wearing a baggy coat and purple fingerless gloves, walked the chilly campus of Temple University in #Philadelphia on a recent afternoon to recruit new members to her club.
She taped a flier to a pole: '#JoinTheLudditeClub For #MeaningfulConnections.' Down the block, she posted another one: 'Do You Desire a Healthier Relationship With Technology, Especially Social Media? The Luddite Club Welcomes You and Your Ideas.'"When a student approached, Ms. Watling dove into her pitch.
"'Our club promotes #ConsciousConsumption of #technology,' she said. 'We’re for #HumanConnection. I’m one of the first members of the original Luddite Club in #Brooklyn. Now I’m trying to start it in #Philly.
"She pulled out a #FlipPhone, mystifying her recruit.
"'We use these,' she said. 'This has been the most freeing experience of my life.'
If Ms. Watling had a missionary’s zeal, it was because she wasn’t just promoting a student club, but an approach to modern life that profoundly changed her two years ago, when she helped form the Luddite Club as a high school student in New York."But that was then, back when things were simpler, before she had embarked on the more independent life of a college student and found herself having to navigate QR codes, two-factor-identification logins, dating apps and other digital staples of campus life.
"The #LudditeClub was the subject of an article I wrote in 2022 — a story that, ironically, went viral. It told of how a group of teenage tech skeptics from Edward R. Murrow High School in Brooklyn and a few other schools in the city gathered on weekends in Prospect Park to enjoy some time together away from the machine."They #sketched and #painted side by side. They read quietly, favoring works by #Dostoyevsky, #Kerouac and #Vonnegut. They sat on logs and groused about how #TikTok was dumbing down their generation. Their flip phones were decorated with stickers and nail polish.
