"Like a breathless night out at a dive bar with your best friends, your lovers, your best friend's lovers, your ex-lover's best friends, your ex-lovers/ex-friends...I inhaled this book and its compact sprawl." —Natalie Marlin, @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social (Minneapolis, MN)

@racketmn.com zine and my latest haul (Dune coloring book and special edition paperback) from @moonpalacebooks.bsky.social tastefully staged on my very messy work desk with coffee spill stains to provide contrast. Yes that is a pager. Yes it is still active.

White zine titled "Racket: The First Five Years" on a messy desk that has brown coffee stains, fountain pens, a 2600 magazine, a Dune by Frank Herbert and a Dune coloring book. A yellow cat coffee mug peeks slightly off screen. A white "buttress pillow" key chain sits in its packaging partly under the Racket zine. The photographer having forgotten it was there and deciding not to care it is included
