Time to inscribe your voice into the beatified annals of the upcoming POSTPOSTPOST print publication.
We are accepting essays, abstracts, visual contributions, notes, images, ruminations etc etc etc for the second volume of POSTPOSTPOST where we
expand on fragments of the ⊰r⊱⊰e⊱⊰a⊱⊰l⊱—from the all-too sharp bodily pain to historical materialism down to the timeline and the faultline.
Basically, what is real? POSTPOSTPOST answers only. Delving into how the colloquial has embedded shorthand, memetic, catchall words with metadata to express the visceral, all-too sharp and pointed feeling of something being too r̴e̴a̴l̴: “fr”, “real”, “real asf”, “chat/grok is this real?”.
“Assassinated radio host weighs in on stabbed girl on a bus” isn’t an AI prompt in liminal space. Posting, gossip, scandale and images have a function; they are a form of moral-bonding. To say: I too affirm this reality and want to build this world.
If you too feel crazy, if you want to tell the world why, or join a slew of lonely artisan writers in a fast mechanized world, send us what you got by November 11 ➡️ [email protected]
You can also send us an email if you want more info.

Last October @j_self sensei commissioned me to write a review of @metahaven ‘s classic 2013 𝘊𝘢𝘯 𝘑𝘰𝘬𝘦𝘴 𝘉𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘋𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘎𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘴? book - and it was more than a perfect outlet to the pent up rage and mood of the time.

“If you’re still asking what is real, you must still be stuck in 2016.” That’s Al Hassan Elwan, founder of the brand POSTPOSTPOST, who collaborated with artist Ruba Al-Sweel on Spike’s first-ever visual essay. Theirs is a flipbook of images that mirror a world where truth is relative and virtue is whatever we can get away with.

In an increasingly digital world of posts and algorithms, what is the place of print? Al Hassan Elwan (@alhassanelwan ) of @postp0stpost delves into this question with this week's print_screen article, and explores a primordial urge that connects the two mediums.

In the words of an Unreal Engine Julia Fox: “Do you sense that you are living in a world that literally makes no f*cking sense?”
Welcome to the club. According to @hadyafif , AI slop is not the death of internet culture, it’s the purest most optimised reflection of it. From thirst-trappy influencers to politicians shaking hands, we are already in a post-slop era of the internet. Must we find a way to navigate or is the goop worth exploring?
The collab you didn't know you needed. Guest contributor @postp0stpost dives into the strange online afterlife of Agartha, a fringe right-wing myth that has been remixed into a viral meme ecosystem, tracing how conspiracy, irony, and internet culture collide to give new life to an old fantasy.
Read the full story on our website for free. This one is truly something. Future historians studying the slow, deeply embarrassing collapse of U.S. empire are going to have a field day with this.
If you care about preserving moments like this and not just letting them dissolve into the scroll, head over to our webshop and grab a copy of Issue 04.
And if you are trying to keep up with the chaos as it unfolds, subscribe to our quarterly print publication so you do not miss out.
Also go show some love to @postp0stpost , kindred spirits documenting internet culture. We <3 them.
