SCREENSHOTS is a monthly series of posts via which HILOBROW’s Josh Glenn reviews his most recent screenshots — before deleting them from the over-full Dropbox folder to which they’d been uploaded. Also see the PHOTO DUMP series.
Detail from a photo (by Deb Chachra) for a forthcoming HILOBROW series on our contributors’ tattoos. Stay tuned.
I continue to interview commercial/applied semioticians around the world for the MAKING SENSE Q&A series at SEMIOVOX…
However, as we approach the 150th Q&A in the series, it’s time to take a break. Don’t you think? As of mid-November, MAKING SENSE will go on hiatus.

Image that will accompany HILOBROW’s publication of an excerpt from W.E.B. Du Bois’ poem “Litany of Atlanta,” dated 1906, which appeared in the author’s 1920 book Darkwater: Voices from Within the Veil. The poem references the Atlanta Race Massacre of 1906.
Le Docteur Lerne, sous-dieu is a 1908 proto-science fiction / fantasy novel by Maurice Renard. HiLoBooks will serialize a translated excerpt from this novel for HILOBROW’s readers in 2027. I’m doing the groundwork now.

“A story of the ongoing evolution of humanity that’s considered a classic of the genre. Radium Age’s new edition [of Olaf Stapledon’s Last and First Men] has a few enticing extras, including an introduction from IF THEN author Matthew De Abaitua and some truly excellent cover artwork from Seth depicting several stages in humanity’s development.” — Reactor’s Can’t Miss Indie Press Speculative Fiction for July and August 2026
