robot melon is a journal run by stephen daniel lewis, who may or may not be a real human being.  every time a new robot melon comes out i read the whole thing and i feel excitement about it beforehand.  like i roll my sleeves up and do a dramatic knuckle cracking thing and then say to myself, “it’s now or never chico” and then i click on the issue.  i don’t read too many journals by name rather than accidentally through someone else’s work.  but i like robot melon.  i think i would be gratified if robot melon existed for another 25 years.  and on the 25th year stephen daniel lewis just wrote a really long obscene and hateful post and was like “robot melon will never die homey”.
