I first saw the name “Nate Lippens” while poking around alt-lit circles online. This might have been on Substack, or Twitter X. He was mentioned as a new writer, apparently of the alt-lit milieu. Based on the name “Nate Lippens”, I pictured some young kid, who was funny maybe? Not necessarily an author, but maybe a Twitter anon, a political commentator or a Dimes Square personality, someone offbeat.  He seemed to be someone significant though. It was unclear why.
