returned to bartending (late to shift, naturally), and half the bar burst into applause so my ego is now big as the moon

less of a plant mom and more of a plant step mom, they are hostile to my presence and wish me dead because i do not know how to care for them properly

just finished Rishi's episode. more stressful than Seven Fishes ep of The Bear. why do i do this to my nervous system

“There is no talking me out of Ella. Maybe she will marry me, maybe she won’t. But she knows …” @keersteemack.bsky.social in @bulbregion.bsky.social bulbregion.com/Eat-the-Sadd...

forever and always the coolest to find out that people love your book

today I put on a record and finished a manuscript. that makes two in a year. i dunno what will come of them, but i’m super proud.

is it me or is The Pitt real bad this season

I have been invited to read at the @cowboyjamboree.bsky.social / @malarkeybooks.bsky.social and friends AWP off-site reading. I'm absolutely honored. If you are free on Thursday March 5, 2026 at 7pm, come see this absolutely knockout roster of readers (and me) at Golden West Cafe

today i had surgery! i’m all looped on painkillers but i lived, bitch

One hundred years from now some poli-sci major at Ottawa U or McGill will write a thesis like “New World Order: How Canada’s Quiet Quest for Hegemony Began with the Chadification of a Prime Minister” and its supporting materials will just be reams of horny Carney memes like this

never any less nice and exciting to see people enjoy your book 😊

Ain't no party like a hot tub party. Pithead Chapel published my story Public Relations Professionals Hot Tub Night in their new issue! pitheadchapel.com/public-relat...

Loved this one

I am nostalgic for understimulation

happy pub day Stephanie! grab your copy of BURN

Reading Better to Beg and intensely amused by the “we maimed her Malm” line @keersteemack.bsky.social

Aaron’s an educator and nowhere more so than by example - he lets you know it’s ok to leave your heart on the page (whatever that looks like for you!) Happy pub to Aaron and TACOMA 😊

I finally watched The Long Walk! i wrote a little bit about that here! I hope you will take a look and consider subscribing to my newsletter if you are interested in hearing me talk about other art! Xoxo gossip girl

Hi folks - quick note We received a higher than average volume of submissions last call window If you are waiting on a response for a submission from last window, they're still in queue and being considered for next issue Thanks for your patience xo

Don’t blame anybody for not being able to do it. We can’t really afford to be doing it either, but we are. It’s not the superior choice, just a choice. If you don’t mind the ask, we’d love for people to check out the site and consider an online order tonight or this weekend Eveninghousebooks.com

Very happy to say that this year we’ll publishing poetry EPs (micro-collections, if you will) by Rachel King, Lotte Mitchell Reford, and Stephan Antoine Viau, @paulwrites7.bsky.social and @lyfaulk.bsky.social. malarkeybooks.com/news/2026/1/...

Leading a generative writing workshop next month on humor. Hoping it will provide some much-needed lightness. bendinggenres.com/register/lau...
