I'm a fan of bier season.

I think post offices are often as beautiful as churches.

I'm not even totally sure how to describe today's footnoted collage-y pastiche from a.d. but it feels kinda like one of those "only on HAD" pieces and I really love it a lot https://www.havehashad.com/uuksi

"In his youth, The Fan experienced joy. This was his first mistake." Absolutely SMITTEN to feature a new @davidmarinowrites.bsky.social story this week! If you've ever been The Fan (I've been The Fan), then you won't want to miss this incredible look at the cult of IP and fandom! Go get it!

I'm convinced that I've just read the best novel of 2025 and it should come as no surprise that @alexhigley.bsky.social wrote it

We have 17 slots left!

Luxurious two sandwiches for lunch.

to me this three sentence micro by Elena Zhang @ezhang77.bsky.social describes modern life so potently...like, it reveals this...big...mysterious force that we're caught in... ...or maybe it's just good writing ? read it for yrself, it's wonderful xraylitmag.com/baby-phones-...

Underrated writer. Enjoyed "Squabble & Other Stories" a lot and really ought to take Triangle Ray off the shelf sooner rather than later.

Theory that there's three kinds of writers: beginning of the story writers, end of the story writers, middle of the story writers.

Here are some nice mushrooms
