always excited for new Kate McIntyre! a real fun triptych. The Five Cows They buck invisible riders. They attend law school to properly sue their stink. They kill the townsfolk one night, very late, with andirons... https://www.havehashad.com/lx2yn

[at my second rodeo] listen up you ignorant sack of shit

My way of coping with all of the madness is focusing on what I can do to make my community a little bit stronger. So excuse me for all of the earnestness, but I wrote about ways we can all pitch in to support a thriving literary culture. lithub.com/how-to-be-a-...

So many women have been talking, writing and warning people of the dangerous ideologies and biases of tech in Silicon Valley, for decades, and it’s so infuriating that so many men (not OP here) just flat out ignore it and act surprised at the technofascists infecting it now

My mom: I’m having my rat girl summer. Me: what? My mom (she’s 85): you don’t know anything.

You would not believe the number of times I had to say scrotal ablation today

Things I say to my dog on a regular basis: “Where did you get this belly, did you bring it from home?” “Why do you need all these legs, this is too many.” “Give me all your feet.” “That’s such a big stretch for a small Brody.”

im not living through all this bullshit to *not* eat the neon green taco bell pie i can tell you that much

You guys, I know everything sucks but reading for a lit mag is really fun

what publications are putting out thoughtful, deeply reported work about this anti-trans crusade? certainly not the legacy pubs that usually fund thoughtful, deeply reported work

Who told my boy about the state of the world, who has given him this existential crisis

They should put Run Ronnie Run in the criterion collection

Anyway, thinking about They Thought They Were Free a lot lately

Doing a reading for the first time this weekend, who’s got advice? (doesn’t have to be good)

Here’s how I’m kicking off Latinx/Hispanic Heritage Month: I want you to read this one for the story, for my soul. However, today I say read it as a fuck you to every racist who’s called me a slur and every “too much Spanglish” 1-star review and every death threat after I won the Stoker. Sigo aquí.

My best friend is married to Tonic’s drummer, can confirm The Juice is a mystery

90s music + earnestness about what you like is a real arrow to my heart, and Emily Costa nails it all here so perfectly "We see many gray ponytails. Do you remember American Pie, Tonic asks. Of course we remember American Pie." https://www.havehashad.com/3qj5r

I will not be lectured about violence by the people funding genocide, by people who protect guns more than humans, who send troops into cities to chase working people across parking lots, whose entire agenda is divisiveness and cruelty.

very excited to get my first skull today! honored for my poem to be included in @havehashad.com - thanks @aaronburch.bsky.social 💀🗡️ www.havehashad.com/hadposts/sel...

Another new story out today! It's about road trips & Weezer & friends & karaoke & barhopping & storytelling (of course) & nostalgia (of COURSE) and it folds in on itself and gets super meta in a way that you're probably gonna find either fun or really really annoying. Read it and find out which!

Falling asleep to quiet ambient music and aggressive squeaking from a dog who doesn’t understand why it’s not playtime

I really find volunteer AI boosters pathetic. If your job depends on pretending AI is the wave of the future, okay, you're conning everyone for your own benefit, I can respect that. But falling for the con and cheerleading the digital snake oil on your own time? Come on now, have some self respect.

Wow, weird

Good morning Brody says it’s already hot

I have a memory of a scene in The Stand miniseries of Rob Lowe wearing a pink striped little uniform behind a pharmacy counter telling the guy from Coach what antibiotics are and as far as I can tell, my brain made this scene up

we have a micro by Benjamin Drevlow @thedrevlow.bsky.social ! i'm starting to believe that what most ppl want most out of life is to be rescused from it...this 178 word story embodies that feeling for me. check it out xraylitmag.com/late-to-work...

It’s over 80 in the Bay so it’s too hot to move

That kid’s having a great time tho

It’s important you know that when dogs get laser therapy they have to wear tiny goggles

live your life so the mere POSSIBILITY of your death doesn't unite people in a way we haven't seen since 9/11

No, you're not ineligible for the vaccine. Let me introduce you to the concept of lying.

Oh well. I am making my claim and every author should.

Shoutout to the delivery guy who didn’t want to pull up to the door marked deliveries at the vet clinic because he thought “that’s where the ambulances go.”

it is an unassailable truth that burning the flag looks cool and no executive order can ever change that
