I don't think enough people read my story in Weird Lit Mag about a guy who gets a job peeing on servers in a data center to keep them from overheating. I think it's some of the sharpest satire I've written, and I'd love for you to check it out! www.weirdlitmag.com/fiction/a-wa...

I made an absolutely perfect ham and cheddar quiche today.

Here’s to a better 2026. See y’all next year.

The Lottery is here to stay, and people who call me a murderer for stoning children to death to ensure a bountiful harvest stand in the way of progress.

Sometimes when I kiss my cat, she kisses me back

I’ve hardly spent any time online for weeks. It’s kinda nice!

Just got played a game against a “1MAGA1776” on chess dot com, and don’t worry, I won

Just a reminder, y’all: If you love a book, especially an indie-published one, tell the world! They can always use the help. And the authors (and publishers) love hearing it🖤☠️

Look, I know there are a lot more consequential things going on in the world right now, but Charmin’s 12=48 mega rolls got smaller sometime this year without changing the equation. You can’t just make up new math.

“AI is already here” is such a stupid argument. It doesn’t have to be here. It can go away. And it will if enough people reject it. Especially people with influence in the industry. For example, people like the folks at Publishers Weekly.

When you miss a giant, bold "We are currently closed to submissions" on a guidelines page and submit something anyway, you're probably too tired to be doing this right now.

It's time for slower art. The constant churn and grind pushed by techno capitalism has reached its inevitable conclusion with AI slop. Let's make our best work and be patient with our process. Let's release art that's worth stopping for and savoring. Let's show each other what humans can do

one of the downsides of working as a baker is after a long day of baking delicious things, my wife says "now you must make those same delicious things again, but this time for me"

When the Christmas cheer is just too much

One thing I think I do better than most writers is manage fantasy football teams

"AI will make it so we don't have to work anymore!" yeah man, tech companies famously use their profits exclusively to benefit society, don't hoard wealth ever, and only make decisions in the interest of the general public. now i'm thirsty, brb, gonna go chug some snake oil.

This Lego piece is surprisingly lifelike

I’ve been working on my edits for this all week, and going back through it, it’s really good! Sometimes it can be hard to love your own work as a writer, but I’m really happy with my story in this one. I can’t wait to share it!

This has been a really hard last few months, and I'm thankful that there are people around me who love me and want to be there for me, even if I rarely take them up on it.

This reminds me of a story I wrote about spreading my dad’s ashes www.bulbculturecollective.com/read/1-thess...

I could really REALLY use some more orders and love for Issue 20. It's here. It's gorgeous. It comes with a free gorgeous bookmark. Priced fairly, printed beautifully, shipping immediately. 🖤🤍❤️ www.stanchionzine.com/product-page...

looking forward to the day when i'm not completely scatterbrained

Help my curtains were secretly a monster and they ate my cat

Echo looks very much like she’s asking me to read @renbolger.bsky.social ‘s book. Gotta listen to cat!

I start a new job as a baker tomorrow at a local bakery, so I got some last-minute practice making cardamom buns.

My wife had surgery the other day and I’m proud to report that the first thing she said when they woke her up from anesthesia is, “My husband is wonderful.”

Gotta say goodbye to my best friend for the past 8 years today. It’s the right time, but I’m broken beyond words. I love this creature more than I knew I was capable of. 💔

When you realize that the goal of most AI tech is to strip away expertise and create dependence on their tech, you really understand how insidious the whole industry is.

I don’t watch Fox News but it was on the TV in a hospital waiting room a few years ago when my mother-in-law was having surgery. It was a Hannity segment in which he advised viewers to buy up beef and put it in the freezer because the Green New Deal would outlaw beef. 1/4

I hope the lesson is that being principled and fighting to convince people of your beliefs is infinitely better than constantly moving your policy around to be slightly appealing to a broader group of people. You can change people’s minds if your ideas are good and you communicate them effectively!

Submitting to speculative markets, the guidelines are like, “We pay a half cent per word, 12 people will read it, and there is no chance of awards. We are accepting 4 stories and we have just received 2,581 submissions during our 2-day window.”

I don’t even have my insurance through the ACA and my premiums would increase by 24%, and my deductible and out-of-pocket max would go up too. Maybe it’s time to go back to the “hope I die quickly without too many hospital visits” healthcare plan.

I have one of Anna’s pieces, the Korok on the right. It lives on my Legend of Zelda shelf, and it’s really well made! If you’re wanting to do Christmas shopping and support small creators, what are you waiting for?

Extra hour of sleep? Ha. Try, extra hour of baseball

May I present the founding members of the girl pop group, Tigerbaby.

Generally I support the Oxford comma, but in this instance, I would like to read it as them giving him a golden crown slathered with ketchup

Another one of the best things about Midna was making music with her. She has always loved my voice, both singing and speaking, and regularly jumped up on the keyboard just to boop me while I was playing. Here’s a clip from a Wilco song, but Ben Folds songs were always her favorite.

One of my favorite memories with Midna is the time I took a selfie with her and she started yawning, but it looked like she had a big smile. I sent it in to Jones Soda and they chose it to print on a label. Lots of people think their pets are pretty enough to be models. I know for sure mine is.

Got some bad news yesterday for my sweet Midna so I’m just gonna hold her a lot today 💔

One of the downsides of living in WV is that the closest pet neurologist is about 150 miles away. If you wanted to know how my day is going.

I love this cat so much. She’s the sweetest creature I’ve ever met. I just want her to be okay.

I've been watching the Blue Jays for the last 4 years, and lemme tell ya, this year's team is *magic*

I'm so excited to be a part of the Tenebrous release schedule! I'd trust 10p with anything but song recommendations* *this isn't true, but I just felt like being needlessly hurtful

@jonbois.bsky.social watching football updates

Got some bad news at the vet today, spare a thought for sweet little Midna. Hoping that her problems can be fixed with a surgery

I just know if I turned in a manuscript where “food assistance runs dry but there is still money to build the golden ballroom,” any halfway decent editor would tell me I’m being too on the nose.

A cold morning like this is a great day to wear a scarf
