simply put, this poem by bobby vanecko took my breath away (+ other clichés). it’s called ‘learning american sign language poem’—i like poems that are about one thing and also everything. very tough to do that. but bobby did it here splendidly. read it! burialmagazine.neocities.org/learningamer...

"Everything in this country was understood backward; the more recent the arrival, the more American, the truly exceptional." If you really wanna hear my voice, I did a 2-minute radio reading of Daydreamers for @kalwradio.bsky.social 91.7 FM's "New Arrivals" show. Thank you, Lisa Morehouse!

Someone was trying to take a portrait of their two fave Chickens, and this happened.

Lots of people (& dogs) enjoying dark, cavernous space of this basilica at night. Painted by Anthonie de Lorme of Rotterdam, 1660.

Smitten by this mirror portrait of Hans Richter in Southbury, c. 1969, as photographed by Inge Morath.

BTW - Malarkey Books still has my book, Still Alive, on sale for $13 (!!!!), so if you've been on the fence about taking the plunge, now is the time to do it for cheap. It was longlisted for the 2025 Dublin Literary Awards and some folks say it's good. <3 malarkeybooks.com/store/stilla...

Hello! Some new spooky speculative flash from me in the new issue of @theargylelitmag.bsky.social out today!

“Black and white movies that are not boring” is an annoying concept for someone whose favorite movies are mostly black and white ones

Really excellent—directed by Leslie Megahey, who also made “Schalcken the Painter” m.youtube.com/watch?v=p9Aq...

Witnesses Assumed Charlie Kirk Shooter Was Just Ordinary Gunman On School Campus

Big thanks to Ivy Grimes @ivygrimes.bsky.social for talking with me about my upcoming, debut novel 'The Veldt Institute'! More Info: double--negative.com/003-the-veld... Pre-Order: asterismbooks.com/product/the-...

Charlie Kirk was a man so deeply committed to freedom of speech and enlightened, reasonable debate that you are not allowed to quote anything he said ever again.

my predictions (most to least likely): 1) inter-maga groyper (or Epstein truther) 2) terrorgram/O9A 3) rando with incoherent politics 4) rationalist cult of some variety 5) ai psychosis 6) inside job 7) an actual liberal / leftist

Proofs for The Parson in Jubilee have been approved, and the world will have another book by Jean Paul in English, my translation, in a few months:

Someone shot up my kid's school today, and our governor is paying tribute to a guy who thought that is an acceptable price to pay for having the Second Amendment. Jared Polis has failed Colorado.

Whether or not you support political violence won’t change where we’ve come to, nor where we’ve been for some time in this country. I am quite taken aback by how many people only invoke the term ‘political violence’ when it happens to a person with power. It’s political violence the other way too.

some of y’all are more addicted to righteousness than justice

this is a killer

Watch me read from @guillermostitch.bsky.social’s new book THE COAST OF EVERYTHING, which is, in some ways, a series of nested novels—a pot boiler, a Dickensian tale, a satire, a speculative journey, and more—that add up to lesson (and warning) on the unassailable cultural power of storytelling.

i love this

And there is a Catskill eagle in some souls that can alike dive down into the blackest gorges, and soar out of them again

and if you're a publisher, and you want to be certain that you're publishing only the finest, most epoch-defining works of art? well, then you should publish my second short story collection, THE EYES OF SAINT LUCIA

"Bomarzo, my God, what a novel!" Michael Robbins reviewed Manuel Mujica Lainez's Bomarzo for @bookpostusa.bsky.social "There is no reason Bomarzo should be less well known in English than Hopscotch or One Hundred Years."

Ok so in case yall missed the memo like I did. David Lehman, series editor of Best American Poetry is a Zionist ass. Literally feel embarrassed that I wound up in this situation. I was literally the only person of color in a room of 50+ people. It was terrifying. #poetry #bestamericanpoetry
