Bruiser is legit one of the best places going, so I’m pumped to be there for the second time. Thanks @bruisermag.com!

Got a new something up in @bruisermag.com today.

All my text messages with my wife are just us asking each other when do you want to eat.

Yes! Make your art the only way you are able to make it because you are the only one who can make it that way. The rest is the rest.

A new sentimental flash from me at the amazing @lostballoon.bsky.social

we fed it trash & asked if it was full & made it beg for more TRASH MAN by @mpershan.bsky.social www.bruisermag.com/Pershan_TrashMan

i think this is as “viral” as a burial piece has gone on the nightsky app or whatever this is called…really thrilled you folks get such goodness today with this poem

best way one can possibly begin this week is with this piece. imo. just imho

Read my new story about life and death at a community garden. GOD OF THE COMMUNITY GARDEN at the one and only @burialmagazine.bsky.social

This week on hex we've got something truly special for you all. Hilarious, surreal, meta, poetic-- the one and only @burialmagazine.bsky.social gives us a bestial two-hander! So stoked to see Z.H. at play (on many levels) in this fantastic flash script! Don't miss it, gang! 🐍🐈

Just saying hi. Hi. Stay good, friends. Stay good friends. Later.

Just reread this - one of the funniest stories I stumbled across last year. Feel duty bound to share!

I read Come Eat At O'Houlihan's Because Of What We Have by Dan Weaver in @burialmagazine.bsky.social in which we learn why we should go eat at O'Houlihan's (it's because of what they have) nightofthehats.blogspot.com/2026/01/i-re...

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that the most important, political, & revolutionary thing any of us can do in 2026 is retaking control of our own brains. Which, to me, means: unplugging from the algorithm as much as possible. Instead: read books, go to a museum, think for yourself, be still.

I have a new story in one of the very best mags on earth @hexliterary.bsky.social. This is for the 90s kids and recovering addicts and everyone else. Love you.

All your notes must have a title. If there is one that is untitled that is not allowed. There was a loophole that some in the past had exploited by having the title of their note be “Untitled” or “untitled”. This loophole has been closed.

Fascism and diarrhea are both really hard to spell.

A truly great short story tells you everything you need to know about it from its very first line. This is one of them. Check out "Storing Dinosaurs" by @supernaturalfeat.com in our latest issue! bit.ly/3XY7fMa

kind mention of Dan Weaver's hex story "A Home Run" in Myna Chang's @mynachang.bsky.social Spec Flash Roundup ! 👇

My favorite facebook page is a guy who posts behind-the-scenes Star Wars photos but also mentions how tired he is. #canrelate

The snaking sentences in @supernaturalfeat.com's "Storing Dinosaurs" seem like they can go off in any direction at any moment, much like the story itself. Liked this so much I even hunted down Dan on Bluesky to get this submission back (longish story) but glad it all worked out in the end.

My story Storing Dinosaurs is in the new issue of @yourimpossiblevoice.com. Please give it a read! Thanks to @alvinlu.bsky.social for giving this one a chance. yourimpossiblevoice.com/storing-dino...

Forgot that I posted this a couple of months before @havehashad.com accepted/published said piece. Thank you Buddy Hield for wearing the wrong shorts and @aaronburch.bsky.social for understanding the shorts. www.havehashad.com/hadposts/our...

I have a story in this issue called Storing Dinosaurs! Pumped!

I haven't been on here much lately but I wanted to share a new piece called At SeaTac. It's out today in the first issue of Twisted Tongue Press. They've been great to work with and everything looks beautiful and this issue has some real heaters. Thanks! twistedtonguepress.com/fiction/atse...

It’s not all that different from pooping at home

icymi: i wrote this story. people seem to like it. if you haven’t read it, maybe you will like it too. biggest thanks to @xraylitmag.bsky.social and especially to @joshuahebburn.bsky.social

Silverfuck -> Sweet Sweet -> Luna This is elite

wonderful. such a tonic. no notes.

love this absolute moonshot of humor & joy from Dan Weaver @supernaturalfeat.com — read “A Home Run,” new on hex today !!! 👇🥎🏟️🔥

To act in this world is to put yourself in moral peril, to shake the foundations of your own philosophy, sometimes overwhelmingly so. In such times, when you're no longer sure which way is right, where do you go? Who do you become? New video out now: youtu.be/qJJzA-YWc3s

This is (and I mean this in the best way possible) like if the “Joe Buck welcome to the top of the 47th inning” tweet was stretched into flash fiction. Absolutely masterful

Pumped to be in hex! What a day!

man @supernaturalfeat.com just doesn’t miss. Big big Dan Weaver fan here. Read this.

Poison will one day be appointed king. In Coupon Country, you can find anything. COUPON COUNTRY by @neonpajamas.bsky.social www.bruisermag.com/niespodziany...

“And that pitcher still a little weepy out there still moping like a bastard. He’s a bastard that guy that pitcher. Good guy though, does a lot for his community…” Oh man, the voice here hits just right. 🧢⚾️

Pumped to be in hex! What a day!

"Back it goes that seems like a long one! Still going! Still up there just going and going!" Call'em Dan "Hittin' Dingers" Weaver, @supernaturalfeat.com comes in hot this week with a hilarious, perfectly voiced piece just in time for the end of the season! Obsessed with "A Home Run," up now on hex!

“Noses arrange neat lines of white powder onto antique mirrors.” This is so good.

"She refused to on mysterious grounds. She would not tell me the grounds, is what I mean, hence their mysteriousness; I was to infer them, these grounds." Also the "barnyardy" odor. Also that too. And additionally also the toe licking dancer. @burialmagazine.bsky.social is just doing jazz drums.

@iamchrisscott.bsky.social is so good. This one might be my favorite yet.

"Now though, here at this rodeo, I know about rodeos. I’ll tell you about them but you won’t get it. It will be impossible for you. But I’ll tell you anyway." (Don’t Worry, This is My Second Rodeo; Let Me Tell You How Rodeos Work // @supernaturalfeat.com) Link: dishsoap-quarterly.com/6-3-25/rodeo/

I read this yesterday and then I was thinking about it all night. Really torturous stuff. I have claustrophobia and airplanes can be a not-fun time for me, mostly when there is "no end in sight" like sitting on a tarmac or something. So this was perfect nightmare fuel, but also a great story. Read!
