DOOOOO IIIIIITTTTTTTT 💀🖤

I've never had the pleasure of visiting Iowa, but one of my stories, "Summer Baby" has! In all its glory, as performed by Ashley Schaeffer during 2025's Des Moines Art Festival! Thanks @alkratz.bsky.social! <3 Originally published in @smokelong.bsky.social ... <3 www.youtube.com/watch?v=3mWS...

I felt overdue to write a review, and this chapbook by Christopher Nelson, part of the latest New Michigan Press / @eldiagram.bsky.social series, kept me thinking and talking. You might like it, too. wp.me/p4PD79-2qI

Good idea from #BeckyLTuch #litmagnews regarding editorial statement of a clear & formal retraction policy: "We seek to publish a range of views, some of which may at times be controversial. We will never remove work from publication. We welcome rejoinders and thoughtful response essays." 💡

Meanwhile, back at my @marchxness.bsky.social bracket... stayin' alive but failin' to thrive Good luck in round 2 everybody!!! Vote without rhythm? then you'll never learn!!! #fatboyslim #marchdanceness

This @kjmoulton.bsky.social essay = stately procession through fantastic dance joy of #hotinherre by Nelly. "He proved that if you mix a little bit of (ah, ah) unabashed particularity with a little bit of (ah, ah) joyful dexterity, you can pack the dancefloor ..." <3 Still time to vote!

A pinkies-up top A+ author photo! @angermonsoon.bsky.social explores Le Tigre + current climate in @marchxness.bsky.social as round 1 concludes. Quoth he: "The real question, the only question for me in this tournament: How can I transform my anger into joy?How do others do this?" Still time 2 vote!

This Robert Puccinelli essay on OutKast's work is a stroll filled with landmarks of beauty + intellect. RP is an amiable eyewitness to HEY YA's debut. Spun up with Kate Bush, Buzzcocks, Knuckles, and a spyglass full of yes. A joy to read. Great song pairing by the #marchdanceness committee!

Love this #marchxness @sejalshahwrites.bsky.social essay on 1 Thing by Ameriie: "And yet, there is something about the thinginess of a thing. What’s your thing? What’s mine?" Evokes James Brown and Bootsy Collins. Find. Your. One. Great song/vid/essay combo! marchxness.com/1strd-outkas...

It's been a challenge keeping up w/the torrent of essay magnificence pouring out of @marchxness.bsky.social these first 8 days of the month. 64 topflight essays in barely over a week. I forgot there's even basketball happening. Hope to read what I missed this weekend. <3 marchxness.com

Happy March Xness, everyone! I have an essay on LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem & apocalypse nostalgia. I would really appreciate your vote--the longer I stay in the game, the more eyes I get on the essay. Everybody just have a good time. marchxness.com/thegames#/1s...

the best part about dune is that fatboy slim music video

Perma-fave xness essayist, Raquel Gutiérrez, burns it down for Hercules & Love Affair: "You were competing with graduates from the Ivy League and loving language wasn’t enough to power you through anymore. Foucault. Derrida. Weber. Butler. This shit was hard, man. You thought you could handle hard."

I'm finding this site to be like going shopping for a few essentials at a new supermarket and I, well, I hate the superlong user names. I'm a big baby whatever. I'll keep trying not to be. Good luck with that, Anne.

marchxness day 2 round 1 final scores! Voting in live for day 3!

I loved Irene Cooper's #Danceness dive into Jewel's "genre flailing" on "Intuition" and yet stacked against it is the iconic (do not say this lightly!) Christopher Walken dance video for Fatboy Slim's "Weapon of Choice." Whew: marchxness.com/1strd-fatboy...

Weapon of Choice NARROWLY beats Intuition for me but my kid went with Jewel, possibly because I lectured her about Christopher Walken's filmography until she begged me to shut up. marchxness.com/1strd-fatboy...

(that's @aeweisgerber.bsky.social delivering a film masterclass on "Weapon of Choice"!)

Catching up on formal introductions to recent writings. Here are some thoughts on "Poor People," first published at Poverty House with thanks to ed. Sheldon Lee Compton

This @stateofkate.bsky.social lyric essay = deep meditation finding some truth, consolation, + hope by looking long at a hard, glaring work of art. It's just: perfection. Have a read when you get a chance. Mad good essaying.

I had to remember how to use WordPress, but here's why I've been super quiet with publications. Coming out of it. Thanks to my subscribers for staying in contact. wordpress.com/post/annewei...

March Danceness is coming @marchxness.bsky.social and I have an essay in THE BIG DANCE. Cheers, dears.

It is Lent, and time once again to take stock of who I am and how much more there is for me to do. Here is an absolutely delightful poem about the GOAT of all forks in the road, whatever your faith, I hope you get a bang out of it ❤

The bracket of choice.
