Thrilled to have three micros in @wigleaf.bsky.social!!!

100% chance I reply "Stop" to one of my boss's texts before the midterms

Knock it off, President Trump

"The Gunshine State" by @joeyhedger.bsky.social in @variantlit.bsky.social is one of the best short stories I've read in some time. Really, really, really great.

This is how I want to be fossilized too

I’ve decided to start declining rejections from lit mags. Actually my story is a good fit for your publication. You‘re wrong.

An entire administration of the most self-assured dipshits in the country Just Saying Whatever

I would pay an obscene amount of money for just 5 uninterrupted minutes of Elon Musk describing in his own words what he believes to be the teachings of Jesus

No big deal, just the thing I’ve been working on for two years and then this asshole waltzes in and takes all the credit. Cool cool cool 🙄

Commenting “This is what I looked like when I was a baby” on my friends’ baby photos

A little nervy to share my FIRST EVER published verse poem! I feel so honored and lucky that @burialmagazine.bsky.social thought it decent enough to feature it! This one was inspired by a @toddedillard.bsky.social post! Todd is a phenom poet!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THX 4 LOOKING! <3

Quick, before Presidents’ Day is over

I can’t get too worked up about the 2028 Democratic nominee yet honestly. It’s gonna be like Eva Mendes or something inexplicable like that. I have a bunch of chores around the house to keep me busy.

Can already tell Nirvanna The Band The Show The Movie is going to be the kind of thing all my friends beg me to watch for like 5 years before I finally get around to it and wonder why I didn’t sooner

Star Wars and Star Trek are the same thing. Disagree if you want but that is what I believe.

Absolutely loved “Thunder From A Clear Blue Sky” by @justinwriter.bsky.social. A strange and haunting blend of speculative, time travel, geopolitics, and surreality. Extremely my shit. Check it out: bookshop.org/p/books/thun...

The 7ish days or so after Charlie Kirk’s murder was probably the weirdest shit I’ve ever seen in my life

Poem: "The Woman Who Could Not Live With Her Faulty Heart" by Margaret Atwood

So are the authorities working this case just massively fucking up or what

Seven whole Scream movies wow

You have to be a pretty twisted horror fan to understand the importance of and celebrate Friday the 13th

Classic example of a good line made great by simply superimposing it against a black and white photo of Joseph Gordon-Levitt

This is the good shit right here

I’ve decided to start believing in hell

I love replying “Stop” to 20 text messages every day ☺️

They will see us Wuthering such great Heights

Every day I’m Wuthering

Just passed Karoline Leavitt on the sidewalk lol. Love this city.

I've got a new story out in @variantlit.bsky.social called "The Gunshine State." It's kinda about hating your hometown from someone who kinda hates his hometown and kinda also loves it. Thanks so much to the editors for giving it a home!!! variantlit.com/the-gunshine...

I am going to eat my pillow

Early frontrunner for most pleasant surprise of the year: Trent Reznor playing Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence" on the piano at last night's Nine Inch Nails show

At the Nine Inch Nails concert reading the Nine Inch Nails wikipedia page

I still see National Guard patrolling our streets pretty much daily, doing nothing at all (especially in this weather lol). Just another humiliation ritual and punishment for being a plurality Black city that will never vote for any of these Republican freaks.

I love writing and editing my little stories

hello bluesky. right now it is actually nightsky. which is my favorite time to read short fiction. like this story here

fight the slop factory by reading this. which is the opposite of slop. imo. imho.

Watching the All-American Halftime Show on my severely cracked Android for the 7th time while my wife divorces me

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

The thing the UK does where they just bully their prime minister into quitting like every 6 months……… how can we do that here

Chris is a kind of writer that I love. I know this because every time he has a new story I love it. This story is no exception. It is funny and surprising and wonderful. Way to go, Chris.

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

*seeing a banner that reads THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE* that had better fucking not be about me

I don’t have cable and am not watching the Super Bowl. Please include a detailed description of every commercial here before joking about it. thanks

Hypothetically say the US government wanted to disclose they had definitive proof of aliens but instead of a jarring, globally disruptive formal announcement, instead opted to partner with America’s most trusted filmmaker to package this historic news into a digestible narrative format… just sayin..

Using AI to write your stories is rightly frowned upon but I think if you discovered someone you like, someone who you follow on Bluesky and is really nice maybe, has been doing it this whole time or really only using AI to write ~50% of his stories, that wouldn’t be a big deal right? Just wondering
