I wrote this story!!! 🤘🐼🤘

Huge thank you to @weightlessbooks.bsky.social for featuring our special Mindlessly Massive issue. Weightless was basically my way in to the world of litmags outside Clarkesworld and Asimov’s and to be listed alongside so many awesome mags is still a thrill.

✨story day!✨ i have a new piece out in @foofarawpress.bsky.social ‘s Mindlessly Massive March issue (from back before i joined the team!), “Basement Girls and Attic Gods”, that deals with addiction, human trafficking, and the incredible inner strength required to turn down a deal with a devil.

The time has officially arrived! Our inaugural Mindlessly Massive March! Double the stories; triple the word count; 150 pages of goodness! Stories will be available on the web throughout the month, but you can pick up a copy in print or digitally now! foofaraw.press/mindlessly-m...

This still blows my mind. Iran agreed essentially not to build any nuclear bombs. The US negotiators did not understand they had made that concession. Hours later they were bombed.

Was planning on using the last two days to catch up on submissions, agreements, payments, etc. but then one of my dogs went and ate a sewing needle so I spent that time anxiously watching her like a hawk instead… it’s out now, but I’m still a little on edge so we might be behind for a bit.

Bonus stuff! @bugthewriter.bsky.social Brian U. Garrison’s poetry recs at I Like This Poem @quotatelle.bsky.social Quotidian Bagatelle & @foofarawpress.bsky.social Foofaraw Frequencies @mattkendrick.bsky.social Welkin Prize winner list @shaenon.bsky.social Shaenon K. Garrity in @escapepod.org

The TBR stack continues to grow and I continue to ignore it in favor of the submission queue…

It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas

Matty's webcomic OBSTRUCTION returns with the first part of Chapter 2 next week!

I reviewed @djpoissant.bsky.social's wonderful story "Heart" in @foofarawpress.bsky.social's new short story review section. I of course want you to read my review, but more importantly I want you to read David's story, which took my breath away.

A review of “Heart” by David James Poissant, published in Cincinnati Review #Squinter #Reviews https://foofaraw.press/a-review-of-heart-by-david-james-poissant-published-in-cincinnati-review/#Squinter〄

The Media Guide will be returning to inboxes very shortly!

Has anyone out there seen OBEX? I just watched it, and I'm not too sure what I just watched - which normally means I just watched something I won't forget. Is it a lo-fi retro #Lynchian surrealist Zelda RPG amalgam? Dunno, but I think I like it 🤔 #Filmsky #Moviesky #scifi #surrealism

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

You need to read Kaleidotrope to be a writer. Hey, I don’t make the rules. 😉

I have an addiction and I can’t stop…

My new short story “When All You Have is a Time Portal…” is out today in Black Cat Weekly! 🥳 What if 100 million time-refugees suddenly showed up from 50 years ago, with no modern skills? And what if you could "encourage" them to skip another 50 years?.. blackcatweekly.com/b/vAHt0 #writing

My little micro fiction, "Tax Write-Offs For a Goblin Bounty Hunter" is live today! Excited to be published in Quotidian Bagatelle with @foofarawpress.bsky.social :D qb.foofaraw.press/tax-write-of...

Reminder to all you microfiction writers, we're doing a mini comp over at @quotatelle.bsky.social. Check it: qb.foofaraw.press/crumbs #writing #shortstories #drabble #contest

So, just throwing it out there that @hanmarin.bsky.social is offering some great editing services that I feel like are worth shouting out. They've done some betaing for me in the past, and it's been amazingly helpful, so very much encourage you taking a look at this! hmarinliterary.com

Radon Journal's fiction pay rate is increasing to 2.5¢/word! We are also implementing a $15 minimum for fiction to ensure micro-fiction authors are taken care of. Cheers to the authors who refuse to remain quiet or complicit.

I want to “host an awards show” for The Foofs when we announce winners in a month or so. Are there any writers we’ve published that would be open to filming themselves read the finalists and winner..? “And The Foofs goes to…”

We will be making submitting to this call easier and increasing our tiny advance soon as well.

Because I can’t keep a secret for shit… as of like three hours ago, @hanmarin.bsky.social has agreed to join us as our Master of Minutiae (aka novelette editor)! This is going to allow is to do so much more fun stuff IN PRINT! Already building a queue of stories for them to edit… muahahahaha

Hot off the press and heading to your favourite bookseller on March 17th…

The Foofaraw team continues to expand! 😻😻😻 Exciting things to come!

“The first issue of Quotidian Bagatelle, a new micro imprint focusing on fiction and poetry under 250, is a banger… Plos drops a dystopian nightmare. Our protagonist wakes up hundreds of years after entering cryostasis. The reason they’re woken up will send a chill down your spine” I’m speechless 🫣

Finishing up our best albums of 2025 (super late I know) and in an effort to tell all the cheapos out there to gimmie all their money, I wrote “card hold cash" instead of “cold hard cash" and I kind of think I like it... but don't want to look like an idiot…
