I should not drink a fourth cup of coffee. But I want to!

New Mountain Goats day is always a good day!

When we say Republican politicians are categorically evil, this is what we mean.

"The art school debt trap persists because it benefits everyone but the students"

If you are in Southern California, you won't want to miss this lineup on Nov. 22!

Reminder that a couple saturdays from now, I'll be reading with some fantastic readers like AJ Brown, @burialmagazine.bsky.social @melissacuisine.bsky.social @romyewing.bsky.social & @dtrobbins.bsky.social! We'll see you there LA!

I'm, uh, launching a Substack about magic the gathering? substack.com/@ajohnnyspri...

I swear to God, these fuckers better not trade for skubal or skenes next

Holy hell. Best world series?

The World Series is almost over, and I'm bemoaning another season of asking why my team is as much of a trainwreck as it is (LAA). If your team has no chance of celebrating tonight, why not spend Halloween with a sixty page chap about lower level ball?

There's just a few days left and we've already raised a combined $410 for the ACLU! I'm planning to donate on behalf of all of us -- any ideas for a good collective name? The Writing Weirdos?

I think I'm going to start saying "George was never my scene" more often in response to things I'm not really into

Can't wait for It's Lit! Literary Magazine Submissions workshop tomorrowwww 😍

Guess I'll finish going over final revisions of my Arte Moreno essay tomorrow, lol

Sorry braves fans. He's going to the hall as a dodger for sure now

18

They can't walk him a fifth time

That line drive!!!

Shout out to Marlins Man. A real fan of the game

And they walked him again???

I hate the dodgers and this is an incredible baseball game

Incredibly bummed about the skattebo injury, but I would find it incredibly funny if he spent his downtime proving to everyone that he's not a lunkhead. He should get really into, like, obscure French cinema or something.

Literature is back bay-bee!

JAKE's been hungry. He's even (reluctantly) put a napkin on his lap in preparation to nosh down on some writing (mostly figuratively) TOMORROW. Subs open 10/20.

Belated hot take, but I think Severance might be majorly overrated guys. I'm like a season and a half in and wondering why everyone likes this show so much

As someone with a personal axe to grind against Bari Weiss & The Free Press, this was pretty cathartic to watch.

LA people! We’ve got copies of SILK & SINEW at @vromansbookstore.bsky.social in Pasadena and @barnesandnoble.com in Glendale! Get em while they’re hot off the @badhandbooks.bsky.social press.

My hot take is that none of these are structure. These are all recipes that describe structure. Structure is the Salt, Fat, Acid Heat of writing. 3-Act/Hero's Journey etc are recipes. You can make great meals without using a recipe if you understand the principles of structure.

Look at it 🙂 Preorder it 🙂

Good morning. Here is the cover, designed by @johnchrostek.com, for @trentbwrites.bsky.social’s forthcoming novel, The Walls Are Closing In On Us, which you can, which you should because it’s good, preorder now! malarkeybooks.com/store/thewal...

God, our redzone offense is ASS!

Thank you so much @haydensferryreview.bsky.social for this BOTN nom! This story went through many iterations, much like my own coming out story, and though it is fiction, it holds a special place in my heart 🌈. Congrats fellow nominees! read it here: haydensferryreview.com/sumitra-singam

As one of the countless people *actually* cancelled by Bari Weiss, via her vast favor-trading networks of fellow nepotistic gatekeepers in media and publishing, I think both of these asinine dipshits should go fuck themselves.

Well, I guess I'm done considering CBS a credible news source 🫤

Who's ready to send JAKE some weird shit? General subs open 8/20

It’s publication day!!

The only good kind of LLM!

Jam packing my publishing schedule with dope venues I don't think I can mention I'm in yet (1 fiction, 2 CNF) 🥳

Just realized it's been like five years since I first started seriously publishing, and my first of those stories has still never made it online? Not sure what I should do about that, if anything, but it feels weird as a writer whose work is mostly on the web.

You didn't think JAKE forgot about BOTN, did you?😉

i don't mean to single out baseball fans here, because you see this in lots of fan communities, but in certain corners people talk as though baseball is real. they think all the players are real people and the stadiums are places you can actually visit. to each their own, but that cannot be healthy

Psst. Is your team eliminated from playoff contention like my miserable Halos? Now's a great time to pick up Short Relief, my chapbook released earlier this year by @406press.bsky.social!

Oh god, I just wrote a personal essay about a magic the gathering card. What am I doing?
