@aaronburch.bsky.social publication day (congrats!) = @havehashad.com submission call = generosity and celebration converging beautifully in and for the writing community. QED

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

how dare you use karaoke for evil

No Kings includes Draft Kings

Q: How much is the NFL paying Bad Bunny for the privilege of playing football during and after his concert? A: In what can only be described as a display of unprecedented magnanimity, Bad Bunny has allowed the NFL to showcase their sport at his concert for free.

I’ve got a shorty Odyssey in here, as relayed by Homer’s most annoying but insightful friend (originally written for @notquitewrite.com 💛)

ICE is now responsible for 66% of the homicides in Minneapolis this year.

They are removing any and all doubt that it can’t happen to you.

HAD carving out a real niche with heartbreaking dog-related micros

Posts from Minneapolis residents read like they'll be read in voiceover in a Ken Burns-like doc one day

A VERY generous benefactor has donated entries to the upcoming Not Quite Write Prize for Flash Fiction to support writers on low income! If you've always wanted to enter but struggled to find the means to do so, please email us at [email protected] 1/2

What a year, huh? Lemon, it’s January 9th.

I don't like the death squads

Look, I'm sure that Nolan's adaptation of "The Odyssey" will be fun, but I highly doubt it will be as good as the original.

"You’ll be on the edge of your seat waiting for me, because you’ve heard way too many singers screech and waver and get me all wrong. What catastrophe awaits this time?"

A chip on my shoulder. A roastie on my shoulder. A baked tattie on my shoulder. Some mash on my shoulder. A hash brown on my shoulder. A potato cake on my shoulder. A tater tot on my shoulder. A patatas Brava on my shoulder. Gratin on my shoulder. Dauphinoise on my shoulder. A pierogi on my shoulder

I just want to see Taskmaster live in my city. 🥲 why must I suffer!

In young Fred Savage’s room, there is a Santa Claus art project on the closet door, as well as what appears to be a nutcracker, abe a snowman, and possibly a small lit tree. His grandfather hands him a book wrapped in gold paper. Just like Diehard, the Princess Bride is a secret Christmas movie. 🎄

History teacher watching The American Revolution = Ken Burns ASMR

Poe? The Baltimore Ravens’ raven mascot is named Poe?? This changes everything

This is so perfect.

Particularly cruel that the two-year-old has entered the "Mommy no sing" phase here on the cusp of Christmas music season

Not a short thread…

Okay so we're doing this. (Again!) Up for a writing challenge? Join me in the 20th annual Short Story Challenge by @nycmidnight.bsky.social on January 23rd! Learn more at nycmidnight.com/ssc

I came to this competition via @chillsubs.bsky.social and their Contest Calculator. True to the advertising, Foofaraw were crystal clear about their process, down to a spreadsheet detailing where entry money ended up being spent. That alone felt like a win…though winning is very nice, too.

At the end of the day, the only real gatekeeper in the arts is debt.

No joke, one of my greatest life decisions:

I’m sorry, what?! @foofarawpress.bsky.social

My wife once asked me what drugs writers take, this is my answer @havehashad.com

If you like yelling about misuse of the passive voice, THIS IS IT.

@havehashad.com has ruined me

In my culture it is extremely disrespectful to subject another person to AI-generated art or language.

The camo print Harris Walz trucker hat in the bin at Goodwill is a whole Hemingway story.

Hang on… Erewhon isn’t a Pokémon?
