COVER REVEAL: I'm super excited to share the cover of my story collection After Last Call, coming out next April from @malarkeybooks.bsky.social. And thanks to @mrwojorising.bsky.social for the amazing work he did designing the cover 💙 Pre-order link: malarkeybooks.com/store/afterl...

This is the type of announcement I want to see when I open up the internet. 🔥

I have a flash essay + photo ("Marigolds for Matt Trujillo") about biking, bike accidents, and confronting the reality of only being alive because of someone else's death years earlier, out in the new issue of Steam Ticket. Issue 29 is now online (and in print): www.uwlax.edu/academics/de...

😳 How am I three days behind on the new Vince Staples record?!

LOVE this one today from Steff Sirois, and we think you should love it with us! "Eventually, we’ll watch a wrecking ball smash through the curved glass of the sunroom like it never mattered. The last time I was in there, you still had a body..." https://www.havehashad.com/egup9

These Erin Dorney Scrabble Poems are so great and inventive and fun. "These visual poems were conceptualized by hand on a Scrabble board using a standard bag of 100 tiles." and they come with a couple of bonus HAD poems! https://www.havehashad.com/ft5su

Got interviewed by one of my favorite writers @anniejowrites.bsky.social for one of my fave places Short Story Long @aaronburch.bsky.social

That feeling when you finish writing a new story, so fucking good.

I'm still hoping to raise more for this as we still don't have my parents and brother back into a permanent home. The costs of doing anything right now are so high and this has been extremely hard. Any donations or shares are greatly appreciated!

For sale: baby boots, freshly unearthed.

In our 7th grade science class, we had to write a story about a natural phenomena for a sequence on Earth Science. I wrote about how a battle between Liu Kang and Shang Tsung caused the eruption of Mt. Vesuvius.

If you DO find these kinda interesting... here's the Short Story, Long stats (subscribers, submissions, money in, money out...) for this last year

Tucked away in a rural pocket of Minnesota, aka feeling very much at home surrounded by green and water. I've come to love Albuquerque a lot, but I feel like I can breathe here in a way I can't in a high desert, and the week I'm here never seems long enough.

Constantly floored by the incredible writing I read on a regular basis online from places such as HAD, Hex, and Burial.

"On Christmas Eve, I picked up a book called The Butter Did It, the first in a series called Mashed Potato Mysteries. I fell asleep when I got to the part where a rich woman fell down her marble stairs..." @ivygrimes.bsky.social offers a treat today, hilarious and horrid, just how we like it! 🍊🥃👇

We have actually just two or three copies of the first edition still available: malarkeybooks.com/store/terres...

today from Vic Nogay! https://www.havehashad.com/g6rgg

Hello writers! I’m going to start a recurring Friday happy hour zoom space to build community and share work, thoughts on writing, etc! Low stakes, zero pressure to show up, but let me know if you may be interested in popping by sometimes & I’ll send you a link 💗

Happy to have a new micro at the very cool @somewordslit.bsky.social!! somewords.boards.net/thread/132/e...

cool new issue of Cutleaf, guest edited by @kimmagowan.bsky.social and Michelle Ross. The stories were collaboratively written by @emilyrinkema.bsky.social and @dawnsteffler.bsky.social, Amanda Ellard and Madison Porter, and @dianelp.bsky.social and Ania Payne.

Most hype I've been to see a film in a minute. Originally a super limited release, and I don't think it's available to buy/stream anywhere.

"Big Man, star of Big Man, Bigger Man, Big Man: Biggest, and Still Big, Still Man, sadly passed away last night in a dog-sledding-related incident." I don't want to spoil too much of "Big Man, Dead at 37" by @spencerwriting.bsky.social. Hilarious and tender, wonderfully written. Don't miss it! 👇

I’ve got some copies of my latest chapbook, My Little Sister! 10 poems about a fictional narrator and their sibling. DM me if you want a copy ($5 by PayPal)!

Ending the semester the same way it began, watching 4 movies in theaters, one showing of which will be an unofficial double feature (Mermaid with @johnnypemberton.bsky.social + Tiki Tiki). The Guild in Albuquerque has hands down some of the best programming around.

Never actively looking for anything, but I always keep an eye out for Why? records. The owner of this new shop in ABQ started chatting about Anticon when I brought it up, and then mentioned bumping cLOUDDEAD (@doseone.bsky.social, Yoni, and @oddnosdam.bsky.social) earlier this week too.

Strongly suspect I'd land on a day that I threw up on my Simba stuffed animal I dragged everywhere by the tail, and then I'd probably run up the steps from the basement at some point because I thought E.T. would eat my legs and leave me there to die. Normal kid shit.

Very absurd moment trying to place a scene from a movie with what the movie actually was, knowing I watched it during peak pandemic, and now realizing it's the lake scene from Teeth.

A very potent mix here.

They’re* saying I have a weird new parenting story in the super rad @somewordslit.bsky.social today! *I am

Finishing a final paper for my major texts in rhetoric course analyzing a speech. Nerd that I am, I jumped to Kikuchiyo "training" (aka, demoralizing) the farmers in Seven Samurai. However, I did almost use this clip of Dustin Hoffman killing it in Hook: www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZjAB...

The childlike desire to go throw a frisbee in a big field.

I wrote a piece about the origins of may day a few years ago. About the immigrants and a formerly enslaved woman who built a movement to abolish their oppressors: the state and capitalism. www.tangledwilderness.org/features/hur...

New short essay (about biking and confronting the death of other riders) and a photo out in Steam Ticket next Monday. 👀

Also at some point I'm going to write a story called The Man From Hokkaido, because all morning I've had it stuck in my head that we had a teacher from Japan who came to hang out at our elementary school for like half the year, and he was a sweet guy. The story won't be about much of that at all...

Friend's fam has been in town for a long weekend and I need to hunker my ass down to finish writing an imaginary interview with Quintilian (for a class) while they are in Santa Fe this afternoon. It's wild that I can resurrect him with my imagination and he has such a hatred for AI.

Something we don’t address enough is how many people, especially adults, do not have a working imagination.

I wonder if they have ever built a Duplex? cc: @misternagel.bsky.social

That feeling when the dentist didn't shave enough off the new filling and your bite is misaligned. That feeling is awful.

new poem out today via @burialmagazine.bsky.social !! 🐋🍜💜 burialmagazine.neocities.org/thetwo
