New story from Terrance Wedin on Short Story, Long! In the intro, I shoutout @kevinmkearney.bsky.social's "The Sons of Jesus' Son," his review of Nick Rees Gardner & Michael Deagler, in thinking how this story feels in that convo & lineage (while hoping Wedin takes that as the compliment I mean).

writing advice from Jason Molina

found a wormhole, jumped in, and then wrote about it for @slate.bsky.social

Another exquisite Small Press Nite this weekend at Book Catapult with extraordinary readings by Manuel Paul López, @lexikentmonning.bsky.social, @jacjemc.bsky.social, and @dtrobbins.bsky.social.
