I've taken the reins for this month's #Mondettes - it's my end-of-year round-up of some of my favourites from 2025, also known as the MAFFIAS!!! mondettes.substack.com/p/december-2...

Remember what Method Man said: Wu-Tang is for the children/Thanksgiving is for the Pilgrims/These thumbs are for counting ones/and this middle is for your feelings.

Honked at the mayor. I voted for the guy, but use your turn signal, bro.

Almost time for the 10-year anniversary reading and we can’t be more thrilled to have @adamg.bsky.social back at A Novel Idea this Saturday. Come by from 5-7 and let’s have a blast!

After a fairly eloquent description of the plot by yours truly this morning, one of my students is indeed watching 2001: A Space Odyssey, a night that will change his destiny.

New Summer Walker lp has major repercussions in my manuscript since two of the main characters use her music to communicate with each other. This is unexpected. I’ll be in the lab all weekend. music.apple.com/us/album/fin...

Volunteered to let the phlebotomy students next door practice on me. Felt a little woozy and irritable, but their technique was solid. I am an educator.

I put some roasted apples in my butternut squash soup because I’m an absolute wildman.

Most adults don’t know shit about dinosaurs.

Last feature for the Zoom 10 year anniversary is chapbook extraordinaire, @seanennis.bsky.social Tomorrow’s the day to see 7 Thirty West authors shine their brightest. Register now and see you tomorrow night! us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

A kid at the career fair today told me software development was number 2 on his list below volcanology. Real recognize real.

Spot the original revolutionary, Grimace, at the Oxford protest. Act like you know.

Watching college football and WuTang videos, putting the orthopedic insert in my new Wallabees. Tornado threat tonight: 2.

Thanks to @alwayscrashing.bsky.social for running some new pieces by me!

Gotta be a grenade, right?

New member of the Ennis Liberation Front. This is Robocop.

Always stoked to be in @bruisermag.com! Thanks for running “The Bramble Dialectic,” “The Choir,” and “How Am I?” www.bruisermag.com/Ennis_ThreeS...

I was wondering which was worse, the Sunday Night Football song or Monday Night Football song?

Please remember that VR is open not just for submissions but also for interview and review proposals and news of recently published flash fiction books! www.vestalreview.net/guidelines

When I first started writing flash fiction, my goal was to work with @thirtywestph.com—I liked the books, I liked the stance. Josh is the real deal. I’m deeply grateful. And ten years publishing indie books is no accident. So impressive. One love.

Honored to be a part of the first issue of @flightlit.bsky.social. Big thanks for running my piece, “It’s Powerful Parking Lot”! flight-literary.ghost.io/sean-ennis-f...

Been on an r&b deep dive this past week and my wife is not ready for all the vocabulary I learned.

Enjoying this novel-in-flash form from @seanennis.bsky.social @malarkeybooks.bsky.social check it out

My father was friends with Bucko, I think dad did his taxes. Bucko would come by the house and absolutely terrify me as a child. He was enormous. Happy for him and his family. Go Birds!

Big thanks to @amazonprime.bsky.social for running my piece, “Leather Swatter or You’re Just Playin”! It’s a great product.

Don’t front. Come through.

Got a cold call at 6:30 on a Friday evening asking if I was the author of Hope and Wild Panic. I thought, finally, Oprah is calling. Turns out they’ve chosen me to pay them thousands of dollars to make posts on Threads for publicity. Let me get my checkbook.

My programming students are building a game where I am the villain and look like this and my feelings are hurt.

Set your alarms, North Mississippi!

I’ve been on a waiting list for 18 months to purchase a helmet that facilitates lucid dreaming. This is a true story. My day finally came today, but now it’s just a crappy sleep mask with an app(!!) to track my fitful, restless nights. Stunned. Like, bro, my wallet was wide open for that helmet.

I’m going to push this air fryer to its motherfucking limits tonight.

Thunderstorms in the Valley. Put your shoes on.

We had to say goodbye to Zeke, my absolute main man. We adopted Z when I was in need of rescue myself. Difficult to imagine this family without him.

One of my students came today with a puke bucket just in case. I admire their dedication, but ain’t no way they can stay in the building. Still, I will be bringing a puke bucket to any event I don’t really want to attend from now on.

Hollywood is full of cowards too scared to make Independence Day 3.

I’ve never been more jealous of another writer’s title than Wild Robot.

Thanks to 3:AM for running 3 of my pieces! And I continue to collect cool Old Rats graphics! www.3ammagazine.com/3am/three-st...

I made a really terrible dinner tonight. What an embarrassment! What was I thinking?

I knew the building I worked in was haunted. Just realized we have a Bell Witch artifact in the building.

Very likely the only guest in this strange hotel.

Used chatGPT to generate a list of the most common venereal diseases on the Florida Gulf Coast in prep for my son’s senior trip.

It’s finally happened. Someone wants to make a reality tv pilot about where I work. It was nice knowing you all. See you at Bravocon 2026.

A strange poem has been appearing when I first turn this tv on

There was a time when Phineas and Ferb absolutely dominated the life and culture of our house, and I’m glad they are back. Shoutout to Dr. Doofenshmirtz, of course.

You know I bought that all black toothbrush. Unfuckwithable.

I have Tupac’s chain, btw

Big thanks to @poolpartymag.com for running my piece, “The Last, Great Letter-Writer”! I’m real pleased.

I don’t know what we need in this doomed century, but enough with the tv shows about wealthy cowboys.
