Meta has apologized for creating doppelgängers of everyone and instructing them to make love to our spouses

The detail on the “MFA Workshop” PlayMobil set is insane… a little copy of Stoner? A tiny flask?? A flashcard of various micro aggressions to integrate into imaginative play??? 🤯

I'm so honored to be a part of this project, the brainchild of @joshriedel.bsky.social. Look at this beautiful zine with stories by these amazing writers (and somehow, I'm among them). Josh and Rebecca Ackermann did a wonderful job. Check out thirtycabins.com and preorder!

Everyone is talking about the hair and I get it but... SPUNGEBOB!

love to see that Mean Dean is still gettin’ after it 😈

Free sample of services: Dear Fit529 Dotcom, Thank you for submitting weird books with disclaimers about the age of characters to Dan Rejects Review. Although your work was not selected for publication, we appreciated the opportunity to read it and wish you luck in placing it elsewhere. All best,

I have a new story out today in @lightspeedmagazine.com inspired in part by a relative’s memory loss and all the things I wished I had asked her when she could answer. it would mean a lot to me if you read it and even more if you called an elder today. you never know how much time you have left 🙏

reminder this is free to read online for a bit before it goes back into the vault, then you have no choice but to read it on treeskin as the conclusion of a sequence of stories as intended undertowpublications.com/uncertain-sons

I’m offering a kind of editorial service for new writers who haven’t yet grown the callus for rejection. For $5, you can send me any one piece up to 2.5k words (fiction only) and I will reject it .

It's only a quarter to three / reflecting off the LCD

Hello this book comes out on 7/21 and we’ll probably get copies in the mail a little ahead of that. We have a handful of signed copies still available and I promise you will comm-adore this book, an egregious pun you will only get if you read this book!

If you are in and or around Mid-Missouri tomorrow, come thru 😘 ft. @johnwaddy.bsky.social @bdcutkomp.bsky.social Daren Dean @cbwell.bsky.social @abbymanzella.bsky.social @cshrumly.bsky.social and me (shaking ass ((jk (((or am I?))))))

I hear THE LAST GARRISON by Matthew Beard is pretty good! You know, for a first book…

I'm absolutely thrilled to be included in this special RESIST anthology from FFO. The stories are brilliant. Big thanks to @wordrat.bsky.social & @flashfictiononline.bsky.social for putting together such an inspiring collection!

I'm setting up a Rock and Roll Reading during Chicago's Printers Row Lit Fest, likely a happy hour reading on Friday, September 11, venue TBD. If you're a Chicago writer or attending Printers Row, holler if you have possible interest. No promises, but who's going?

Ah, that’s my bad, dude, I had somehow conflated the plot of your short story with that of a Macklemore (& Ryan Lewis) song

I feel like Insta knows about this, but Bluesky doesn't. I'll be posting about it when I get my copy. See below for the roster of writers (including me) who contributed to this interesting project edited by novelist Josh Riedel.

That being said, we still paid a lot of money we didn’t have for what help we got & money was tight beforehand, so if you don’t mind the direct ask, please consider checking out the shop, in-store or online: eveninghousebooks.com You’d help us a lot + get a book in return

Happy July 8th, the day that I get a $5 off any order of $15 or more from Romeo's Pizza in NE Ohio for my rewards anniversary. If you or someone you love lives in NE Ohio and wants $5 off any order of $15 or more from Romeo's Pizza in NE Ohio, I will be happy to give that to you or them.

"It was specifically stated in my will that my mother not be my embalmer." This week on @hexliterary.bsky.social, we have the embalming of a revolutionary, a mother-daughter relationship, a surreal and compelling post-death consciousness! Don't miss Cate Valinote's My Mother, the Mortician!

If I were Gru, I think I’d have very little or maybe no second thoughts at all about leaving minions in the hot car when I run in for scratchers and smokes

The best thing an artist (you) can do on today or any day is start a project that is so out of your wheelhouse, so large and daunting, that you dive in with equal parts terror and excitement. I'm doing that right now and it's fun and scary.
