It's the last work day of the year so post a video game banger

short story about buster keaton where it's subtly obvious the (third person) narrator would totally smash if given the chance

Hello, new followers! My book's called HORSE SHOW. It's a great gift for history buffs, fiction fans, and animal people! Feat: P.T. Barnum! John Travolta! Lady Wonder, the mind-reading mare! The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers! Coney Island! Mules! A "vest-pocket tractor" called the Midwest Utilitor!

I think I'm writing about Sigmund Freud just to poke fun at him. (I think that's probably okay.)

Throwback Tuesday to the (one and only) time I've written straightforward memoir. Yes, there's a horse. www.stymiemag.org/2011/07/new-...

I just wanna write a short story with the same immaculate vibes as (British) Sea Power's debut album "The Decline of..." is that too much to ask

forever obsessed with James Tate

Friendly reminder that anyone who puts balls on their truck has just made their truck trans. Those balls were not their when the truck was born. You changed its gender. Your truck is trans.

Love this sick and hilarious story in the new issue of @splitlipthemag.bsky.social splitlipthemag.com/flash/1225/s...

There's a thing on here about "posting a book from the 80s" and I realized that everything I read in the 80s that felt fresh and new was from the 60s and 70s. This is because I was a child during the 1980s.

Next up on our #SFWP2025YearInReview, with guest editor Rachel Weber, we released the 32 Issue of the SFWP Journal! buff.ly/vxU9QKe

I am so "not ready" for the holidays. Which has me wondering if I've ever felt "ready" for the holidays since I was a child, free of the holiday-magic-making obligations that settle upon women's shoulders like a mantle as soon as they reach the age of majority.

Making something creative and giving it to the world to enjoy is a legacy worth living for. And Rob Reiner did that times a hundred. Inspirational.

Who's your dead celebrity crush? Mine's Buster Keaton.

I have some fun HORSE SHOW news to share for the New Year, but am waiting on the deets! In the meantime, it makes a great gift for horse people, movie/TV/photography geeks, and literary fiction fans! check check it: bookshop.org/p/books/hors...

Me: I hate Joss Whedon and his wretched self-insert character Xander Harris. History is a record of their atrocities My therapist: Of course Me: But I love Buffy the Vampire Slayer S3E13, "The Zeppo" My therapist: Who doesn't

Finished Outer Worlds 2. (A lot of fun, just like the first game!) On to Octopath Traveler 0. Winter of sequels so far.

It's December 3rd and I am already tired of being cold.

Giddy on up and treat yourself to HORSE SHOW by @prettyminotaur.bsky.social if you haven't already! buff.ly/Y2rnQhQ @susanschulman.bsky.social

One time Karen Russell called one of my short stories "really genius," and I'll be coasting on that high for the rest of my life (psst, it's in HORSE SHOW!)

I ordered a new wall calendar for 2026 because I cannot function without analog organization. It blew off of the front porch before I could go outside to get it. I hope this isn't a metaphor for the year to come.

Is anyone else having a hard time focusing amid >gestures at everything<?

I have been made aware that there was a novelization of Good Burger and I am passing this knowledge onto you

Are you choreopoetry-curious? Learn from one of the best!

Fans of the Travolta story in HORSE SHOW, buckle up! A similar but even stranger story involving a disappearing dog (or three?) named Tiger, has just been accepted for publication...!

can’t tell if my antidepressants aren’t working or if they just weren’t built for this. like, zoloft was introduced in the 90s it barely needed to work then. if you got sad you could just buy a house.

I actually do want a data center in my backyard so bad I want to grow numb to the endless drone of a million electronic beehives I want to get testicular cancer from people I’ll never meet generating shrek porn in their basements

happy no novel november to all who celebrate in which we will continue to write new short stories instead of our novels

Once in awhile very important literature crosses your path and you must look in the mirror and ask: am I going to publish a book about a guy who shits snakes? Yes I am. Yes I am. Very excited for @beardedbetts.bsky.social wtf bizarro body horror novel to come out Jan 2027. 🐍 💩 🧑‍⚕️

I was doing my spin class yesterday and it was a halloween one with showtunes, little shop, etc. and the instructor said "do you know anyone who deserves to be fed to a giant plant? i bet we can all think of someone!" and it was weirdly vindicating as we all giggled and knew exactly who was meant

I want to know how much white matter ischemia was seen on that MRI

Frankenstein? You mean that book about a lonely sea captain who wishes so hard for an emo boyfriend that he finds one in the ocean?

i wanna take you to the HORSE SHOW

We have such cute things to show you
