It’s both funny and cosmically correct that the U.S. men’s hockey chodes will have to sit through 2+ hours of rambling from their addled little king while the U.S. Women’s team gets to skip the speech and party with Flavor Flav in Vegas

Matty's webcomic OBSTRUCTION returns with the first part of Chapter 2 next week!

I reviewed @djpoissant.bsky.social's wonderful story "Heart" in @foofarawpress.bsky.social's new short story review section. I of course want you to read my review, but more importantly I want you to read David's story, which took my breath away.

A review of “Heart” by David James Poissant, published in Cincinnati Review #Squinter #Reviews https://foofaraw.press/a-review-of-heart-by-david-james-poissant-published-in-cincinnati-review/#Squinter〄

The Media Guide will be returning to inboxes very shortly!

Has anyone out there seen OBEX? I just watched it, and I'm not too sure what I just watched - which normally means I just watched something I won't forget. Is it a lo-fi retro #Lynchian surrealist Zelda RPG amalgam? Dunno, but I think I like it 🤔 #Filmsky #Moviesky #scifi #surrealism

If the USA Women’s Hockey team wants a real celebration and invite ,,, I’ll host them in Las Vegas. Do some nice dinners and shows and good times. I’m sure I can get a hotel and airline to help me out here and celebrate these women for real for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

You need to read Kaleidotrope to be a writer. Hey, I don’t make the rules. 😉

I have an addiction and I can’t stop…

My new short story “When All You Have is a Time Portal…” is out today in Black Cat Weekly! 🥳 What if 100 million time-refugees suddenly showed up from 50 years ago, with no modern skills? And what if you could "encourage" them to skip another 50 years?.. blackcatweekly.com/b/vAHt0 #writing

My little micro fiction, "Tax Write-Offs For a Goblin Bounty Hunter" is live today! Excited to be published in Quotidian Bagatelle with @foofarawpress.bsky.social :D qb.foofaraw.press/tax-write-of...

Reminder to all you microfiction writers, we're doing a mini comp over at @quotatelle.bsky.social. Check it: qb.foofaraw.press/crumbs #writing #shortstories #drabble #contest

So, just throwing it out there that @hanmarin.bsky.social is offering some great editing services that I feel like are worth shouting out. They've done some betaing for me in the past, and it's been amazingly helpful, so very much encourage you taking a look at this! hmarinliterary.com

Radon Journal's fiction pay rate is increasing to 2.5¢/word! We are also implementing a $15 minimum for fiction to ensure micro-fiction authors are taken care of. Cheers to the authors who refuse to remain quiet or complicit.

I want to “host an awards show” for The Foofs when we announce winners in a month or so. Are there any writers we’ve published that would be open to filming themselves read the finalists and winner..? “And The Foofs goes to…”

We will be making submitting to this call easier and increasing our tiny advance soon as well.

The Foofaraw team continues to expand! 😻😻😻 Exciting things to come!

“The first issue of Quotidian Bagatelle, a new micro imprint focusing on fiction and poetry under 250, is a banger… Plos drops a dystopian nightmare. Our protagonist wakes up hundreds of years after entering cryostasis. The reason they’re woken up will send a chill down your spine” I’m speechless 🫣

Finishing up our best albums of 2025 (super late I know) and in an effort to tell all the cheapos out there to gimmie all their money, I wrote “card hold cash" instead of “cold hard cash" and I kind of think I like it... but don't want to look like an idiot…

I can't nom or vote the Hugos, because for two years straight they've held WorldCon in one of the most dangerous countries on this here planet and just no. But if you're a nommer/voter, please consider Bone-Eater Earth, published by @unchartedmag.bsky.social. www.unchartedmag.com/stories/bone...

Someone has sure already made this observation but the fact they can convert all those empty warehouses into prison camps means they could have converted them into housing, community centers, job training centers or, hell, libraries or schools all along. It’s always a matter of will not resources.

Yeah, hi, I’m a person with “mobility challenges” (excuse me while I hurl). What we want, by and large, are not expensive, heavy devices that will “help us walk again”, but ramps. I know, it’s not sexy, as technology invented before Christ, but it is overlooked in favor of…this. Repeatedly.

We've received a decent number of nominations already for our Best Strange Drabble 2025, and so far there are four contenders that stand above the rest. Also, we've sent out rejections for our Annual themed drabble, so if you haven't received a rejection yet, you are currently in the money (top five

Need a doomscrolling break? A quick read? A good laugh? Friend, you're not gonna believe this 😉 but I've got a very short and funny sci-fi story out this week! "The Weapons of World War IV" is just 600 words long, and I hope you enjoy it. 😌

Today’s silly idea: opening submissions for people to send their longest, strangest, and most obnoxious bios and then publishing a book of just bios.

I'm Joel, I write speculative fictions I made myself candied jalapenos yesterday and my plan is to put it them on everything I eat for the next week?
