Popped an early copy of the new book into the free library outside my high school. Felt kinda neat. Hoping some piece of shit kid throws it on the roof.

Can we stop with the documentary mini series, please? I’d like to learn about a topic for two hours, not ten. I can’t make that level of commitment to anything besides my dogs.

Bumping this for completely selfish reasons (so I can easily find it later when I have time to read it from top to bottom)
Wrote about my father-in-law's stroke and the feeling of getting all turned around for one of my all-time favorite magazines @therumpus.net.

At the time, though, I couldn’t make much sense of anything. So I accepted everything with the detached nonchalance of a guy who has no idea what’s going on.

The reviews of this book are all over the place and I can totally see why, but I loved it. Weird, beautiful, and confusing. What more could you want?

Unfortunately this meme gets more and more appropriate as the year goes on. But...yeah...I have a collection available for preorder. Half stories/half novella. Ghosts. Sky bursting into flames. Stuff like that.
Order it anywhere but @bookshop.org is best: bookshop.org/p/books/chan...

Ahh yes that post-writing glow where you have your words in for the day and can push back the ever-nearing dread and worthlessness for a few hours until you start to feel like a lazy piece of shit again. Writing’s fun!

Did that fun thing where you force yourself to write saying “just do 50 words just do something come on” then you realize you wrote 2,000. Does this mean things will happen if you try? Not sure how I feel about that.

Can’t pass this deal up
What @joshrank.bsky.social said! (Thanks, man!) If you, too, enjoy weird little stories about the forgotten people living in flyover states, have I got a collection for you. $20 signed and shipped in the US, or $25 and I’ll throw in my poetry chapbook as well!
