I respect “can’t pee, trapped by cat,” but have you tried “can’t feel my legs, trapped by 140 pounds of hound”?

A week ago I was in LA and while it is far from my favorite city, I will say this: it was not -5 there, and that was nice.

Working on a hypothesis that possums contain alien DNA:
1. They have eldritch nightmare feet, with rear opposable digits.
2. Playing possum includes releasing a foul, deathlike odor.
3. In mating, the couple must roll over to finish.
4. Their sperm/genitals are forked.
5. Impervious to snake venom.

Rolling over this quote in Shteyngart’s review of the new Bitchie Rich biography. Are “greater” MFA programs now beyond the need for incidents, just running on vibes? Also, like, Gary, man…since you brought it up, you went to Hunter. That’s not even the best CUNY.

Very famous, very funded One Story offering what amounts to $10 an hour, in 2023, in one of the most expensive cities in the world, and calling it a “contract” to slide under NYC freelance laws. Such cute slime. Love this for us.
