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

Did your family bamboozle you into getting a puppy? Hello. I am the dog lawyer, and you may be entitled to compensation

I adopted a puppy two weeks ago and I’ve said since day one he’s a born agility dog. Last night he climbed on top of his 40” crate ready to LAUNCH himself across the room and clear the baby gate, bought special with vertical bars after he climbed over the other kind. The criminal in question:

Thrilled that my flash CNF “Keepsakes,” about what we keep from deep loss, is out in the latest issue of Salamander. This GORGEOUS cover tho!

“Beauty sponges” now at Costco, if you’re not sure what to get for Valentine’s and you’re entirely ambivalent about the message you’re sending

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.

The absolute and unbridled gall of these journals in which I have not been published leaving me out of announcements for awards for which I am likely not eligible

If you’re hosting, don’t forget to leave out some reading materials so your guests think you’re a normal, well-adjusted person.

the number of designers out there who don't occasionally step back from the screen and ask "does this still say what I mean for it to say" is too damn high

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.
