- Every time a KRS-One song comes on I say to myself that is a man you have actually hugged after a concert and I instantly feel so much better
- More of this, more shame, more career-ending humiliation for financing and maintaining this industry they created and maintained to rape as many children as possible
- am having trouble picking an author photo, might have to just go with my high school yearbook mugshot
- To every American dude with immense power or immense wealth or both, could you please get better friends, read a book or something, and chill the fuck out for a year or two. Do us all a fucking solid, you leeches.
- Man I wish I had more time to review books regularly like I used to. Between work and single parenting and writing fiction there’s just so little time left for me to support writers that way. And I really love reviewing. Ugh. RIP, book world.
- It’s not everyday the NYTimes reviews (and annotates) a piece of flash prose—in this case a very important legal decision. “It’s a passionate, erudite and at times mischievous piece of prose.” Gift link: www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
- What a great group of writers!
The flash section of the Feb Soflopojo. Congratulations to all. www.southfloridapoetryjournal.com/flash-40-feb...
- Sorry to hear this news — JAKE kicks ass. Really hope it’ll be back someday 🌼
- Hey all, @beansbaker5.bsky.social here. After much deliberation, and many missed deadlines, we've decided to end submissions to JAKE indefinitely on Feb. 15th (two weeks from today). All open submissions will receive a response, and all announced/scheduled work will release, but we're winding down.
- frigid Philly with light steam
- After an absolutely brutal work year last year I actually got some good news today that’ll help me sleep like 63% better at night. Such a relief.
