The Father’s Day TikTok trend where, once a year, people born after 9/11 post videos of themselves fighting their dads

Andry José Hernández Romero, I remember you, even if I do not know how to articulate my horror, rage, & sorrow at your treatment by my government. No one has heard from you in 90 days. As vigil, I’m posting a photo (or video) of you every day until you are returned from El Salvador.

"Trump reneged on more than a billion dollars the Biden administration promised to tribes for renewable energy and salmon recovery."

Issue 21 is here! ✨️ variantlit.com/issue-twenty...

“I’ve been in since Ronald Reagan was president and I’ve always found it difficult to communicate certain aspects of the experience. Being possessed, for instance, is a reality many of my readers would not intuitively understand.”

Love to see a humungous colossus on the horizon

Watering the garden [religious]

There is seriously no better media literacy education than being really into pro wrestling at some point in your life

What is Trump thinking....??? His actions...choices...it's difficult to understand...

When I heard the mom of a trans girl say the night her daughter came out to her was the first time she'd ever seen her child happy, I knew it was a story I needed to share. These are the stories the public isn't hearing. An honor to get to report on 3 family's journeys for @teenvogue.com.

Doctors and therapists like, "Derrick your lack of object permanence is very high functioning. With tricks and hacks, you have achieved job, wife, kids and stuff, but once they (or anything!) leave your line of sight, you're no longer sure if they exist. We suspect you're doing a lot of masking..."

Yelling to my wife, “Heads up, babe, I think I'm gonna get addicted to AI chatbot-fueled delusions and schizo narratives of self-aggrandizement,” And she’s like, “Oh no you’re not!”

Interviewing an artist about their influences seems so tricky. All but the most toxically self-aware people will treat the question like a social media post. Would be curious to see how much mileage you get out of asking creators to name their “most embarrassing” influences and start from there.

Damn The Blair Witch project is soooo good. Just rewatched and it's just so upsetting and full of ideas and images, looks and sounds amazing. Nails the erotics of explaining too much/too little. You can read it for child abuse, politics, economic abandonment of rural communities. No notes.

There are 53 Republicans in the Senate.

Do you notice that every doctor who has been in Gaza comes back and describes it as an unimaginably horrific genocide, so vastly worse than even those of us following it realize?

"Plastered to the exhaust fan with the woody spittle of the queen wasp is a sizable nest of hazelnut-brown pulp, sparsely inhabited, from which emerge the beings..." @addisonzeller.bsky.social's piece in @bruisermag.com, like 4 short rewrites of the middle part of To the Lighthouse.

The eternal Calvino night of the Marble Madness world

Today's the official opening of @eveninghouse.bsky.social 's new location!! It's also the tail end of Short Story Month & Boxcutters, my new short story collection, is ten days old! Been so busy, I know there's a lot of great new short fiction I've missed. Post links or recommendations below! 🤘 🧡

I have seen Romantasy goodreads dorks end lives, wipe whole bloodlines with their 3-star reviews.

Whatever disdain "literary" writers retain for genre stuff, no small wedge of that disdain is probably just thinly veiled anxiety that some Romantasy goodreads dork will flip through their reverse chronology epistolary novel in an afternoon, give it 3 stars, and call it "fun."

Straight up drinking half the birria consome before I even get home, telling wife and kids “man sorry they skimped on the consome!”

Also, as someone who is a VERY good short story writer (maybe the best), I feel like the real move would be for readers to seek advice from me on how to read. This could save literature and lives both.

Very often feels like writing craft books/essays are mostly just part of the larger process of turning writers into customers since almost no one reads fiction but other fiction writers.

NIN is amazing but maybe something I'm only just now thinking about is that all the biggest NIN nerds I know are all ladies/femmes/etc. Am I wrong? Did NIN kind of wind up girl-gendered?

The issue with stand-up comics getting sober is that sober guys will tell we-were-so-wasted stories for HOURS if you let them and stand-ups get fucking paid to tell stories

John Cheever intuited Long Island Trad

Plato’s myth of the cave is so fucking cringe, tiresome, doesn’t ring true to me in any meaningful way at all. Like listening to a WarHammer guy walk you through his workout routine, confident you will be fascinated.

BLUEY: I'm an angel who would like to stay, awaken the dead, and make whole what has been smashed. BINGO: Sorry! I'm the storm of progress caught in your wings. I'm propelling you into the fyoo-chuh!

Fell out of a kid's bed at 10pm jumping awake from the dream where the Bluey kids are playing History is an Angel Being Blown Backwards into the Future.

young men, it is in your interest to develop hobbies beyond watching anime, jacking off, and playing video games. consider woodworking, photography, or transporting dangerous explosives across 218 miles of central america

Remember staying home sick from 8th grade, turning off the TV, house finally empty, starring in the quiet at the CD booklet art for Tori Amos' Boys for Pele, feeling like...I didn't know where to begin...

The comment period for this ends in 3 DAYS. Please leave a comment telling them EVERYONE should be able to get covid boosters. www.regulations.gov/commenton/FD...

When I don't have any new gossip after drinks with the lads and Chels is like, "What the heck did you guys even do?" www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0Cv...

From The Secret History to Stone Butch Blues to Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, I feel like the books my bi library goth high school girlfriend made me read in the 90s have not only been vindicated one after the other, but have made me the man I am today. Just an incredible streak, Emily, thank you.

My ideal reader? Snobs. Like really off-putting snobs.

Joe Rogan-listening brother-in-law keeps his own bookmark in @scumbelievable.bsky.social’s Manhunt and, the last time he spent the night, it moved from page 53 to 119 in 48 hours. Thoughts?

Lou Reed was “Long Island Trad” (bisexual drunk who loved smoking).
