We had an idea that started as a joke. We had an affinity for that minimalist look and feel of early online journals. We had a couple drinks. https://www.havehashad.com

get lost in today's labyrinth with us and Maria Cangro! https://www.havehashad.com/0rlaz

blast of a new story from Catherine Bisley! "As the life of the dildo expanded, Devon’s own identity narrowed. Now commonly known as The Dildo Guy, he wondered if there were other Dildo People. He hadn’t been the only one on the beach that evening." https://www.havehashad.com/j87w4

got some new new Martheaus Perkins today!! "Sure, we were only twelve. And, upon reflection, we can see how you would’ve been a bigger box office draw. But can you blame us for the jealousy?" https://www.havehashad.com/c1lnd

fire new single sentence story today from Mia Testa! "...and you want so badly to be having fun but really you aren’t, because he is so gentle and so kind and so patient and you haven’t had sex in months..." https://www.havehashad.com/34bfu

My first skull! So happy to be in the dreamiest of my dream journals, @havehashad.com. Thanks to @nikonamericax.bsky.social for taking my piece in!

Sharing two wild @havehashad.com pieces today - beyond-human, more-than-human, mind boggle

"Had a pair in the mid-90s. Tore the shit out of my heel so bad I used to tape cardboard to the backs of my feet. The price of being cool was high back then. Now three decades have passed and I’m still trying to be cool like I was at 15." — Dave McNamara https://www.havehashad.com/fahch

today's Billy Sugarfix story is so amazingly, quintessentially HAD-y. Enjoy! "I tried to convince myself that the giant in the dried-up egg-plant patch was a hunger-induced hallucination. But it was real, and it wore a Nike Air VaporMax Plus sneaker..." https://www.havehashad.com/ghwu7

"One of my eyeballs popped out and we couldn’t fit it back in, so I’ve been carrying it around in my pocket, in the grip of my hand. I didn’t realize how linty it gets in there." 👁️ today from m.m. gumbin!! https://www.havehashad.com/cxj69

"I touch the outside of the plane as I board, the door frame, trying to let the plane know I’m its friend." do other people do this? I have a friend who does every time she flies, and it's really endearing. new Timothy C Goodwin today is a banger! https://www.havehashad.com/7hvr6

throwback to the time @havehashad.com gave me half a skull

In case you missed this one, it’s 10/10 and that ending is a holy shit that’s brilliant type of thing.

holy WOW today's poem from Meghan Elizabeth Kelley! "...I want the underside of the river back beneath the surface. I want the song rewound back into the bird’s mouth. I want you to want less than what makes you comfortable, satisfied..." https://www.havehashad.com/vvvb4

today's story from Suzanne Hicks takes a turn in the final paragraph that is so perfect, it made me short-story-loving heart glow big and bright "I’ve become a regular at the dispensary... and now every time I visit, she hugs me before I leave." https://www.havehashad.com/kd4g9

amazing new story today from Chas Carey! "The preschool called while I was at the doctor’s to tell me our daughter had learned about lying. In the morning, one of her friends lied to a teacher to get her in trouble. She cried and cried." https://www.havehashad.com/ql2bb

just tryna make you all feel something 😘

Happy Valentines for People You're Committed to Destroying in Secret day to all who celebrate @havehashad.com www.havehashad.com/hadposts/val...

happy valentines day, from us and xochi quetzali cartland! "...I don’t know if forgiveness finds us when we deserve it the least. Sometimes, I get postcards from desire. They say I do miss you, but don’t mistake that for me wishing you were here" https://www.havehashad.com/o6jjm

a short piece of total wonder today from dizzy turek! "The sun rises on the evil and the good alike. The evil: Would you stay and watch the sun with me? The good: Only if you stay on the blade of my knife." https://www.havehashad.com/l2o8l

This link will be live in just a little over 2 hours. (And, given past calls, will probably be dead a few minutes after that.) If link doesn't work... you're too early or too late! havehashad.submittable.com/submit/32081...

Oof. 💔

it’s so intriguing how different the three versions/stories in this triptych are! 🦈 🧜🏼‍♀️ 🦑 🎉 🏝️

First HAD call for 2025 incoming! Certified lover boy @jordanhamel.bsky.social is taking over the reins tomorrow (2/13, 1pm est) for a special Valentine's Day Eve submission call. He's looking for messages in a bottle, DM slides, sad songs for dirty lovers, and more. Details in image/alt text.

Got my first 💀 of at @havehashad.com. Thanks to @mcarphil.bsky.social, @aaronburch.bsky.social, and @crowjonah.com for being chill with this sad brother story that is also drenched in Jif peanut butter. 😔 www.havehashad.com/hadposts/hal...

“Some said shark. A shark no one saw but that must have been waiting, lurking, just under the surface of that deceptively still water, the shark of God’s grim wrath, always waiting to punish us sinners.”

got that new-new from Jace Einfeldt today!! "I haven’t talked to my younger brother in years, but I’ve been thinking about him a lot lately." https://www.havehashad.com/ezgo5

another amazing, wild, perfect little short-short, today from Noah Anthony Mezzacappa! https://www.havehashad.com/f3ejv

Retweeting this because... well, I'm a self-promoter. But ALSO because it is focused on editing journals and I talk about HAD some, so some of y'all might find it interesting?

perfect little odd prose poemy wonder today from Liliana Greyf!! https://www.havehashad.com/8ni1f

Taking Jamaica Kincad's "Girl" in to class today for if we have extra time after workshop, which sent me off to reread this "after" piece... www.havehashad.com/hadposts/girl

Big fan of this one on @havehashad.com by Kyla Guimaraes. It has that Neruda-ish exuberance and rhythm, along with a darkness you don't expect from an ode. www.havehashad.com/hadposts/ode...

Always a thrill to submit to a @havehashad.com call, but even more thrilling to get a skull! Here’s my poem “Wrong Song”!

This is really good.

new-new from Devon Neal today, with such a great, fun turn midway through! https://www.havehashad.com/pizun

everything from our giant HAD 100 call now (finally!) formatted. they take us through just after Aaron's bday. so... we'll probably have to open sometimes before then.

formatting upcoming stuff our contributors continue to be the best

ack! meant to spend time yesterday formatting stuff... but we have a squirrel in the attic, so I lost most of the day dealing w that. anyway. maybe read this great postcard about squirrel love from Sara Potocsny & we'll be back with new stuff tomorrow! www.havehashad.com/hadposts/tee...

“Some said riptide. Some said cramps from eating clam cakes and not waiting sixty minutes before swimming. Some said jellyfish. Some said shark. A shark no one saw…” @writesofkathryn.bsky.social | @havehashad.com www.havehashad.com/hadposts/gir...

Loved having this on @havehashad.com about a year ago.

"She swam out past the buoy line, where the bottom drops off all of a sudden and your legs kick and kick in water suddenly grown dead cold, where wicked currents wait. Where she waits now, they all say." Love how @writesofkathryn.bsky.social put this brilliant gem together! In @havehashad.com 💙💙💙

amazing new poem today from Alicia Rebecca Myers! "Today, I ran past the public pool still filled with summer water. Leaves are only just turning decadent, copper and scarlet, plum-trimmed edges everywhere..." https://www.havehashad.com/jadvg

‘Asking for trouble, that girl was. Showing off. You weren’t there, but someone you know was.’ What a triptych from @writesofkathryn.bsky.social in @havehashad.com. Love how the mythology of this girl’s story evolves - it’s even got a Danielle Steel reference in! ☀️

"She waits, seaweed in her hair, fingers grown long and slimy like squid, ready to grab your leg, ready to pull you down..." ❤️❤️❤️ @writesofkathryn.bsky.social in @havehashad.com!

crazy that we've had like 9 submission calls since HAD 100, but they opened and then closed so fast you didn't even notice 😭

every word and phrase and sentence in today's poem from Taylor Franson-Thiel feels so magically-perfect and razor-precise https://www.havehashad.com/7yc9h

Loved this: "Some said shark. A shark no one saw but that must have been waiting, lurking, just under the surface of that deceptively still water, the shark of God’s grim wrath, always waiting to punish us sinners."

new fave triptych story dropped, courtesy of Kathryn Kulpa! such an inspired, wonderful new story about storytelling & wonder & fear & mythmaking &&&! "Once there was a girl who died because she cut school and went to the beach...." https://www.havehashad.com/b688y
