Thanks @lindaksienkiewicz.com!
New micro up at the never disappointing Disappointed Housewife @offbeatlit.bsky.social thedisappointedhousewife.com/2025/08/20/t...
"I’m planning a big party. My friend has no idea. She hates her job and cries on the weekends about it. We tell her she can do better. We tell each other lies all the time..."
Thank you!! So honored to be part of the Disappointed Housewife 💙
“The lemons were as big as throats” ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I have a weird little micro up at Scaffold Lit, a great place for weird little micros. www.scaffoldlit.com/microwriting...
God says yes to me www.loc.gov/programs/poe...
Disco punk? Dance stomp? Electronic poptart? I don’t know how to categorize it but the Gelli Haha album is sooo good.
Do you have a link to this report?
Thanks to @maudlinhouse.bsky.social and a hat tip to ee cummings. maudlinhouse.net/in-just-spri... "Just then my entomologist calls. She has good news about the beetle population. Thriving is what she says. “It’s going to be a good year for the little things,” is what I text my wife."
"No matter how good we get at predicting things, no amount of prediction could have told me ten years ago what my life was going to be like now." fivebooks.com/best-books/w...
Sky Daddy is so wild and beautiful and funny. Favorite novel this year for sure —maybe several years. @katefolk.bsky.social
💙💙💙
So good
I Don’t Believe in Magic But I Hate it When Someone Diminishes Magic That’s why I deleted all my social media apps. That’s also why I put them back the next day. Then I called someone I’d been meaning to call for years. Neither of us had any news.
Thanks @bruisermag.com !
Congrats! Sounds amazing. It's on my list--can't wait ⭐
I love Wigleaf’s postcards, so this is a thrill ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thanks @tomljanovic.bsky.social !
I'm in the new Heavy Feather, which is an honor! Someone’s Making Money Off My Old Problems, Someone Else Is Charging Me for New Ones heavyfeatherreview.org/2025/06/19/m...
I love MoonPark, and I'm honored to be in the journal again along with a bunch of amazing writers 🌙 moonparkreview.com/issue-32-sum...
The issue looks beautiful--and it's full of amazing pieces ⭐
Pow 👊
Definitely read this: "A good friend died a slow, punishing death a little over a year ago. And though I’ve thought of him a lot in the time since, it hasn’t been nearly what he deserves. But isn’t that the way it always goes? Our intentions are so good right after our hearts are scalded so..."
Triumphant means three elephants.
This is so great. ⭐️ I really love your work @ezhang77.bsky.social!
Help us spread the good word! Our submissions open in 3 days! Psalteryandlyre.org/submissions
This is such a moving piece of writing/life. 💙
Congrats!
Great piece. "On the plane to Montana, I thought, everyone is so stupid, he can’t murder me because we have mutual friends on Instagram."
Oh, this is amazing. ⭐
Two iconic moves
Oh, wow -- I love this!
Cathy Ulrich's "A Universe Waiting to Be Born" at @okaydonkey.bsky.social get's my vote! okaydonkeymag.com/2021/07/16/a...
This John Jodzio flash is amazing. "I’m alive but I’m in Asheville. A man at the bus stop asks me why I’m wearing an ankle monitor. He asks why there’s a piece of beef jerky wedged between it and my skin." splitlipthemag.com/flash/0525/j...
Totally! Nothing satisfies me more than when writing doesn’t define a thing or a state, but describes well the uncertainties surrounding it.
I don’t wanna go down to the basement
Total panic when I get this question. Going to follow your lead from now on.
You gotta read this today. "I wanted him to be afraid of how much he wants me, so I filled up the bathtub with cold water, iced myself pale."
Holy smokes--I must have missed this one the first time around. I love it so much.
If you're looking for insight into all that's swirling around us right now, read @andreapitzer.bsky.social. You get a strong dose of inspiriation, too. "Live inside your own life... The real work of changing society—for good or for ill—is always done by people. Don’t give up your power."
This is such a great piece--really insightful and eyeopening and inspiring.
⭐️⭐️⭐️
Happy birthday to Sarah! And here is Teddy, enjoyng the view and looking forward to his morning walk.
This a wonderful and moving piece. "I want to sling arrows into the sky, attempting to pierce the soul of some omnipotent power that decided to inflict this disease on a person I love... But there isn’t a grand conspiracy against Sarah... She’s just a statistical outlier."
Thank you for writing and sharing this. 💙
oh that is good.
thank you!
oh wow
It’s amazing when a piece of your writing not only finds a great home, but is met with the same enthusiasm from others as you feel toward it. Thanks to @havehashad.com for publishing this, and to Kate, Joe, Danny at @hexliterary.bsky.social for selecting it. www.havehashad.com/hadposts/one...
Thank you, Michelle!
Love this one! The whole thing is quotable. Read @jeffreyhermann.bsky.social in @havehashad.com www.havehashad.com/hadposts/one...

There might or there might not be things more satisfying than getting published in HAD. No, there is nothing more satisfying than getting published in HAD.
gorgeous pain here
I was confused and transfixed and also delighted.
This micro is so cool it's downright chilling.
SO good.
One of our favorite shows

Good things come to those who stay up late.
Was it Billy on the Street? Sounds like a bit.
OH NO--JAKE!!!!
Hey, wow--I'm in Jake @publishedbyjake.bsky.social! "Curious and transfixed, I bent down and carefully gathered the town up, the whole place fitting into the palm of my hand."
Thank you, Jake--it's an honor ⭐💙⭐💚
👀 👀 👀
I love these--so good ⭐⭐
Also a bootlicker.
What all these lit mags that are rejecting my work don't seem to understand is that what I'm TRYING to accomplish is actually incredibly beautiful and compelling. It's just that I'm not accomplishing it. Holding that against me seems shortsighted.

Hey all! I’m teaching a workshop next weekend which should be enormously fun - come make monsters with me! writingworkshops.com/products/mak...
Hi poetry babes—hope April finds you revising that beautiful, full-length manuscript, and that you consider sending it our way when we open on May 1. Submission guidelines here: riverriverbooks.org/editors/subm... Model contract here: riverriverbooks.org/editors/cont...
Just subscribed. Andrea is amazing.
Just what we all needed: All the @miketopp.bsky.social micros/poems/whatnots at @havehashad.com today are kiiiiillers. www.havehashad.com
Hell yes. The mind's always working on things.
This is a big deal. Spread the word. But it’s tiny compared to the totality of what’s happening at NIH. Cure Research for all cancers, Alzheimer’s, everything is being gutted. Intentionally. It’s all getting burned to the ground but the news isn’t getting out. The new cures won’t be there for you.
I just interviewed @jvl.bsky.social youtube.com/@fastpolitic...
Take a few minutes for these — they are rough and beautiful and just perfect
⭐ It's Friday--make time for the new trampset ⭐
We are feeling lucky today... Open now! Submissions capped at 200. Send us something cool! 😈💜
she asks me if I like her new pajamas and I say yes. She asks if they're soft. I run my fingers over her thigh and say yes. She asks if they were too expensive and I say you decide. This is just a little story, but I love it so. @jeffreyhermann.bsky.social @wigleaf.bsky.social
💙💜❤️
Fell in love with this song instantly when I listened to the album the other day.

Good advice from @brettpribble.bsky.social!
These mass firings are illegal and likely to cripple important federal initiatives throughout the country and in Michigan, and so we’re once again taking the White House to court. youtube.com/shorts/j4Gm9...
⭐Great news for people who, like myself, love Heather Christle's poetry--new book coming this August! If you're not familiar with her writing she is the just the absolute best ⭐
Oh, amazing news--I cannot wait to be stunned!
Thank you @mattkendrick.bsky.social !!
Very flattered to have two micros up at @wigleaf.bsky.social -- here's one of them. wigleaf.com/202503travel...
"Since marrying an actress I've had to grow a lot emotionally. I try to be clear in my mind about what's real and what's imaginary. My wife might be kissing a man in a dimly lit hotel room while I'm falling asleep on our couch, for instance." wigleaf.com Ty @wigleaf.bsky.social!
No, not yet @tomclaire.bsky.social!
Nice--congrats, and can't wait to get my hands on a copy!
