Discovered a new pet peeve this holiday season: when people send you something and they keep asking if it has arrived but they won’t give you the tracking so you have to keep going back and forth 🙄

Featuring my story “The Only Piece Left,” which is about rare books, dead robots, and what inevitably gets lost via the slow march of time. Also how many jokes I can fit in a thousand words.

Just signed contract with @adventitiouswords.bsky.social to publish my wife’s favorite short story of mine, which is also a (heavily revised) version of the story that got me writing shorter work again. It is about a prison break, Io, sulfur, and solidarity.

You’ll be happy to know I’m the one who’s written of your body’s superlative afflictions (congrats btw) (also I wrote one of the ghost eroticas).
Our new zine bundle features stories about what thousands of lab mice get up to at night, a last-of-its-kind bat's death quest, the upsetting world record your body (yes, YOURS) is breaking right now, and one person's mission to seduce a ghost for answers.

Orders for our new zine bundle are live! We've got stories about a grocery store cashier who might not even be real, a last-of-its-kind bird's final stand, a record-breaking human caviar harvest, an office worker's justifiably violent fantasies, and a new ghost's first ectogasm.

What makes a great street? Bill Lindeke says it's a combination of having been built for public transit in the pre-automobile era — followed by "benign neglect" leaving them unscathed as other streets were overhauled to serve auto oriented uses.
