The Last Dab Apollo Hot Sauce (from Hot Ones)
There is a real afterburn to it, even from a nickel-sized pool on a chip.

Concert tickets, which is why I find the discontinuation of physical tickets most places frustrating. 😂

Out with the gals.
Grocery list and coffee.
Day 2 of the Texas Trek. Non-meat list of things I'll be making.
My audible was Penelope Spheeris. 🤞🏻
Noooooooooo. May Tarkovsky some day finally be covered. This is not his year though.
Asked a friend last night if they can snag The Third Beat for me since I haven't picked it up yet!
There will be garage NBA Jam Hangtime, Bomber Man 64, Smash, and Racer.
Bomber Man 64 Nintendo 64 Cartridge
Can I technically bring this on a plane, or should I put Star Wars Episode 1: Racer in front of it just in case?
I've also nearly been killed in two hit and run accidents while biking. One time I was doored biking ~20 mph in downtown Minneapolis (hit the door frame with my neck, sprained all of my spine). One time someone turned into me at a stoplight and I was hurled headfirst at a signal post. I still bike.
My grandfather, father, and I have all fallen off of roofs/ladders. It's the most Midwest curse. And I'm not having a child so I can break that cycle.
Also, this may be a story/essay.
I'm still doing a GoFundMe to help my parents rebuild after a devastating house fire. The costs of doing so, with an uninsured house, are extremely high. My parents are elderly and low-income and my disabled brother lives with them. I deeply appreciate shares of this link!

@ezhang77.bsky.social's micros are genuinely stunning. It's impressive as hell for such a brief piece to pack such an incredible punch.
Also should specify, generally pro-feedback, but what was included hit me crooked, taste is subjective, yadda yadda. Glad this one will be out in the world though.
Thanks Marisa! Hope all is going well (as it possibly can)!
If I was going to be at AWP, I would certainly be here this evening. If you're in Baltimore, don't miss it.
Received a somewhat strange rejection for a flash essay this morning (strange because of the unsolicited feedback they provided) followed by an acceptance of the same piece this afternoon, which feels like some kind of universal balance. Feels pretty tops with getting into a PhD program Friday too.

Repetitions Theme: Repetitions March 3rd, 6 a.m. PST, capped at 222 submissions For this call, I'm looking for prose that uses repetition to get at what it's going for. This could be repetition of sounds, phrases, images, a piece of the subject matter—or whatever. Some examples of what I'm trying to get you to go for would be Nam Troag Tran’s “Dolphin Linguistics,” Lydia Davis’ “A Mown Lawn,” Joe Brainard’s “I Remember,” Raymond Queneau’s “Exercises in Style,” Loorie Moore's “Real Estate,” Sharon Kivland's "Nana by Emile Zola digested according to light and lighting effects, including metaphor," or Donald Barthelme's “The Balloon.” Subtler repetition than demonstrated by these is ok (but just ok.) Any kind of prose is fine including prose poems. You may consider the usual word count cutoff for HAD (~750-1000) to be relaxed given the nature of this call. Though you should still be kinda in the spirit of. I'm looking forward to seeing what you send me. — Joshua Hebburn
Next call coming soon, from our fave and yours, Joshua Hebburn!

Dozens of U.S. strikes on Iran. Dunno what to say now other than my thoughts are with the Iranian civilians under fire. What a nightmare.

As a kid I read about this, with the caveat that I thought transferability was inevitable. 🙈
I hope the writer in you sees the writer in me here, because this seems unhinged, but does Yoshi canonically have a cloaca?
(Also this may be well-trod territory, and it might be findable online, but 1] I am not searching for that online, and 2] I am surprised I've never thought about this before?)

No melanoma in her iris (fortunately it's just an irregularly shaped, large freckle that developed that we'll keep an eye on and laser treat if it becomes melanosis), and the opthalmologist incidentally caught the early stages of pannus, so she shouldn't lose her vision long-term with treatment. 💜
🔥 Hadn't seen it was going to be in Chicago next year, and there is nothing I like more than tromping around the Midwest!
For all the moments I feel the desert rejecting me (I think my body has a time limit for living in it, growing up a little snow freak), skies like this really, really pull me back in.
