THIN GOD Thin God slipped into the crack in my eyelid, and that was how I came to know my mother. Thin God promised me more time, but I knew Thin God always lied in the morning. Thin God convinced the aliens to cleave a cloud into a boy and a girl. Instead, the aliens created a comedian and a bird. Thin God ate the aliens and gave me a baby. Thin God told me my story had a twist ending, but by the time I fell asleep with the baby in my arms, I forgot I was in a story at all.

The amount of notes (letters) I wrote to my friends in high school prepared me for graduate workshop.
Thank you for reading! Iβm so glad you liked this story π³
Emerged from the depths of hell for the @havehashad.com call.
I think the very idea of a βGreat American Novelβ is kinda dumb. In the parlance of Tacoma, or of Kevin via Tacoma, I kinda think Great American Novels βarenβt real.β That said, I have an ego. I have ambitions. Iβm mostly a happy-go-lucky dork doofusing his way through life and writing, but I also want to have as many readers as possible, I want people to think highly of my writing, I want to be someoneβs (many someoneβs, ideally!) favorite writer, I want people to think the writing is βgreat.β I donβt normally wrestle with those contradictions that much irl, but I think it often then ends up on the page.
kidna proud of saying this out loud tbh

The best time to write weird shit is late at night when youβre delirious.

You should read these beautiful, eerie little fictions by @happilylenaaa.bsky.social π
Thank you for sharing! π€
Renee Goodβs final words were, βIβm not mad at you.β
Alex Prettiβs final act was protecting a woman who was being attacked.
Abolish ICE.

What if we closed our eyes and held hands and tried screaming in the hole together at the same time
Made me think of you, @trashcatlit.bsky.social π
Back in my day life didn't used to suck this much
I'm fully confident literary magazines will survive the AI apocalypse. There is no better time to become a creative writer. You already have an inside track because most people have never even heard of these things that can never die. We will be here with the cockroaches and Taco Bell
Iβll be sending HAD my therapy bill~
Oooooooo!
I was supposed to write tonight, but I dissociated instead.
Thisβll be my first playthrough~
