And sometimes I send her this funny mugshot of a local woman like once every few weeks.

All my text messages with my wife are just us asking each other when do you want to eat.

Probably the best idea. As the mother pointed out, everyone likes chili.

Loved this one. It’s kind of funny because I have a crappy little story about a guy with a head that is broccoli visiting a house and shooting a pot of chili with a gun and making a big mess and it’s a terrible story and yours is the story that should exist about a visitor and a mess of chili.

Yes! Make your art the only way you are able to make it because you are the only one who can make it that way. The rest is the rest.

Nice Chris!

Thanks for reading!

It's becoming increasingly clear to me that the most important, political, & revolutionary thing any of us can do in 2026 is retaking control of our own brains. Which, to me, means: unplugging from the algorithm as much as possible. Instead: read books, go to a museum, think for yourself, be still.

I have a new story in one of the very best mags on earth @hexliterary.bsky.social. This is for the 90s kids and recovering addicts and everyone else. Love you.

The rule is that you can’t have an untitled note.

Notes may not be untitled or titled “Untitled” or titled “untitled” or titled “untitled note” or any spelling of a word which produces a homophone of untitled. A note may, however, be titled something to the effect of “without title”. That is a valid title despite the attempt to subvert the rule.

All your notes must have a title. If there is one that is untitled that is not allowed. There was a loophole that some in the past had exploited by having the title of their note be “Untitled” or “untitled”. This loophole has been closed.

Fascism and diarrhea are both really hard to spell.

Excerpt from Storing Dinosaurs by Dan Weaver: A fter Carmen married Phillip I couldn’t chase her with my lizards no more since it scared Phillip and he would hide in the room and the one time it made it so that Carmen couldn’t drive Phillip to work and he was late and he didn’t want to tell his boss that Carmen was getting threatened with lizards.

A truly great short story tells you everything you need to know about it from its very first line. This is one of them. Check out "Storing Dinosaurs" by @supernaturalfeat.com in our latest issue! bit.ly/3XY7fMa
