What's the secret to finding love? For @liuswrites.bsky.social, it was going out to @tacobell.bsky.social with her best friend. Read all about it in our latest personal essay, "Not Sure If He’s the One? Take Him to Taco Bell:" opensecretsmagazine.com/p/not-sure-i...

I once heard a writer say that they write compulsively, as if the words they need to say are creative demons waiting to be exorcised. Nothing else has rung truer.

you're an absolute legend. maybe one day we'll all make it

After TBQ got popular, I got an agent in 2020. Cue 3 more years of awkward stumbling. I sold my book on proposal in 2023 but I had 15 years of living it. And then I still had to WRITE IT. It will finally be out next year. Strap yourself in. It takes forever and fuck your AI

So much time has passed that the "I don't even like Taco Bell" line in my piece is no longer accurate

End of year TBQ8 update: Great news! You're not rejected! I just haven't done anything! The last quarter of this year I've been on deadline with my book, recovered from a major surgery and then I decided to quit drinking too! With all that finally behind me, TBQ comes back in 2026. Happy new year!

I'm so excited to share my first-ever feature article! Link in comments

40 Percent of Stroke Animal Studies May Have Problematic Images

Red flags during a literature review led to the discovery of over 200 papers on animal models of stroke with duplicated images, which is likely an underestimate.

“E-cigarette juice can have a nicotine concentration as high as 150 millimolar ... And we saw that (lung) toxicity occurs at micromolar levels (1000 times less). It’s just off the scale.” —Jay L. Zweier of the Ohio State University www.asbmb.org/asbmb-.... #ASBMBJournals #asbmbJBC

E-cigarettes drive irreversible lung damage via free radicals

E-cigarettes are often thought to be safer because they lack many of the carcinogens found in tobacco cigarettes. However, scientists recently found that exposure to e-cigarette vapor can cause severe, irreversible lung damage.

Love this piece "Every human has one thing they do better than everyone else. Some people find their singular talent but most never do. Sometimes the universe conspires against them or sometimes they’re too lazy to look. My talent is that I can kick things really, really hard."

Inside JBC: An international group of researchers found that nicotine exposure through the use of e-cigarettes, colloquially known as vaping, led to lung injury in mice. The researchers showed that aldehyde oxidase (AOX) mediates this effect. More from @liuswrites.bsky.social: ow.ly/YnS350VEXV6.
