The Cat in the Hat (2026)

I've been looking up sick cat stuff, and all my targeted ads are these bullshit snake oil things like "maybe if you paid $200 for this UV filtered fountain, your cat will live forever" and it makes me so fucking angry how the purpose of the internet is now to squeeze extra money from hurting people.

“Women who average more than 8.4 points, 2.3 rebounds, or 1.3 assists per game clearly have an unfair biological advantage over women who don’t, and we need to maintain a level playing field.” — Sophie Cunningham

months of life keeping me from being able to write have gotten too frustrating, so I'm just making a conscious decision to not care anymore. if i never write again, whatever. i don't need to put that pressure on myself. you kids have fun with it. go change the world

I’m a Browns fan, but do I like the Browns? God no, they’re my least favorite team.

I’ve never been as proud of my own writing as i am with “Lash Egg.” I’m thrilled with how well this story accomplished what I set out to do with it.

Is it even an apology if you don’t take a moment to announce that it’s a drive to deep left field by Castellanos, it’ll be a home run?

“As a white man, accountability should look like it always has: i don’t face any personal consequences and you all pretend I didn’t do anything.” My summary of the HWA president candidate’s remarks.

Matthew was ahead of the game with this piece. Check it out for some data center hate.

I’ve got some stories that are good that I’d like to get out there, but I am too tired to deal with the process of submitting things. Oh well. Maybe next year.

These boots are made for writing I think they’re pretty neat One of these days I’m gonna Write a story with my feet

The clearest sign yet that I am in a dystopia was when my rooftop #garden began charging me a subscription fee. $5.99 for the Pepper Tier (with ads), $9.99 for the Tomato Tier (no ads, also no flavor), or the absurd $14.99 Heirloom Tier. I tried to save seeds, but they were password-locked. #vss365

Today's the day. The future is here. Update your neurals, jack in, find Midwestern Chrome and bliss out. Only @tenebrouspress.bsky.social This book means the world to me & I wanted to thank everyone who checked it out early & had some nice things to say.

There’s a German word, “Fernweh,” which is like homesickness but for a faraway place, maybe one you’ve never been to. I need a similar word that’s like nostalgia for the world we were promised when we were younger that never came to fruition.

@alexebenstein.bsky.social should we warn them not to touch it?

I should probably pay less attention to the fact that the world is unbelievably hostile toward the creative pursuits right now, more so than ever in my life. It's really dragging me down and making it feel like none of this is worthwhile anymore. idk.

Literally one of the best parts of working at a local bakery with a single location is that everything is authentic. There's no corporate anything to it. Just a few people making bread and sweets by hand and selling them locally.

Hey man, maybe just make the sandwiches and take a pic of them.

"The universe always trends toward #chaos. So much of our lives are spent in an attempt to keep entropy at bay. Why chase such futility? Why fight the inevitable? Embracing disorder is the sign of a well-adjusted mind." "For the last time, Aiden, you still have to clean your room!" #vss365

The important thing was finally realizing it was over. You knew already, but you stayed anyway. Because you still loved me enough to let me take the scenic route to where we were heading, whispering in my ear, “Turn here,” so when I #arrived, I’d know deep down it’s what I wanted too. #vss365

When I feel less than human I remind myself the degree to which I’m capable of acting irrationally. I #brake check a cop, overdraw my bank account by a minuscule amount, make life decisions drunk, drive away friends, and keep looking for the secret to being alive and happy simultaneously. #vss365

I've been making fruit hand pies at my bakery for the last several months, and they're becoming locally famous. Every month is a different flavor. I'm switching from July's peach pie to August's plum this week.

you ever have so many things, people, and creatures to take care of that you forget to take care of yourself?

I think if Messi kicked a ball at my face from point blank range my head would just fly right off my body

Now is a great time to read Split Scream volume 8, with my novelette, “Lash Egg!”

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: it sucks that these people are friends. If they truly believe in the things they claim to stand for, their consciences would not allow them to be friends with their political opponents.

What I’ll remember most about Senator Graham was his sense of humor and how he deployed it to move his policy positions forward. Though we did not often agree, Senator Graham was never disagreeable.
