oil on canvas painting of a woman, PoV is low and looking up making for strange and compelling framing. The woman is painted pink and she holds a slice of watermelon. Her bathing suit is green.

It's rare that a book makes me laugh out loud, let alone to accomplish that nearly every page, let alone in a book that's as much about isolation and alcoholism and depression as it is about funny. These have become instant recs for CNF for me.

it's "fuck it dawg friday," and also short story month is coming to an end (thankfully it's short story year every year) so here's one last short story. @pitheadchapel.bsky.social is a mag I've been trying to crack from the beginning, so was thrilled when they liked this one enough to run it!

Self Portrait as Unfolded Laundry

Week after week I am undone,
gathered into four

I am at once too many and not at all 
what anybody will need tomorrow

Aubri (seemingly) reached into my brain, pulled out a bunch of my favorite things, and made an incredible story of them. I would lose it all at the Space Casino.

Working on a piece about how parents talk to their kids about *their own* cannabis use now that it’s more socially accepted. Looking to hear from parents + experts (psychologists, pediatricians, substance use counselors). DMs open or email me if you’re up for chatting!

Sam Lipsyte Story I’m Slavering Everybody wanted everything to be gleaming again, or maybe they just wanted their evening back. Everybody was from everywhere...

"It was early, late, lockjaw hour."

Back on my bullshit with another Short Story Month pull. Today, I invite you to read Sam Lipsyte's I'm Slavering, a story that greatly influenced me. When I say I like when stories surprise me, this is a perfect example. A wonder. Dig it--

sharing this again in case anyone wants their afternoon brimmed with the dulcet tones of my deep voice vacillating between laughter, sincere writing advice, and perhaps more eff bombs than I remember
