Actual @nytimes headline. So much of the bonkers shit I made up for my novel SHIT LIST (about a Trumpian president, NBA basketball, and indie rock) is actually fucking happening,
I voted early for the August 4 primary. No wait at all, but election workers said it's been steady since voting started last week. If you want advice: vote NO on the constitutional amendment; vote for Ethan Spurling for Douglas County Commissioner. Ethan supports a ban on data centers in the county.
ATTN: Recent graduates and applicants who did not find a home in the creative-writing MFA market this year. The Kansas State English Department has a few GTA positions for the fall. K-State's MA program has a long track record of sending people on to excellent MFA programs.
After a heartfelt and robust comment session, the Lawrence City Commission tonight changed its proposed one-year AI data center moratorium to a two-year moratorium and passed it 5-0. #LFK
Everyone's rooting for Norway, right? They've got Haaland. They've got that rowing thing. They've got those Viking hats. They've got a Little Guy who jumps on the shoulders of another Little Guy!
It's not too early to get the 14th Annual Rock and Roll Reading, an AWP off-site, on your calendar: March 17 — St. Patrick's Day! — in Wrigleyville @gmantavern.com. Readings to start at 6. The room holds about 100—we will fill it! Be there or be a parallelogram with four equal sides. #AWP27 #AWP
Here's my Jaylen Brown to his hometown Atlanta Hawks trade. Atlanta sends Boston picks too. #Celtics
INJURED? IN A WRECK? DID YOUR TEAM TRADE NAZ REID? CALL KEVIN GARNETT!
It's March Madness, and you know what's really weird, Billy "the Kid" Donovan led Providence to the Final Four, I don't know, 20 years ago. Anyway, his dad coaches the Chicago Bulls now! Bet Billy's playing overseas somewhere because we're both so young, so young, so incredibly young.
If you’re asked to do a panel with @sophiestern.bsky.social and @shanders.bsky.social, you are lucky indeed. #AWP #AWP26

Great readings from some @whiskeytit.com homies on Thursday night. @adamalsirgany.bsky.social @ginatron.bsky.social and @dfitzgerraldo.bsky.social. And huge thanks to Miette Gillette, the genius behind it all. #AWP #AWP26
As she does, @mlfaliveno.bsky.social summoned up ghosts of the past, sometimes through music, even through Third Eye Blind. For a minute, they're there with you, the ghosts. They follow you home. #AWP #AWP26 (11 of ?)
Do not believe Tom's poet friend at all when he says he hung with the Doobie Brothers, but Tom himself, @tmcallister.bsky.social, is the real deal from any angle. #AWP #AWP26 (10 of ?)
She absolutely owns the stage—I repeat, @poeticmoni.bsky.social owns the stage. She explores desire and pain with fearlessness, ferocity too. #AWP #AWP26 (9 of ?)
Taco Bell Quarterly boss @mickcarrigan.bsky.social opened himself up with a piece about selective mutism. It was raw and real and so good—we heard the raisins shake. #AWP #AWP26 (8 of ?)
Oh, fuck, @dylanpyles.bsky.social's flash fiction about the hardcore subgenre powerviolence needs to be published somewhere, like now. #AWP #AWP26 (7 of ?)
