@SteveCicirelli At the very least use a tablet! When someone reads aloud from a phone it always looks like they're reading from Wikipedia or WebMD.

@JaggedAuthor Your Internet is a lot more "safe for work" than mine (unless Snoopy is in a BDSM relationship with Superman, in which case about the same).

@CitizenBego I'm with you. I barely visit this place anymore, and when I checked in this morning all I saw were annoying takes on both sides.

If a story appears in TWO anthologies, that means it isn't a fluke, right?

I've become one of those people who only posts to self-promote, so people will be right to ignore me. But being a Best American Short Stories contributor is too big a deal not to shout it into the void. Thanks so much @cathompsn @pronounced_ing @Harvard_Review @NicoleALamy etc.

"He was delivering a homily, that much was obvious. But what mystical old-man wisdom was he trying to impart?" Thoughts on reading Nathan Curtis Roberts' short story, "Yellow Tulips" from #BestAmericanShortStories2025 sloopie72.wordpress.com/2025/12/11/bas…

It's publication day for this beauty, and the rest of the Best American anthology series! (I always knew I was one of the best Americans, I just needed @MarinerBooks to prove it!)

@AndrewPorter01 @cathompsn @pronounced_ing @Harvard_Review @NicoleALamy I just found my contributor copy lodged in the mailbox, so I'm not sure it's properly out yet. I look forward to reading yours as well!

It still doesn't feel real, but I've started getting emails from the @MarinerBooks marketing people, so apparently I really am going to be in Best American Short Stories 2025! Thank you @Harvard_Review @cathompsn @pronounced_ing

Today in @TexasMonthly, Dina Gachman writes about THE SLIP, about the real gym that inspired it, and how a gay Massachusetts twentysomething with artistic aspirations (me 👋🏼) ended up there. 🥊
