Thank you Pithead Chapel, for publishing NO OBITS, inspired by a 1998 headline from the Bay Area Reporter to mark the first week since 1981 without new AIDS deaths. The new meds WORKED. Not a cure, but a reprieve. I try to capture that bittersweet moment in this tiny story

I almost felt sorry for conservative folks who were five seconds ago commenting on every Facebook post "uh I don't see any kings here you lib idiots what are you even protesting" just to have the White House tweet this but then I remembered wait no they already forgot they said it they'll be fine.
The victory of the opposition in Hungary yesterday, like the Polish election in 2023, is a victory for democracy, not just in Europe but around the world.
Ah Cuyler that’s so lovely and I’m grateful you made it through one of my longest stories. It’s one of my favourites, Thank you for sharing, I appreciate it
So grateful FFF is again reprinting a slightly older story of mine - Notes For A Eulogy - especially as the ed had to recode his website to make the experimental formatting work! A short version of this came second in the Bridport Prize for flash, but I think it has twice the impact at 500 words.
Can someone watch the second series of BEEF for me please and tell me if it is outstanding or just good. Anything less than outstanding and I will boycott it as I don’t want to soil the memory of the first one - one of my favourite works of art of all time.
Very honoured and grateful to @underreviewlit.bsky.social for nominating me for a Pushcart Prize 2026. I love Everyone Has A Plan, my story about love & kickboxing. It's also the story that landed me my first hring as a screenwriter, so I'm even more grateful. www.underreviewlit.com/issue-11-win...
If you have ever emailed a writer to let them know you enjoyed something they wrote, you are among the noblest and best and most saintly in this entire world, and I hope you sleep really well tonight.
A thought—like an ember that bends truth towards it. Perhaps. If literary magazines valued stories. Characters. People doing things. Not empty metaphors, like ghosts hiding in the hollows of peach pits. Not verbs and vibes voluminous. Perhaps. Perhaps. They wouldn’t keep publishing empty AI bullshit
I'm very proud to have two of my stories in this gorgeous book full of rich, beautiful fiction - 'Wet Brain' and 'Full Circle, Perfect Square'. If you love thoughtful, beautifully written, story-driven, and very short stories, consider getting a copy. The book is modestly priced and beautiful.
