Nostalgia, teen angst, & laser tag along a now lost stretch of coastal highway. Do yourself a favor. Take a break from the insanity of our times & get lost in Lenny Owens’s “Laser Challenge.” The retro vibe of the Y2KQ journal also makes for an awesome reading experience

Just wanted to share what looks to be a pretty fantastic collection from @frazzledlit.bsky.social. I haven’t published with them so this isn’t a self-plug, etc., but they do an amazing job putting out thoughtful, well-written, and engaging work and do a ton of good for the broader community.

The fact we have an executive class that doesn't know what to do with the Looney Tunes or The Muppets really sums up what a joyless, barren world they inhabit.
There are currently no active conversations for a full ‘MUPPET SHOW’ series revival.
Disney, The Muppets Studio and Point Grey Pictures have had difficulties with deciding on a premise for the series that they can all agree on.

Happy to have “Morning” in the most recent issue of The Indianapolis Review. This poem follows an early summer morning performing PT exercises as part of a treatment and maintenance program for chronic health issues.

God bless editors that let you know when you just missed publishing something with them, especially when they provide additional context and advice.
Everyone is busy, I know, so this often isn’t possible, but it means so much in an industry that can really beat you down at times.

Does anyone know of any lit agents who accept query letters via posts on Bluesky? I'm always on a baseball sideline these days. No computer, but yes phone. Maybe some agents you can just call? Maybe text-a-query? Submit via weather app or solitaire? Send 'em a really long voice note?
While we're at it:
Hey literary agents, my query letter literally ends with "In my wildest dreams, the book gets a shout-out on Inside the NBA and inspires Charles Barkley to start a book club." If this sounds up your alley, let's talk. 🤘🏼🏀
