@housleydave Those are some 5-star shirt cubbies! Is it even AWP if you’re not digging through a giant box of shirts looking for a size we sold out days ago?!

@mikeingram00 Update: 100% certain. Keep an eye on me whenever we’re in DC to make sure I don’t have any sort of central Wisconsin band kid Manchurian Candidate programming that will click in and make me storm the capitol.

@mikeingram00 I’m like 85% sure one of the defendants is the kid of my hometown high school band director, truly making this the stupidest timeline.

@barrettbowlin BRB going to go follow you on the platform that’s not actively disintegrating…

@barrettbowlin HIIIIIIIIIIII!!!!

@housleydave @Aaron__Burch Forks and Uncle Jimmy's Bartman speech are streamable therapy for my whole heart.

[Becky Barnard @beckybarnard]

@mikeingram00 Or a warning? Keep your vibe chill and don’t tap on the glass of this zoo creature I travel with?

[Becky Barnard @beckybarnard]

@mikeingram00 The chill vibe enforcer.

Mind = blown by this talk on using design thinking in your drafting. Sh*t like this is why @barrelhouse #CCDC23 is the best!

I got to preview this issue while loading it on the website and folks: there was an inordinate amount of impressed cussing and staring off into middle distance while I did so. Fantastic editing, @kbcarle!

[Carrie Beth Esposito @CarrieBEsposito]

I had such a great conversation with an editor @barrelhouse Writer Camp that revived my novel PLUS there’s fireworks. 🎇

And a crescent roll treat made over the fire by the proprietor you won’t want to miss.

Also you get to say “I carried a watermelon” and then DANCE.

The highlight of every semester is when I get to teach @mcarphil’s “Yellowshirt Elegy” and suddenly all of my students realize that this poem they thought was about Star Trek is actually about them here, at college, telling their parents everything’s fine when it’s not
