Writer! Dad of 2. Teach @EIU. Book: #GayZooDay. Words: @guardian @rollingstone, @WIRED. Fiction ed. @bluestemmag. Rep: Helen Lane at Ki. Awkwardly cheerful.
I really struggled to write this. Earlier this year, to discovered that the bodycam footage of my comedic, traumatic 2021 arrest had not only been released, it had gone viral on YouTube. Thanks to @guardian for giving me the space to write about it: https://t.co/8zmBTtwQBf
we'll probably have a sub call soon (when? overseen by who? a theme or no? idk!) but, in the meantime, Aaron's other project is open this month
longer short stories (2k-8k words long, w/ 3k-5,500 being the real sweet spot), $150 + paired w/ original art

@jpodhoretz Shutting up is always an option! Are you having a racist rant to revive a stalled career or are you masochistically hoping to gain relevance through willful, grumpy stupidity?
Not one person on the planet actually thinks that Lupita Nyong’o is “the most beautiful woman in the world.” But Christopher Nolan knows that he would be called racist if he gave “the most beautiful woman” role to a white woman. Nolan is technically talented but a coward. Too afraid to do anything that even slightly challenges the spirit of the age.
I'm so excited to share that my short story collection, Is the Sky Falling or Are We Rising Towards the Lord?, will be published by @jacklegpress in February of 2028. JackLeg has published some of my favorite books of recent times, books by writers I admire so much.
It is such an honor to be in their company. I've been in a season of loss in life, of endings, so it's very poignant for me that this book of "endings" has found such a beautiful home. I cannot wait to share more with you in the weeks and months to come.
