Two things:
1) The ligaments around my knee would turn to ash like an Avenger at the end of Infinity War if I tried to stop on one foot like Avdjia did on that oop pass play.
2) Pistons in 6 in '26.
Hot damn
Well, it is for every other team at least!
100%. Either fix the calls or go Mahorn on 'em.
It really read like that to me! Such a good and cool book. Great work, man!
It’s a BuzzFeed article full of tweets from X, The Everything App, but I truly found this to be fascinating and delightful:
People Of Color Are Revealing Their Favorite White People Traits, And The Public Pooping Comment Has Me Dead www.buzzfeed.com/kristatorres...
Someday this book will be published, and someday I'll get interviewed about it, and someday when you all wonder why I keep answering questions with "I'm just trying to beat shit," please remember this:

Just finished it a few days ago. So good!
That might be a little unique to Michigan I guess, eh? :-)
That's my favorite beach, everyone! Give it up for my beach.
Hell yeah, Norm. Thanks.
After Listening to a Lecture on Form JOSEPH MILLAR I'm afraid of the mountains in this thin glacial air, of going to sleep in their shadow, that the granite inside them and the threads of bright metal may not hold once the night comes. I'm afraid of so many people talking, the cat smile of the poetry scholar, his ridged skull.
When he spoke of measure I could feel my wristwatch tighten, remembered the payments coming due on my daughter's tuition. I went down by the horses. Birds were walking in the hay beside the feet of the Appaloosa. He looked at me sideways in the swaying dusk. The wheels of his jawbones, the great vein in his face. Sometimes I can hardly breathe.
Sheesh, I fell behind in this poem-per-day deal. This is #18. I'm reading Finger Exercises for Poets by Dorianne Laux, which is great but also highlights lots of example poems, including this by Joseph Millar.
My little suggestion today is that if you have to read a T.S. Eliot poem you put, “Girl,” in front of the first line & read the rest in the voice of a drag queen reading someone to filth.
Never tell anyone they're wrong on the internet. Not even if they're saying "Charlie Brown had hoes." Walk away with your hands in your pockets. Breathe deeply. Go into a bar and order a whisky. So he didn't have hoes; the facts say otherwise. It's not worth your life.

Dear NBA,
I KNOW it is all about the money and you don’t care about our convenience, but this having to use 3 different streaming services to watch playoff games each night is, (and I say this with all the love I can for the game,) complete horseshit.
Hasn't worked yet, but maybe someday... 🤞🏼
Right?! I suppose that's a non-standard thing to put in a query letter, but at the same time, I figured any agent who liked it would be a great fit, y'know?
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. 🤘🏼🏀

YES. A character in my novel manuscript literally says "I bet Marvin Gaye could ball," and I love getting confirmation.
[Types "You snooze, you lose" in the required explanation when withdrawing in Submittable.]
Maybe! It certainly stands out as an anomoly, so I'm not freaking out yet.
Hell yeah!
Pistons played arguably their worst game of the whole season last night. That's unlikely to continue, so avoid the replies and comments sections today, buddards.
VERY COOL PERSON: It's four-twenty, you know what that means?
ME: Hell yeah! [starts shoving blackbirds into a pie]
The subject line from an email I received: I'm a bad girl and I need to be punished.
How did this become my responsibility?
Coachella is trying to wipe all of the footage of The Strokes protest set so I’m gonna post it here. The last images on the screen made me cry.
Believe!
Just kidding. Pistons in 6 in '26.
You develop certain skills as a sports fan growing up in Michigan. For example, when America's sweethearts the Detroit Pistons revealed they're not ready for playoff primetime last night, I was sad but then saw the silver lining that I won't have to worry about buying finals tickets.
