@somewordslit.bsky.social granted the Green Bay Packers a Super Bowl ticket somewords.boards.net/thread/24/br...

I got a new poem published in @somewordslit.bsky.social

Thanks @juscarts.com and @somewordslit.bsky.social for publishing my piece about 7th grade lightweight football as part of their Super Bowl special: somewords.boards.net/post/71

Over at @somewordslit.bsky.social, I just published my first poem after a seven year hiatus 😅 It’s about my son & Patrick Mahomes’ knee & about how the Super Bowl sucks this year.

It’d mean a lot to me if y’all checked it out 💞

Really, Really Well It rained. It was raining. We waited inside the paint cans. Your paint can was sundrop. My paint can was gun. The wind was standing by the pantry. Eyeing the eyeglasses. Looking deeply into the seasoning beside the giant mugs of coffee. The coins and the fake teeth and the cheese whiz were not ours. I wanted to tell you first, how I'm sending a message to the chili committee. It will make everything okay. Once it's sent, we'll be doing really well for ourselves. Really, really well. We wait for our paintings to dry. Our paintings are made of stray cattle. Our paintings are made of glass. When the time comes, you add, the sea will no longer sing. I gather my things and read by the pool. Life is cruel yet my arms still work.

New story for you today via @somewordslit.bsky.social

“On the day they ran the new system at work, they had us speak our names into the machine … I said my name, slowly, clearly, with conviction. The machine spat out a new badge that read Slulder Bilnie”

Hey, it’s this week’s schedule!

(I swear one of these days I’ll get better about posting on here.)

Thrilled to have a weird little piece up at @somewordslit.bsky.social today. It's entitled "An Unthinking Person." Thanks, @juscarts.com! Please do not not enjoy: somewords.boards.net/thread/46/ma...

I have a poem up on @somewordslit.bsky.social, a cool new litmag in the style of the internet of yore. It's called."You're Probably Going to Break My Heart." Read it!

Really bad at checking this account, mostly because it takes like three whole clicks to switch accounts. That’s a lot of clicks! Anyway, here’s next week’s schedule.

Grateful to @somewordslit.bsky.social for my final publication of 2025, “Spoons”🙏 This kicka$$ new litmag’s message board format gives the most appealing early internet vibes - check them out! 😊 Direct link below 👇

THE SOME WORDS BIG GAME SPECIAL I used to run my own football forum. In the spirit of that, I want to publish some football stuff on the morning of the Super Bowl. IDK how many things I’ll publish. If I like, I’ll probably say yes. HOW TO SUBMIT: email me a piece + a bio to somewordslit@gmail.com DEADLINE: January 23rd, because I want these submitted before the conference championship games

doing a special call for football pieces

Very stoked to have a new poem up at @somewordslit.bsky.social today. It’s such a cool project. I hope y’all give it a look. Big thanks to editor @juscarts.com for giving this one a home! somewords.boards.net/thread/32/ja...
