James Tadd Adcox ~ Three Stories About Loss - New World Writing Quarterly Unable to Sleep For several nights now he had believed himself unable to sleep. Each morning he would rise remembering having spent the previous eight hours

"She’d had a dream the night before, or perhaps just before awakening, in which she was attempting to extract, without puncturing herself, a long needle from her throat."

"If this is your writing, great work! This is an astoundingly strong piece of writing. If it is not yours, if you have submitted work of AI as your own, then I am disappointed, and borderline disgusted by the reality of the situation. What a terrible way to approach an education you are paying for."

big boy!

The Company of Wolves (2007)

this is a good opportunity to add that i think much of what people claim about very short fictions is hyperbolic, or just bullshit, but this one really is a wonder.

i have taught this story to undergrads a number of times and yes, perfect

it is almost difficult to be reminded how much obvious care went into this video. my god we had it good.

pretty expensive, honestly! 300-level but centered. good view, yeah. well, my first concert! roll the bones, right, 1992, giant early-gen CGI skeleton on the big screen rapping. not good, no. of course i'll wear the shirt. my wife. chicago.

ama about the rush tickets i bought last night

this, um, explains a whole lot. thanks for sharing the inside look.

a banger.

extremely happy for krasznahorkai, of whose work i am certain i've read more than you

A certain legacy-media editorial board recommended capitulation in the face of Trump’s invasion, but on the South Side, we believe Chicagoans should keep standing up for one another.

solidarity with all academics working today and especially those suffering death threats and maybe, it seems, even more.

that's it. those are the two.

i am back in a college classroom this semester after several semesters away. i thought i'd share some pro tips that make my writing classroom so great.
1) don't penalize for lateness
2) you can't catch LLM stuff, there's no point trying, but you can vigorously shame anyone who uses it
