Remembered I woke up in the middle of the night to write down something from my dream that I was sure was profound and not to be forgotten. Looked at my notepad this a.m. to find: 'Reverse engineer a cockney phrase to explain why the idea that women smell like cat piss is misogynistic'

The BEST part of getting old (and there are many) is that you can ABSOLUTELY miss something wildly popular. Zooshas just flying by while you’re admiring someone’s sensible shoes or whatever. Bliss.

Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story. For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards. Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

This is one of my favorite types of stories. Get an expert who is a Good Sport to talk about something that's popping in pop culture & explain what we know about history / science / murder / etc. and have a fun conversation:

I mean, if we are talking young-young it might be Edward Gorey, not sure why I had a copy of Gashlycrumb Tinies at age 4 or 5. Later on, maybe Andy Kaufman? Ivan Brunetti? Wesley Willis? But not sure. Honestly can't recall a time when I never believed art to be expansive and limitless.

Ok I don't call what I do a career, I've written ~ 30 stories and published ~ 20 since I switched to writing from art but I want to take the opportunity to thank @hfr.bsky.social for publishing my first horror story and also @turnandwork.com for recognizing and championing my work from the get-go.

If you're a writer or a fan of flash fiction and you'd like to share some, this is your chance. I'd love a guest submission for this week's Shortlist. It's not hard: send me a six (or more) pieces you love, with a link and a note about why you loved each. Here's an example:

When I went to my husband's gigs in the U.S. it was like I was invisible. Had to chase down servers, etc., don't know what was up w that ettiquette. Totally opposite in Mexico. Treated like a queen. They pay musicians better, too. Music is respected as a profession.
