@rrmitchell.bsky.social Thank you for featuring my flash story, "Pancake" in your latest Friday Micro! A joy to discover :)

Oh, so touching @sarahillswrites.bsky.social I love the list of Evan's things and how you tie it together here: "...and doesn’t this room still whiff of Evan, a nebula of deodorant and sweat and weed, some texture we can’t touch?" A stunning micro! #flashfiction

This is stunning, @thewritelifeliz.bsky.social "He is unaware that anything has changed, though to Agatha it feels almost physical. She is a newborn porcupine whose spines only harden after several hours in the world." So many sentences I kept returning to. Fantastic story!

Thanks so much, Linda! This was born out of SmokeLong Fitness and I'm so thrilled that it found a home.

I can't wait to read this. She's fantastic!

I highly enjoyed the episode with you and @kevinjacobsen.bsky.social Much more entertaining than this movie!

I love book recs of all stripes. I've read three recently that stuck with me (not brand new releases): Lonesome Dove (Larry McMurtry), The Briar Club (Kate Quinn), and Actress...Of a Certain Age (Jeff Hiller, audiobook a must!). Happy reading!

In "fun" news, I was referred to two doctors' offices for autoimmune stuff. Neither is accepting new patients 😂. They might literally be the only two in my network. Oh, U.S. healthcare, you. #whybother

@joereid.bsky.social Every now and then, I shake my fist at your Cinematrix picks. Especially with the Skarsgards this week. "Skarsgards again!" Too many of them. Fist shook.

@aduralde.bsky.social I believe that on a recent (ish) Linoleum Knife episode, you mentioned that The Sheep Detectives was one of your favorite movies of the year. Just coming in hot here to say I agree! Watched it last night. Heart is warmed.

I discovered you, Dave, and Louis through the wonderful now-defunct Pop Rocket podcast. Years and years ago, but my world was opened.

I'm a huge fan of this movie. In fact, I used it in this week's Vulture Cinematrix for Catherine Keener. My friends and I quoted "This is vagina music" forever. Underrated Heche here too!

@annelamott.bsky.social I loved your interview on Wildcard. "I love the cat more than anything. I love Jesus. Jesus and the cat, I love about the same." You never fail to make me giggle (and to keep writing). #cats #writing

Yes, I wish there were so much more Claire in Season 8. It is her story, after all. She's relegated to Supportive Wife for many episodes. I want crazy surgical stuff! I want more Claire/Bree scenes! I don't like the Faith direction, but yeah, have Claire be the focus. Not Fanny.

Michelle Furnace Brosius @michellefb.bsky.social · 15/05/2026

This is perfect and what I need, thank you! I also put Rona Jaffe's "The Best of Everything" and Betty Friedan's "The Feminine Mystique" on my list.

I was kind of stunned! 😄 It's a great book, too.

Michelle Furnace Brosius @michellefb.bsky.social · 14/05/2026

@neglectedbooks.com Thought of you with this one. I'm rewatching Mad Men, so trying to find some gems from the 50s/60s. Look at this heartfelt acknowledgment to his wife! Feels ahead of its time for 1957. #books

This is harrowing! Beautifully and bravely told.

I keep hearing wonderful things about Claudine! Congrats :)

A tale of two tomes... Almost done with book 9 of Outlander and then a big segue into Lonesome Dove! I'm in saga mode. #booksky #outlander #books

I found the book thrilling... I also thought the adaptation of his other novel, "The Martian," was pretty good. I'm excited to see it.

The necklace is also kind of a wedding ring on a chain?! So much to unpack here...

This is tough!! I said, "Oh my god, these costumes are sumptuous," for all five of these films when I first saw them. I would say Cruella and Black Panther: Wakanda Forever took more creative chances - nothing I had ever seen before.

Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is also a fave.

Seconded on 9 & 10. (Except for Paltrow's presence in MS and the cozy alien onesies in Bugonia).

Michelle Furnace Brosius @michellefb.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

This is a stacked year! I hate awards sweeps (makes the season feel even more endless), so I'm happy that the Actor Awards/SAGs pulled some surprises. Projected favorites are all up in the air (except Buckley). It's going to make for an exciting Oscars!

I just scrolled through a Top 12 "Must Read" list on the NYT, literally judging books by their covers (didn't even bother to read the blurbs/didn't realize I was doing it). Are there any covers that make you automatically go, "Nuh uh"? 📚💙 #booksky #books

Michelle Furnace Brosius @michellefb.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

Yeah, mine is always a weird collection of classic rock, jazz, and that one 90s pop song I got really into again. My end of the year Spotify wrap-up is almost unlistenable as a mix!

This is so worthwhile! A piece I drafted during the Micro Marathon that was published last year made the recent short list for the SmokeLong Quarterly Workshop prize! #flashfiction @smokelong.bsky.social #writing
