Hi friends! I have a new story out today in the June issue of @pitheadchapel.bsky.social that can best be summarized as "divorced dad has a weird time at the YMCA" and I hope you'll give it a read! pitheadchapel.com/belly/

I went from reading a few books a year to around one a week. I wanted to write down how I got there, how it involved rethinking my relationship to attention, and why I believe reading books can heal your brain. I hope this gives you something useful! johnpaulbrammer.substack.com/p/how-i-lear...

I'm still doing a GoFundMe to help my parents rebuild after a devastating house fire. The costs of doing so, with an uninsured house, are extremely high. My parents are elderly and low-income and my disabled brother lives with them. I deeply appreciate shares of this link! gofund.me/ac93c03d5

Given how broken social media algorithms are at this point, it feels damn near impossible to get anyone's eyes on anything, but my little brother just told me he loved my new story so much he read it twice, and now I don't care if anyone else reads anything I write ever again. 😭😭😭😭😭😭

I know it doesn't happen this way, but I'm still manifesting: The dream cover for my book features this ashtray sitting on a formica table with three cigarettes burning in it.

A tin ashtray shaped like the state of Kentucky, with several state landmarks represented.

I genuinely love when I'm engaging with a piece of art I don't really like but think is nonetheless good. It always feels like an important opportunity to think more critically about art in general and about my own taste.

Moving into an apartment with west-facing bedroom windows is the best thing that's happened to me all year.

A window with blinds opened. Outside the window, hazy pink sunset light illuminates taller trees.

One of my favorite parts of queer adulthood is learning how many of us had the experience of clocking queer subtext in assigned school reading only to be told by students and teachers alike that we were off base, then growing up and realizing how fucking CORRECT we were.

Read all 3 Garth Greenwell novels recently, and damn, I am fully Greenwell-pilled. Small Rain is a Mary Poppins bag, fitting so much life into a story so singularly focused. Mitko from WBTY belongs on a list of all-time great fiction characters. Cleanness might actually be a perfect book. Christ.

True: @zohranmamdani lives in 1 unit of rent-stabilized housing. Also true: Andrew Cuomo oversaw the loss of 96,064 units of rent-stabilized housing. And killed NYC’s program helping people move out of shelter. Leaders must show moral clarity. Andrew, time to move out. 🧵 x.com/andrewcuomo/...

The most D&D sentence I can say is this: moments after the death of a horny stinky witch named Smelda, I got to be my real-life husband's best man when his halfling PC married a vampire hunter in a lich's living room. I don't know what people think this game is, but it's at least 50% shit like this.

When I hear people describe themselves as content creators.

An older Orson Welles sitting down for an interview, but with a meme quote that says: Content, content, content! A taco possesses content. A ship's manifest. An owner's manual for the operation of a microwave. Was Botticelli a content creator? Did Joyce wreck himself in chasing English to its limits "for the vine"? My God, man; have a little self respect.
