Surprising no one, I enjoy food porn as a mood booster. Especially when it's low stakes, people gathering to enjoy the food and each other stories.

ONLY 5 DAYS LEFT! Get your invite to #TheCookout!

Less than one week left to back THE COOKOUT anthology of speculative fiction from the African Diaspora. Only 250 to go until we open public submissions (paying at least 10 cents per word), and just over 1k to go until we're funded. You can push us over the top! #authors #readers #speculativefiction

To lift my spirits, I love a story that is dense with fantasy and strange little things. The more whimsical, the better. Very "Calgon, take me away!" type of stories.

5 Days Left to fund an amazing new Project: The Cookout: Spec Fic from the African Diaspora. And we have a question: What sort of stories do you like to read to lift your spirits?

Yessss!!! This project is going to be 🔥🔥🔥
