"The Devil as activist knows what they want out of the world they help build, and they choose to do the work accordingly. They confront their darkest truths, the ways they perpetuate oppression through the practices they can’t seem to release." — @feminnis.bsky.social, "Tarot for the Hard Work"

Oh wow what an incredible opportunity 🧡 I’m due for a re-read. @barbaramcveigh.bsky.social want to join me?

There are so many delightful layers to this flash piece — and that ending! The descriptions! Breathtaking 😍 @emilymroth.bsky.social @havehashad.com www.havehashad.com/hadposts/wha...

“There’s an awkward silence during which you glare at Amir, sitting next to you with his bland husband smile, no help at all. When Katie comes back she’s got a baby. She’s like, God DAMN it. I knew this was gonna happen.” @sashabrown.bsky.social Woosh! Another winner for @splitlipthemag.bsky.social

"Elizabeth Cary’s husband, Sir Henry, was a dead weight on his wife’s soaring talent as a playwright. When he left for two years to fight in Protestant wars... his mother hired someone to write letters to him in Elizabeth’s name in case her husband found her obvious intelligence repellent." 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

"The 12th-century mystic, Hildegard von Bingen, compared cheese making to the miracle of life in the way that it forms curds (or solid matter) from something insubstantial" A fun read for a Friday!

"There on the berm, holding the line, stood sunroots and coneflowers and tiny purple blooms I could picture on a skirt my grandmother might have worn. Or maybe my mother wore. I wanted to wear them too." @maureenlangloss.bsky.social in @smokelong.bsky.social to close out the year:

Xmas time is here! Grisly and spooky just how I like 'em: @michaelcarter.bsky.social in @molotovlitzine.bsky.social

I read Jezebel daily through my 20s and was really saddened when it closed earlier this year. I’m delighted to see that it’s BACK BABY:

@undertow.bsky.social oh hell yes!!!

"...at her smallest, weighs the same as a sharpened No. 2 pencil and who, at her largest, weighs little more than a palmful of garlic cloves." 😍 I love these measures of weight by @kcmeadbrewer.bsky.social in their @flashfrog.bsky.social flash that I've *finally* read (tab open for MONTHS):

Reminder to anyone who needs it: Other authors are not a threat. Their success does not diminish yours. Their popularity does not affect your chance of being read. The more the author community thrives, the better your chance to do so.

This piece on Michael Stipe 😭 Everything about Stipe, in this article at least, is absolutely lovable, adorable, endearing. He's the sensitive uncle/auntie we all could only dream of being blessed to have in our corner. *And* he's like a patron saint of writer's block.

The first more-or-less 2 lines of the first poem in your submission packet is, without doubt, the most important part. #writers #writing #submissionscall #calls #tacotuesday Send us some CNF, also, folks ::: stormcellar.submittable.com/submit
