Hellllooooo from the static! It is fundraising season for many spec mags out there. We are doing things a little differently with a small gofundme to help us into 2026. We are already at $2 and just need a little boost to help us to our goal of $2400 👻 www.gofundme.com/f/support-th...

SO incredibly gorgeous and vividly haunting, and such a Vee story too.

The story would not be possible without so many critique partners and cheerleaders like Emmi 💜

My fave short fiction read this week was from @kaunvijaya.bsky.social in BCS about how war is a complex hell for the heart. Loads more story depth, setting detail and emotion than I thought possible at this length and with inexorable pacing. www.beneath-ceaseless-skies.com/stories/post...

🥺😭

I really liked this story, definitely recommend it!

ATTENTION !!!!!

There is an audio version of my story now for your listening pleasures!!!

Palestinian families like Ahmad's are being starved to death & displaced once again in Israel's genocidal famine & siege. Bsky keeps deleting him. Please help by sharing his latest account & donating if you've anything to spare:
