my poetic assistant is really sleeping on the job as i give this year's #2daycontest2026 poem my last polish! but she's full of pizzazz so i guess it's alright. thanks for another fun weekend @cv2magazine.bsky.social! i think this one might've been the hardest one yet!

unexpected emergencies have made this #2daypoem2026 weekend very complicated and hectic but i already have a first draft! which is much more than i can say for previous years. it features costco hotdogs somehow...

NEVERMIND. I GOT THE DATES WRONG. so thrilled i can enter this year 🥰🥰🥰

once again blocked from entering CV2's #2daypoemcontest by law exams!!!! this time it's the bar exam but STILL. i want to POEM instead 😭

Thank you to @eventmags.bsky.social for publishing two of my lil poems! What a privilege it is to be read so carefully and kindly. This piece in particular was written in the heat two summers ago and she's finally found her home 🌊

rejection streak is FINALLY over!!! and it was my first multi-poem acceptance 🥹🥹

lots of tiered rejections lately so my streak continues 🙈 hard to keep pushing forward but will try to do so

Submitted chapbook manuscript for the first time 🙈

also i got married two days ago or whatever 🤭💐

picking up two cats today!! 🥹🥹🥹

updating this to SIX. who am i!

i have FIVE submissions in progress right now. this is practically a miracle and has never occured before LOL (i should probably sub more)

absolutely despise the fact that AI users are flooding cross stitch patterns on etsy now 🙃🙃🙃

Poetry book mail today!!! Can't wait to dig into these ❣️

I love my echo chamber where everyone values the humanity of other people and enjoys the arts.

if you are feeling helpless, a simple but incredibly valuable thing that many of us can do after a catastrophe is sign up to donate blood and plasma. www.blood.ca/en

So sad to hear about the tragedy at the Lapu Lapu festival tonight in Vancouver Some emergency response resources organized by the mabuhay house docs.google.com/document/d/e...

Much love for Filipinx comrades and community impacted by horrific violence during Lapu-Lapu Day celebrations. For ppl seeking support such as meal train or counseling, you can access resources thru Filipinx-led mutual aid network coming together. Share widely: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I'M DONE LAW SCHOOL 😭😭😭🎊🎊🎊

I'll be finishing my last final ever tomorrow(!!) then jumping right into these words 👀 Hypocorism is definitely going to be a problem child hahah

Nothing makes me more productive in submitting poetry than studying for exams ‼️ two subs done today

This is high art

Someone on twt gave me a prompt for a golden shovel about the body and with a two word title FOUR YEARS AGO. i finally finished the poem after thinking about it and attempting to write it for aaaaages 🫡

I know the "in-progress" status change means NOTHING on submittable but it still gives me a lil thrill

Happy birthday, CV2! So delighted to get my contributor's copy today. This piece still feels a little too raw to share on my other socials, but bsky and canlit friends are always a safe space. Hopefully the first of many ⚖️ poems to come!

mustered up the courage to submit to two dream mags today 🥹🙏🏻

Hi friends, is anyone willing to chat with me about submitting chapbooks? I've never done it before so would really appreciate some insight!! Particularly re: Canadian presses 🥰🙏🏻

thinking a lot about cruelty lately

just need one last image to finish this poem 🤔🤔🤔

Last semester of law school starts tomorrow (finally)! Sooo looking forward to being done LOL

Finally finished this semester. Tax law sucked all the joy from my life but it's over now at least 🥲🥲🥲

I hate to admit it but the people who kept telling me not to worry and that I'd end up where I'm meant to be were absolutely right 🙈🤭

she's a baby

i want to write poems like sunflowers. except they make you cry and think about family and friends and the moon.

Litigation is just so... fun? I never thought I'd feel that way when I started law school but I get to use my creative writing brain all the time!! I love playing with language!!

I have a much anticipated meeting today about a dream job and many have emailed me and texted me wishing me luck 😭😭😭 i love my friends icb they remembered 😭

Submitted poems for the first time in half a year! ✨️ (Needed to feel something other than dread)

Haven't been here in a hot minute because I forgot my password and procrastinated resetting it way too hard oops

Kitten paws

Lol, reposting onto Bluesky a Twitter post that was posted onto Tumblr

This post has been haunting me all day. This hits home.

Delighted to be on Pulp Literature's shortlist for the Kingfisher Poetry Prize! 🥰🫶

If anyone in publishing, literary mentorship, or editing, is hiring for part-time remote positions or near Vancouver, primarily sitting down, please consider me. I’m a young author looking for income since becoming disabled due to a cancer diagnosis and surgery. 🙏 isabellawangbc.weebly.com/cv.html

Preparing poems to submit to two contests and I'm nervous!!! I feel like the poems are largely done but maybe I'm wrong and I should just edit endlessly 🫠
