Soft launching a conspiracy theory that the historical figures on British Banknotes are being replaced by wildlife because in reality they were secretly a race of badger people.

'Should a basic income for the arts feel like a gift horse and operate like a lottery? While Ireland calls itself a “global leader” for making basic income for the arts permanent, the scheme risks reinforcing precarity.'

Secret exciting poetry stuff on the horizon. Can’t wait to share! I apologize for the esoteric post

Starting in April, I'm teaching my popular poetry revision workshop again. This one has four weeks of critique and deep exercises for intensive poetry revision. www.hlwalrath.com/wo...

I just learned that Anthony Bourdain was 44 when he wrote the book that really launched everything we will remember him for. Gonna remind myself of this whenever I feel like I'm getting too old to pursue anything new.

This was wild. The depth, scope, and complexity of all these characters over decades, with personal/meta(?) sections weaved throughout. Held back just enough w/out tipping into overexplaining. This is the kind of craft I admire but don't have the guts or skill to pull off. I was fucking blown away.

hello everyone! today is #smallpoemsunday and it’s also the first day of March, the month at the end of which my new book MOUNTEBANK will be out from @brokensleepbooks.bsky.social :) each day in March I’m planning to share a #soapboxpoem, a small series of poems(/etc.) named for the origin of the…

So delighted to announce we have a release date now! Very very very very excited to share the Sound/Silence issue of Saros SF with the world and immensely grateful to each and every one of these wildly talented writers for trusting me with their work. These are *such* good stories.

The Literary World's Prestigious Taco Bell Quarterly has surpassed 24,000 followers in the sky. I can't even use the Paris Review over here as my villain because I'm crushing them. We are about to surpass Lit Hub. Taco Bell is your Literary Hub now.

TFW you try to write 1000 words but you fail, so you turn into a hat-wearing rodent, and project yourself, with great sadness, above the mountains (even if there are no mountains near you).

I loved Alex’s The Ballad of Perilous Graves, & can’t wait for his next book, which will be the best weird & definitely a banger 💥

I have created a diorama of the Partridge family attacking the Brady Bunch family. My life is very boring.

Me, panic reading the Magical Realism Wiki: Okay, so my writing is magical realist. Okay, actually it’s surrealist fantasy. Wait, actually it’s intrusion fantasy. Wait, okay, NO, it’s fabulist. Oh, never mind, it is magical realist.

“Tehran is burning. And smoke has filled the streets. It’s impossible to drive out of the city right now and even with the windows closed, heavy smoke is making its way inside." Read every word.

Just saying, it would be kinda rad if a poem I wrote at Seattle Worldcon even just got nominated for the Best Poem Hugo.

Water Into Wine is now available on Bookshop.org. bookshop.org/p/books/wate...

Just to note another guardian article on this survey indicated that the remains in armagh represent 6000+ items representing 10 individuals (!). If that’s accurate they - the guardian - might rethink how they represent this information! www.theguardian.com/world/2026/m...

“I focus on a pair of climate fictions set around bodies of water: A. S. Byatt's “Sea Story” (2013) and Vajra Chandrasekera's “Half-Eaten Cities” (2018).” I'm continually delighted by how far this one short story of mine has reached. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/...

Equally amazed to see that Armagh, Banbridge, & Craigavon have the 6th largest holding of stolen human remains. I always find this upsetting. The remains should be returned to Egypt and their other rightful homes.

Last promo today, just popping this up again. Online a few more weeks. Very kind of Undertow to make it available temporarily. If it it intrigues you, you can support the indie publisher and maybe grab a book (any book! they're all killer. so many killer collections). Ty. undertowpublications.com

Was on an archaeological dig - the team had located and excavated a tomb. I had only just arrived, 19 years old and clueless. I climbed up the mountain and fell into the tomb. I’ve never stopped feeling guilty & stupid over this

My end goal is to raise $5,000! This will give our family a much needed cushion until my stepdad's Army pension kicks in. Thank you so much to people who have already donated! ❤️ if you haven't yet please consider donating and if you can't share this!

If folks can keep boosting and sharing @ingloriousgigi.bsky.social's fundraiser for the loss of their stepfather in such a difficult time, they're trying to raise $5k to help their family.

I was invited to be on Ancient Aliens in 2013, because my undergrad advisor gave the producer my personal email when he wanted them to stop asking him. Needless to say, I declined 👽 🛸 🏺 🛕
