I really like the size of this latte. What I don’t like is that the cup has no handle. Minimalistic esthetic and all, I get it, but pleeease 🙄 #writerslife

Then he thought about how much he loved everything; the forest and the sea, the rain and the wind, the sunshine, the grass and the moss, and how impossible it would be to live without them all… Comet in Moominland 1946 Tove Jansson #BookWormSat

I feel space — tangled and expecting

Part of functional literacy is being able to understand, on your own, the concept that the writer is writing for a specific audience. That the thing has a specific context. Like, an article about dog grooming is addressed to dog owners. It does not need to include cat grooming.

NEW STORY: “First Human Ghost on Mars” in the March issue of Clarkesworld. I’m thrilled and honored to be included alongside so many talented authors!

And so the March Micro Marathon @smokelong.bsky.social begins 💪💪💪 #writerslife

Summer leaps at us like a #crazed jaguar bursting out of its cage. We gasp, gulping overheated air, pollen, dust. No shade is cool enough to hide us. Beyond the shallowed river, a new data center chews through our dreams and spits out statistical probabilities and rising stock prices. #vss365

Welp, it turns out that our university building is no longer open on weekends. I feel like I’m being forced to observe a healthy work-life balance, and I’m not grateful 🧐 #writerslife #randomobservations

The mermaids of the White Sea are rather #beastly this tme of year. Off the coast if Archangelsk, they wallow in the waves, drag bone combs through their green hair, tangle the fishing nets and hiss at the ships’ cats. The cats hiss back. #vss365

Thrilled to have my first story of 2026 published by the lovely @hexliterary.bsky.social ☺️ 📚💙 This is an extremely short fairytale 👇

I've just realised it's the one-year anniversary of publishing What Saints Fear! If you like dark tales of macabre relics and holy comeuppances, then I have the book for you... With demon-addicted scribes, factory-farmed relics and murderous monks - and more More info and link below 👇👇

He’s had enough of the #enchanted forest. The politics of mushrooms, the hysteria of bubbling streams, and the constant hype of butterflies make him sick. In the early hours of the morning, he boards a stinky Greyhound bus, closes his eyes, and dreams of the concrete and fumes of the city. #vss365

In hindsight perhaps letting the most antisocial techbros decide how we communicate whilst also letting them have full control over what art becomes popular with their algorithms was a terrible idea.

Uncial or majuscule, cursive or #minuscule. The words sound like music to your ears. You learn to distinguish papyrus from parchment, study the texture of vellum, the smooth glide of paper sheets under your fingertips. The art of paleography is an obscure one and yet, you regret nothing. #vss365

I find a #lacuna in my memory. A shallow hollow where once our friendship bloomed. When you left, you uprooted your life from mine so thoroughly that nothing can grow in its place. It is a desolation point, a bed of sorrow, an empty socket, a finall call. #vss365

Joining this adventure was one of the best decisions I ever made. I’m not exaggerating 😊

It’s not spring yet but there are tulips 🌷 #writerslife

Your #vss365 #prompt for Feb 10 is #ache "I wish to run my trembling fingers long Through the black tangles of your heavy hair, To plunge my aching head amorous of Your skirts as into secret, perfumed bowers, To breathe your scent as from pale withered flowers" 'Le Léthé', Charles Baudelaire #10
