Poem accepted for an anthology of queer rural poetry, to be published in January 2027, so that's pretty exciting.

Honestly I feel like a car crash in slow motion and like we all know where this is going and we're just waiting to see how long.

Literally was standing around with a bunch of people after fiction and the rest of them made a plan to go do something and left me behind, so happy Trans Day of Visibility.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. I'm in debt and need to pay taxes soon. Please buy me a coffee? ko-fi.com/shovda

Bottom surgery is a real cock of Theseus situation.

My entire personality might be a product of seeking out internet and particularly fetish spaces where I could find anyone even close to who I wanted to be, but at least it wasn't hand-picked and pushed through 4chan by Jeffrey Epstein, so I've got that going for me, which is nice.

Shot in the dark, but does anyone who follows me have a VGen code? I'm looking to get into the OC/fan writing space. You may know me as a poet, but I've done fiction writing in the past and will be working on it more in the coming quarter in my MFA program, if that helps at all.

I feel...expendable in the spaces I currently exist in. Despite what I've tried to do and what I've tried to stand for, I just feel broken tbh.

Hi, I was interviewed for this. It's a very good read.

So next fall in my MFA program I'll be doing an independent study focused on elegies where the primary project will be a kaizo romhack. Lots of legitimate studying to do, but with a pretty cool overarching output.

Don't talk to me or my dumb son ever again.

I conclude now that I'm the type of ace who likes to make out sometimes and is willing to do more even if it's not my thing, and also sex jokes are still hilarious. Good night.

I had a spark of inspiration for my next hack. I think I'm ready to build again.

She pink. Also, she's a little unbalanced, but she's got the spirit. Thanks for the clothes, @itsjoelle.bsky.social.

I think I need someone to talk to tonight.

Doing the "35% off 5+ gift subs" promo thing for the next 24 hours while I do this subathon thing. ayy lmao twitch.tv/shovda

going live with this impromptu subathon/shovdathon. wish me luck lol twitch.tv/shovda

Yeah I'm going to start an impromptu shovdathon thing at like 7pm tonight. Mostly to be able to keep my mind off things between academic quarters.

Anyone up for an impromptu mini-subathon/~2 week stream starting tomorrow?

A couple hours ago I woke up from a nap to a poetry acceptance. Yay.

Hi, you should follow this new podcast I'm starting. It's called The Volta. :)

Been sick since getting back from AWP. I think I drank the bone-hurting juice.

Forgetting at the End of the Century | Sara Hovda | Frozen Sea - Issue Eleven

My name literally came to me in a dream in which my dead father refused to use it.

Poetry reading at an aquarium last night. Here is my new poetry friend.

Absolutely normal DMs with @seckswrecks.bsky.social again.

Made it to a hotel for a day room at 6am. Getting my AWP badge at noon, getting to my AirBNB at 2pm.

They shoulda never given me breasts. Im gonna get really irresponsible with these

Starting the trip over to Baltimore for AWP. See y'all there!

If I can't run up to the @tacobellquarterly.org booth and throw pieces of bread at the person running it, what's even the point of AWP.

So, I backed out of Frost Fatales due to not really playing kaizo, let alone the hack I was set to run, for a while, plus some emotional exhaustion and etc. I will be teaching some guinea pig how to kaizo in April though, at @midwestspeedfest.com.

Linnets by Larry Levis is one of the best poems of all time. blackbird-archive.vcu.edu/v8n2/poetry/...

I must admit I'm struggling with regards to kaizo/Twitch as of late. A few things have piled up that have left me feeling very broken, and I don't really know how or if I want to exist in this space anymore.

Poem in the Shape of the Poet Beating Henry Kissinger to Death with Their Bare Hands by Felix

I have three guests lined up for this poetry podcast idea. The plan is to record five episodes before I launch, then record one every month, interviewing someone with a new or recent book.

Thinking about starting a poetry podcast. Oh god.

Hi. I have a new poem in @frozenseapoetry.bsky.social today. Written after reading "Grey Century" by @eireannmor.bsky.social, which is a poem I still love so dearly. frozensea.org/sara-hovda-2

Built to masc, forced to femme.

Who wants to be my Valentine'd Day shrumpty?

Looks like I'm going to AWP March 4-7. Anyone I know in the Baltimore area wanna grab coffee or something while I'm there?

Just read "Hazel and Christopher" by @caseyplett.com - the first short story I've read by a non-classmate since starting my MFA in poetry - and just Jesus Christ. Jesus fucking Christ.

I'm drunk off a bottle of sparkling wine at like 3pm today so ugh AMA and I'll answer

This is hot California does poutine?

👀 from Sara Hovda's "Forgetting at the End of the Century" 👀 Issue Eleven countdown 🪓 9 days until launch 🪓

I met a screenwriter in my MFA program tonight who's aware of kaizo and speedrunning, so I showed him my JokerShellOK run, and his face turning from amusement to disgust will fuel me for months.

Essay Idea: Plato's Allegory of the Vagina: Looking Beyond Compulsory Heterosexuality to the real world of the Queer.

How many craniums can @carrarium.bsky.social carry? And if Carrie Carrarium could carry her own cranium, say a crate of them, how far could Carrie Carrarium carry them, that crate of Carrie Carrarium craniums?

:)

Okay nevermind one more I did so well this morning omg

I'm running JokerShellOK for this. Very happy to take part in some small way.
