Excited to see @epistemiclit.bsky.social’s Righteous Rage issue featured in this roundup. You can find my micro story, “What Remains,” alongside the works of so many great writers in Issue 8! #writesky #writers #microfiction #micromonday

In a matter of an hour, I was stung twice by a hornet, had to make an important phone call to the city, and paid my student loan. Honestly not sure which event was the most painful.

NC has had an internet fiber outage for about 36 hours now. I got a little grumpy at first, but then felt silly about that, given how many better things there are to look at! #gardensky #plants #garden

Even finalfinal.doc isn't really final.

Go read this issue!!!

A President ordering the Justice Department to criminally investigate a woman who won a sexual assault lawsuit against him makes Watergate look like an unpaid parking ticket.

Issue 8 #Poetry IF I DIE FROM THIS by @kristinwrites.bsky.social “Disfigure the shiny wood with flame and bury me with the ashes” epistemiclit.com/issue-eight/...

Oh, I really love this one! That image of the student’s tented hands will stay with me for a long time. ♥️ #writesky #microfiction #flashfiction #writers

My friend @monteiro.bsky.social is great at promoting his work AND writes great newsletter; this week he answered my question about getting past the imbedded “humility” programming a lot of us grow up with or into: buttondown.com/monteiro/arc...

"She runs from the shack where she sleeps alone to the nearest fine house, pounds ineffectual fists on the hard front door. “I know what happens!” she yells..." ICYMI my CNF story full of recognition and warning. In the latest issue of @epistemiclit.bsky.social epistemiclit.com/issue-eight/...

My favorite yarn that I’ve naturally dyed so far. This is DK-weight yarn dyed with lac and modified with cream of tartar. My first time dyeing with lac: the color is so rich!! What should I knit with it? 🤔 🧶 #knitsky #knitting #shawlknitting #naturaldye

I’ve so loved being part of this issue. Works like this demonstrate how people are still standing up to socio-political rhetoric that feels insurmountable most days. I’ve been so angry lately, and this issue reminds me that literature offers us hope. #writesky #poetry #writing

Issue 8 #FlashFiction EVEN A WORM by Kelly Murashige “You’d make it painful. You’d make it hurt. You’d say you still love me, then break me again. Make me so tiny, I would disappear.” epistemiclit.com/issue-eight/...

Beyond honoured to have two micros, 'Infestation' and 'After the Last Abduction', featured in this issue. Enormous thanks to the editors for their hard work!

Fancy help supporting Paragraph Planet? The price of a coffee will help with website and marketing costs, always gratefully received. Here’s a drawing of a mug i did for illustration. ko-fi.com/paragraphpla...

“Little girl me turns on her heel again, keeps running south along the interstate. Past the golden cornfields, past the decades-old “HELL IS REAL” billboard.” Gorgeous and so deeply felt.

🥹 thank you for this, @sugarpigblog.bsky.social

if you want a sly banger with a perfect ending, check this amazing micro by @emhall47.bsky.social in @epistemiclit.bsky.social 👏👇

This piece from @lorifontanes.bsky.social captures the nuance of abuse so well, particularly how silence nourishes it!

Neat 75 wonder here.

Thank you for these kind words, @nomad-sw18.bsky.social. I admired your piece too, especially this line: “I think about her as a student in the sixties, rebel girl before her career as a teacher, then a probation officer. Always seeking justice. Always a black sheep.” #writesky #flashfiction #write

Thank you, @paragraphplanet.bsky.social, for publishing my tiny story, “Measuring,” which brings together the unlikely combination of T. S. Eliot and dishwashing! 🧼 #writesky #microfiction #writing #flashfiction

So grateful to be in the Righteous Rage issue with two micros. A brand new one “Before the Ground Gets Too Hard” and a reprint from @thewoolfofficial.bsky.social “Other Moms Stand in an Impenetrable Circle of Backs.” Big thanks to Melissa!

I'm excited to share a link to the just-published May issue of Epistemic Literary, which includes one of my poems. The theme is "Righteous Rage," so consider yourself warned. This one also includes an audio version, which was a fun, new experience for me. Please enjoy "Alecto"! epistemiclit.com

New poem up at @epistemiclit.bsky.social today! I Just Want To Talk epistemiclit.com/issue-eight/...

Thoroughly enjoyed reading through these stories. Congrats to all those on this list!! #writesky #flashfiction #microfiction

This called out to me in a bookstore yesterday. I’ve not felt inspired by what I’ve read lately, but I immediately read 30 pages of this last night. So lovely and heartfelt! #booksky #writesky
