"I’m drawn to structures that create a contrast between tone and mood, so a list felt like a natural choice. It allowed me to explore a sad, messy topic through a neutral lens and gave me some much-needed distance" @colettelh.bsky.social, this week's featured author www.smokelong.com/interviews/s...

Thank you P&L! 🙏❤️

That moment when your favorite journal publishes your work. ❤️💀 Thanks to all of the writers who inspired this piece and to HAD for introducing me to them and to Aaron for my first skull. 🙏

Really proud of this one. 🥹❤️🎉

We crowed into the restless corners of loneliness

So proud of this one. It's for my sisters. 🥰

So honored to be included in this issue! 🐦

have done this once before, but... this one felt too meta and self-referential to accept, but too fun and great to just reject? so, here's like... half a skull (?) for a really great long, breathless sentence about submitting to HAD for @colettelh.bsky.social!!

New platform. Old piece. 🌿
