@sagetyrtle.bsky.social has done it again in this gorgeous story in @matchbooklitmag.bsky.social. get some tissues ready as you read 😭 "Bees, bees I say, and curious bees make cats cradles in the air in front of me as I talk." www.matchbooklitmag.com/mb/tyrtle/be...

another banger from all the excellent work @bulbregion.bsky.social is putting out, loved this sizzling flash from @marioaliberto3.bsky.social “Their guests look from Theo to Malorie. Smiling eyes asking if this is a joke.” bulbregion.com/Key-Party-by...

“When she is one you will pour dark wildflower honey into a bowl and fold in the gooseberries and she will grab the spoon from you and turn her lips and chin purple.” new gorgeous and harrowing @claudiamonpere.bsky.social story in @fictivedream.bsky.social fictivedream.com/2026/04/03/u...

"The Frog God’s towering form roared across dry fields, blocking out whole acres of moonlight over Windham." loving @adrianf.bsky.social's latest over in @hexliterary.bsky.social 🐸

when a flash makes you go "hot damn." gorgeous piece from Todd Honeycutt in @splitlipthemag.bsky.social "cities rising and cities falling, barbed wire and butterflies stretching for miles, ice ages and the dearth of snow, the great plague and the small goodbye." splitlipthemag.com/flash/0326/t...

took zero pictures at my first #awp but am home with cheeks achy from smiling, feet sore from long walks in the bookfair catching up with friends and supporting their pubs, and heart full from so many hugs and gorgeous readings. will certainly be back!

It is an existential imperative that we begin a serious global dialogue about how ‘experts’ as the media uses the term, consistently lag behind us laymen when it comes to Knowing Some Bullshit When We See It.

Friendly reminder I got laid off recently & want the bookstore to be my main job alongside Amanda. Spent the last week brainstorming how to make it happen. Some cool things you could do to help: -Buy books at @eveninghouse.bsky.social, in-person or online -buy Boxcutters or Feast -hype either 🍻🙏🫡

another stunner from @iamchrisscott.bsky.social ✨ “We shielded our eyes and looked into the cloudless blue sky above us trying to figure out where it came from, how it got here, who sent it back and why.”

The richest man owns X. The second and third richest men control Google. The fourth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. The fifth richest man owns The Washington Post. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

The cats that live in the tower can move through the walls. A cat steps through the kitchen wall and steps out in the attic. We're too afraid to ask how they do it. Instead, we read flash fiction: "Cats Can't Live on the Moon" by @lkardos.bsky.social crowcrosskeys.com/2026/02/25/c...

"there just has to be a part of the day that I’m not trying to solve problems"

Hard to imagine anything less punk than resource-wasting corporate products owned by right-wing billionaires in league with plutocratic governments and trained on stolen artist's work used to aid state surveillance, mass immiseration, and inequality.

so excited to be reading at @theinnerlooplit.bsky.social next week!

oh, that last line 🥺

I know things are frightening right now, but don't forget to share people's art alongside all the news! I feel like I haven't seen much of the writing community getting traction on the TL lately but art has never been more important

This takes five minutes, is weirdly cathartic and provides you with a wide variety of ways to say 'I do not want this dog shit grey goo generating technology fucking up my user experience and I'm frankly amazed that you all think hammering yourselves in the groin is the move here.'

this hurt a lot this week. another hit for my corner of Appalachia. let it be known the Block family would rather kill the free press than support workers’ rights.

lol sorry but women need to be meaner to men in 2026

felt great to delete my goodreads today. anyone else on @pagebound.bsky.social? loving it so far!

my heart needed to read this today. the latest from @sagetyrtle.bsky.social in @fracturedlit.bsky.social
