Beware the Ides.

My 7 year-old’s newest drawing. I am doing this parenting thing RIGHT. 👍

Not a single Christian lives in this house - the occupents are a Jew, a Humanist and staunch atheist, and whatever the heck that makes Omri and River - but LOOK WHAT I DID for our first Easter in the new house!!!

NEWS TO ME. Also, we have never once been to Chuck E. Cheese, so…??? 🤷‍♀️

Wordle 1,725 2/6 🟩⬜🟨⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 I’m disproportionately excited about this. What a good day. What a beautiful life.

Connections Puzzle #1002 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Nothing like an afternoon dopamine burst. 👍

You want a title? I’ll GIVE you a title. @stanchion.bsky.social is a publisher who GETS my vision, and they have earned my undying love and support. #poem #poetry #poet #writer #writing #nonfiction #amwriting #writingcommunity #Philly

So grateful to @StanchionZine for including my poem in Issue 21, “The Music Issue.” This journal is consistently gorgeous, timely, and so well-curated. Being in print never looked so good. 👍 #poem #poetry #poet #writer #writing #nonfiction #amwriting #writingcommunity #Philly

My new book is only $10, perfect for a quick afternoon read! If you’ve ever expressed an interest in Simone Biles, the Magnificent Seven, or the repercussions of a lifetime of undiagnosed mental illness, this story is your jam! 🤣 Delighted to sign and hand deliver in the Philly region. ❤️

shannonfrostgreenstein.com/2026/02/28/o... Ok, Philly, and cities near and wide. This is a short story I wrote about the MOVE bombing in 1985, and I researched the SH*T out of it. I hope you take a moment to read! #fiction #shortstory #writer #writing #author #historicalfiction #writingcommunity

Connections Puzzle #981 🟪🟪🟪🟪 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟦🟦🟦🟦 Sweet dopamine, I like you best before the darkness of night. 👍

A series I’ve entitled, “Annoyed: A Gwen Verdon Triptych.” #cat

I want to be Mackenzie Scott when I grow up. Not to make out HUGE in a divorce settlement, but to be the only ethical billionaire, and the person who is redefining philanthropy, ultimately acknowledging huge inequities and injustices in our society and working to change them.

Delighted to receive an acceptance from @inkinthirds.bsky.social, with a poem that wastes no words in conveying my wrath and rage for health insurance companies, which...let us recall...were founded as FOR-PROFIT business entities with literally no focus on patient welfare or care at all. #poetry

Today is the Day that Alex Honnold definitely will not die! 🤞🤞🤞

Y’all, you see that Fall ‘26? That last one right there? That’s ME. 🤩

shannonfrostgreenstein.com/2025/12/31/l... A brand-new poem in the nearly-old year, thanks to @feralpoetryandart.bsky.social. I meant every single word. #writer #writing #author #poet #poetry #poem #amwriting #writingcommunity #capitalism

Let’s all hope Alex Honnold doesn’t fall off that building in Taipei. 🤞

Gettin’ our Messiah on.

I just used the term “bespoke” in an email. I am ON FIRE today. 🔥🔥🔥 #writer #writing #author #literary #fiction #poetry #writinglife #writingcommunity #amwriting #pretension #poet

$10 with Bottlecap Press, and, with it, you get a trauma dump about mental illness, swooning over Simone Biles, and a comprehensive history of USA Gymnastics under the Communist-bloc reign of the Karolyis! Happy to sign and hand-deliver in the Philly region! bottlecap.press/products/ali...

The most wonderful time of the year.

Wordle 1,617 2/6 ⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜ 🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩 F*ck yeah!

I'm going to get one of those "WWJD" bracelets that we all wore in middle school, only it's going to say "WWZMD," because I trust Zohran Mamdani to save us all. And because Democratic Socialism is actually the ideology that most closely resembles what Jesus was preaching about in the first place. 🤣

Halloween. Samhain. 95 Theses Day. Wishing nothing but revelry for all who celebrate. 🎃🧙‍♀️🔨

A new poem, featuring a 20th century miracle in Texas, ending with heartbreak. I hope you are inclined to take a look! shannonfrostgreenstein.com/2025/10/23/b... #writer #writing #writingcommunity #author #poet #poetry #poem

Have I mentioned that eating the rich is very much a viable option???

Dude, WHAT is happening on Everest right now???

Seriously, HOW MANY wireless mice am I going to go through this year??? 😡

Osmosis - Audio shannonfrostgreenstein.com/2025/09/05/o... via @ShannonFrostGre An mp3 of a downer of a flash fiction piece, and the dulcet tones of my voice as I read it. #writing #writer #author #flash #fiction #audio #reading #writingcommunity #amwriting

shannonfrostgreenstein.com/2025/09/05/o... A tiny little flash about biology and bad luck. I hope you take 45 seconds to read! #flash #fiction #writer #writing #author #writingcommunity #amwriting #castaway #audio #literary #write

So delighted to have a copy of the summer issue of Metachrosis Lit Mag in my hands. They were kind enough to publish my hermit crab piece about my widowed Czech Grandmother’s late-in-life boyfriend, and it feels good to honor her legacy in this inconsequential way. :) #writer #writing #author

shannonfrostgreenstein.com/2025/09/01/w... I am honored to be included in the Fall issue of @doorisajarmag.bsky.social. This flash is directly based on the 2004 Indonesian tidal wave and is, understandably, quite a downer. But the REST of the issue is gorgeous and uplifting! 🤣 #writer #author #flash

Mood:

Y'all, I'm in the Fall Issue of @doorisajarmag.bsky.social with some flash fiction about the Indonesian tidal wave. And, yes, it's a downer, but I would still recommend you read this gorgeous magazine, because the other 44 contributors might have written something happy. Click the link to pre-order!

Poetry reading! #poetry #poet #poems #writer #author #writingcommunity #amwriting #newshit

Thanks to @metachrosislitmag.bsky.social for publishing my latest CNF, a true story of first love and my absolutely terrifying German grandmother! You can read it on my site or buy a gorgeous issue for yourself! shannonfrostgreenstein.com/2025/08/01/m...

I’ve got some new CNF out, the story of my grandparents’ 50-year marriage and the relationship my grandmother resumed with her very first boyfriend from back in Czechoslovakia after my grandfather passed away. ❤️ #cnf #nonfiction #writer #author #writingcommunity #essay #writing #literary #litmag

Because we all have a moral obligation to speak up. Complicity is now a crime in and of itself. I’m delighted to have my poem included in a collection that calls out injustice and fights for change. I hope you read my poetic rant! #poetry #poet #writer shannonfrostgreenstein.com/2025/07/31/t...

A new poem in the world and some gratitude for healing. Thanks to Twenty-Two Twenty-Eight for publishing!!! #poem #poetry #poet #ED #anorexia #writing #writer #author #litmag #publishing #published #recovery #amwriting #writingcommunity #Renfrew #ana #DBT #eatingdisorders

I cannot even describe how much I needed this this morning.

I see you standing up, Miss Rachel. I see you. 👍 🍉 🇵🇸

Because when you pay an actual human artist to illustrate your family instead of using AI to spit out something soulless, you can actually TELL. Death to the robots. Real art lives!!!

I am GUTTED. 😢

I have a new poem out in the world, thanks to @unlikely-stories.bsky.social, and I was so happy when it got placed. It’s a departure from my previous poetry, and I really hope you take a look! shannonfrostgreenstein.com/2025/07/13/c... #poem #poetry #writer #author #poet #writingcommunity #amwriting

Because AI, crypto, Bitcoin, and chatGPT will be our DOOM. 🤣
