"I tended my seed alone, growing it deep within my bones. I watered and cherished it in marrow-drip and pleas. It grew into a fine sapling, reaching up into the skies. But its roots would not take." Read Rewilding by @ncmaha.bsky.social inner-worlds.ghost.io/issue-10-rew...

If you want to listen to the whole episode, I'd love that. It's a talk with Stephanie Foo about complex PTSD, a condition a lot of people have without knowing it. Maybe you? It may also do a little bubble bursting if you idealized This American Life. maximumfun.org/episodes/dep...

Counting treasures I found in 2025: “What My Bones Know” by Stephanie Foo was a blistering read that, in its ever present undercurrent of hope and healing, gifted me a future to look forward to. And coming out of whatever rock I’ve been under to find Philip Pullman’s works was pure joy! #reading

Found this on a morning ramble, adore it to bits. A darkly humorous and rapidly escalating (or de-escalating?) what-if... archiveoftheodd.com/2021/11/10/f...

A simply stunning, healing piece that moved me deeply. I'll be thinking about this for a long while.

THANK YOU, ever so much @intrepidusink.bsky.social! 😍💜I’m honored to be published alongside so many incredible authors, and hope readers will enjoy this little story. Here’s its opening. Thank you!!

In “Cross the Line,” the theme of how resource scarcity can warp people's behaviours was the vehicle that launched the protagonist into his journey. Though unprepared, he's challenged to commandeer it towards achieving his goals—but he's not the only one with a mission. @intrepidusink.bsky.social

Speculative fiction opens a fantastical world of possibilities I itch to explore. It's easy to forget that those worlds only exist because of characters driven by very real goals. I want my stories to reflect how THEIR choices make those incredible worlds possible. @intrepidusink.bsky.social

Thank you @intrepidusink.bsky.social! My writing journey began with a love for both science & fiction. Discovering a world on the cusp of both was incredible! I wanted to share its stories, & realized the best way to learn was to dive into it rather than wait to become my best writer version.

Can't believe this is happening in two days! Incredibly excited (and nervous!!) for my upcoming story and live chat with @intrepidusink.bsky.social 💜 Come say hi if you're around on Wednesday morning (PST)!

when dark days fall upon us darker than the stories in a magazine about Death (because these are real) we look for tiny, bright things in the gloom to sustain us for our team, that is an uptick in the # of patrons backing us these last few days thank you 🖤 may you also find tiny, bright things

"...take off the top of your skull like a hat and take a bow in front of an exorcist who could cast out whatever’s eating away at the insulation in your brain..." Sometimes, a piece just speaks to you on a really personal level. This from @suzannehicks.bsky.social hit me somewhere deep down.

This is such a moving, chilling piece. The end is haunting. So many beautiful micros, well-deserving of the shortlist! Congrats @sharontelfer.bsky.social!

Thank you so much @intrepidusink.bsky.social !!! Super, super excited for this opportunity 😍

"AI" creative writing looks passable to people who don't look at writing all day long. To editors, it pops out like a sore thumb. LLMs are glorified predictive text machines and they predict, well, predictably. PS: if you submit an "AI" story, the editor WILL remember you, and not in a good way.
