I’m not a hobby person. I am not against people who love picking up hobbies. For some reason, I just can‘t have a hobby to escape. Because I always overdo it. I put all of myself into a project until I approach burnout. Then I hate it and eventually quit. 😵‍💫 Anyone else like this?

You know what would be cool. If a poet or a group of poets, got a dispenser that took quarters (like a gumball machine but with a larger slot at the bottom), and they put poetry zines in it. And they left it in a public venue of some kind. A poetry jukebox of recorded poems would be cool too.

Hope you enjoyed another 'printmakers Sunday' on Womensart! 🩵💙💜 Enjoy your day! xx

I'm speaking a different language today. The whimpering becomes a whisper on the infant breeze. I'm dripping moonlight to ease the nauseated ghosts. Catharsis is divinity and my veins are filled with pearls. #vss365 #emoetry #poetry

1. I know we have been a little quiet over here. Still operating as a one-woman show. To be transparent without giving too much detail, I have a lot of personal limitations that I need support for and don’t have support for. This support is costly and time-consuming.

I don’t care about accommodating an algorithm. Because it is a flawed system made by flawed people to vet popularity contests. You shouldn’t care about it either because it contributes to a negative self-worth culture that shouldn‘t exist.

The November issue is out! Head over to the site for a read - link in bio. As always, a huge thank you to our talented contributors! 🧡

I think quizzes are an outdated and ineffective way to measure memory retention or knowledge base. Because they primarily rely on rote memorization rather than depth of knowledge.

1. My goal with Cease and Caesura is to hand it down to capable writers and artists. Cease and Caesura publishes work pushing boundaries mainstream work tries to edit out. Please share if you know anyone interested in joining an experimental creative arts journal they will build and own part of.

Applications are open for Cease and Caesura Co-Founder Roles. You can find the links in the comments section of the original post.

there are so many warnings in the world that there are no more warnings. only a chorus followed by unbearable indifference.

So, Today I'm going to be posting some of my art I hope to sell. Not to be the sad attention seeker, but the hopeful. Taking my husband to #Mayo Clinic in 4 weeks. It's a pricey adventure & selling some art would be so helpful. www.etsy.com/shop/ColorBy...

In case anyone missed it, we will be starting applications for Co-Founder roles on October 22nd. #literarycommunity #artcommunity

I abhor the act of weaponizing anything that was meant to heal. The weaponization of psychology in pop psychology rhetorics being one of the highest on the list.

We aim wrong. We spend most of our lives trying to impress people who will one day die. Only to have those people hand our words to people who will also one day die.

Cease and Caesura will be opening applications for Co-Founders on October 22nd, 2025. If you have any more questions, please contact us at [email protected] #literarycommunity #artcommunity open.substack.com/pub/ceaseand...

Cease and join us for some lyric poetry by Bruce McRae! #poetrycommunity #literarycommunity #contributorscorner #litseries open.substack.com/pub/ceaseand...

We're experiencing production delays. The two poems by Bruce McRae will be published tomorrow as promised. The literary discussion will follow at a later date. #literarycommunity #poetrycommunity #publishing #litseries #contributorscorner

I like Taylor Swift. I just don’t think she’s a poet. Songwriting and poetry can overlap, and the forms share a history. However, the lyrics she writes are simply what they are—catchy pop lyrics.

nothing’s mystical, magical but a goat dragged down the road. failed sacrifice after failed sacrifice what do you call me by?

“The moon attends to its scarred cheek. /We hear music on Regulus. A name on Mercury. / The voice of the sunset humming lyrically. / Just this moment, nothing less or more.” – “Night Falls” by Bruce McRae Coming out on October 7th! #literarycommunity #poetry open.substack.com/pub/ceaseand...

Beginning to think that my BPD is barely even the problem, and I have extremely religious parents with an authoritarian parenting style. And I’ve just been gaslit into thinking that how I operate is dysfunctional when I just didn’t have the tools I needed. Like fuck. I’m too poor to get out of this.

we'll be opening for new work on october 1. get your best ready. get your worst ready. we want to read you. anmly.submittable.com/submit

Today's listing of the day is: Leonard Cohen Poetry Prize (fee-based) #WritingCommunity

Go forth and support small indie lit journals and artists. Doesn’t even have to be mine. We need to even the odds here though. So many great artists and writers are on the winter edge of the internet.
