great news for broke babes! we’re fee free all weekend! send me & @tendonmag.bsky.social your work on care 💉

I'm unforgivably late to this bc everything is on fire, but Issue 10 of @bicoastalreview.bsky.social [BICOASTAL REVIEW] is one brilliant glimmer of solace in a world that is otherwise pretty fucking wrekt. Order her here--> buff.ly/ShzZ22d

I've been reading poetry for @kitchentableqtrly.bsky.social for the last couple issues, and I just have to say that the submissions we get are so stunning and strange and inspire me so much. Never stop submitting, my poet loves. It makes my world go round. <3

PERSUASION x SUCCESSION but make it LESBIAN. Annie: black sheep hidden away for a decade, now her Senator Dad's newest prop. Freddie: her dreaded ex and the campaign's progressive savior. Politics meets second chances. And Annie just might meet herself in the process. #DVPit #A #CR #OWN #LGBT #DIS

sitting on my hands because I want to like everyone's #DivPit posts SO BAD 😭 y'all are so brilliant and cool and talented!!!! #AmWriting #Querying #WritingCommunity

AUSTEN x VEEP Sober disaster Annie gets dragged into her Senator dad's campaign as the token queer daughter. Then her ex Freddie shows up as their progressive savior. Performance politics meets second-chance romance—and Annie's failing, obvs. #DVPit #A #CR #OWN #LGBT #DIS #DisasterQueer

Annie Elliot is too queer, too blunt, too messy for politics. When her Senator father forces her to join his newest campaign and her (in)famous ex reappears, she has to decide what redemption really looks like in this toothy Austen retelling. #DVPit #A #CR #ownvoices #OWN #LGBT #DIS #DisasterQueer

what's the witchiest thing you do? I'll go first. I write down all my biggest dreams and bury them in my plants with some of my fingernail clippings to make it happen. so far so good.

as if by magic

Now the season of mists & mellow fruitfulness (or rain, wind & gas-pipe replacement down our way) is here, I've recorded a piece, Autumn, published in Eunoia Review last Spring. As I read it, I noticed its #winged dimension @eunoiareview.bsky.social @hool415.bsky.social #promptcombo #poetrycommunity

I've always believed that poetry exists to make the world appear larger, more beautiful, and more mysterious. -- Charles Simic

Oh god am I going to always remember where I was when Taylor Swift got engaged?

if people were really interested in making sports more equitable, they would start at income inequality-- after all, healthy bodies typically have a lot more resources. But that's not what they care about. get fucked, Pete

It’s honestly so disrespectful and irresponsible that the national media has mostly ignored the DC33 city worker strike in Philly so far. It’s a huge story with massive implications for the 6th biggest city in the country. Hell, I’ll write about it for ya! Email me! www.inquirer.com/politics/phi...
