Executive function is a bitch to control. I'm hoping that the semester ending and having grades turned in will free me up to focus on things I'd like to focus on. /cough cough @audilocus.bsky.social

Excited to keep going. Issue 2.1 will be out by the end of this month. I'll finish responding to those subs in the upcoming days. Looking forward to the next batch, too! No joke--producing a literary journal alone is a lot of work! 😅

Happy Trans Day of Visibility. You are seen. You matter. I will always stand up for the Trans community and your rights.

Folks, we need to boost Matt Gromlich running again Dr Spineless Mikey. Not only must Mikey lose speakership, he needs to be removed from Congress. @mattgromlichla4.bsky.social @genzforgromlich.bsky.social @gromlich4congress secure.actblue.com/donate/matt-...

CW: sexual harassment / indecent exposure If you’ve ever wondered why women sometimes ignore men who talk to us randomly in public, here’s a real-life example. Yesterday around 11AM I stopped by Dollar Tree in Blanchard, Louisiana. I parked directly in front of the store doors. (1/5)🧵

Some happy news: my poem “Anxiety is a House” has been selected as a finalist for the AR Ammons Poetry Prize! The winner will be announced March 25th (judged by Crystal Simone Smith). I’m really honored to be on this list. 🥰

Andy Thomson winning the election in Boca Raton by 5 votes shows us that every vote matters. We must continue to vote in every election. Keep flipping seats blue. That’s why I am running in Louisiana district 4 to unseat Mike Johnson. Help me get rid of him. secure.actblue.com/donate/groml...

My most highly awaited rejection is incoming!

There's a guy for the job: @mattgromlichla4.bsky.social! He’s a professor in the district who actually shows up. Louisiana switched to closed primaries this year, so we need to get him through the Democratic primary on May 16 first to get him on that November ballot against Mike!

Being an American means we accept all religions. Just because someone has a different religion than you doesn’t mean it’s “misguided.” Mike Johnson is a Christian Nationalist who absolutely needs to go. Help me bring decency and dignity back to Washington. secure.actblue.com/donate/groml...

I have a new poem out today in @rogueagent.bsky.social titled "Not Quite Gone." It’s an exploration of the paradox I live with: the desire for visibility versus the distress of being watched. This poem lives in that quiet, stubborn space where I figure out how to exist in the midst of existing.

Thread, kindling, and a boat full of holes …. issue 132 of Rogue Agent is here! Ft poetry by @susanbarryschulz.com Maudie Bryant, LC Gutierrez, Katie Kim, Yasmin Mariam Kloth, @andrewkozma.net Danielle Pafunda, Christopher Phelps, Evyan Roberts, and Ellie White // rogueagentjournal.com/issue132

This is a non-exhaustive list. May everyone have the day they deserve.

When a brilliant poet writes a poem for you, you say thank you and you share it. 🥰

Maudie Bryant doesn't grieve the blades tucked into lullabies, today at Villain Era! 🖤🔪

Antae Third Issue // Maudie Bryant (she/her) is a Pushcart-nominated poet, multidisciplinary artist, and educator based in Shreveport, Louisiana. A graduate of the University of Louisiana Monroe (M.A. in English), she surveys the complexities of memory and identity through her work. [...]

And she was a poet. poets.org/2020-on-lear...

Her name is Renee Nicole Good. ❤️‍🔥

Louisiana darlings: @doitjewett.bsky.social, @conrad4congress.bsky.social, @mattgromlichla4.bsky.social — Kat Abughazaleh deactivated Twitter and she’s right. Time to make the break official. ✂️

About trying to find an appropriate container for grief in a world of mass-produced sentiment... my poem, "At Hobby Lobby, Choosing an Urn," is out now in Kansas City Review, Volume 21. [🎙️ Sound on to hear me read.] #LouisianaPoet #SouthernWriters #LouisianaArts #GriefPoetry

Officially picked up my plaque for the 2025 Ephraim Tyler Poet of the Year award this weekend. This honor was given earlier this year at Speak Poetry Fest by POETIC X, and picking it up this past Saturday (on Apollo’s birthday) felt like the perfect alignment. #LouisianaArts #SouthernWriters

I didn’t make the news meeting (except for my lil head on the flyer 😂), but I’ll be in this poetry event tomorrow evening with a bunch of Shreveport talent. Like Tee Winn says, it’s a competition, but we’re not enemies. Looking forward to vibing and hearing what everybody brings to the mic.

The Sundress Academy for the Arts is excited to present “Word/Play: A Generative Poetry Workshop,” a free virtual workshop led by Aerik Francis on December 10th from 6:00-7:30 PM ET. sundressblog.com/2025/11/20/s...

Currently regretting the gas station mocha I drank this morning because I felt like getting a "treat." 💩 On the bright side, Spotify Wrapped is out! Of course my top song is @alliex.music-social.com's "Is Anybody Out There." A soundtrack befitting a morning spent questioning my life decisions.

The academic mind prison is almost lifted. Getting my hands in some paint as soon as this semester is over!! 🤪 These two are on the easel first. Ready to ditch the grading for the grinding.

Issue #102 out now! Featured Poet Royal Rhodes; supported by Cailín Frankland, Kathleen Serocki, William Ross, @sarpsozdinler.bsky.social , @mervynspoet.bsky.social, Aranka Somogyi (translated by Ágnes Megyeri), @maudiemichelle.com, & @adenthomas.bsky.social www.neologismpoetry.com/November-2025/

It's amazing how a few weeks away from a poem makes you see the cracks in it. Time is the best editor. Patience is better than any craft book.

🔥 The 2026 FISH List is out! Audi Locus jumped nearly 100 points from last year. That’s not luck; that's doing the work. For the uninitiated: the FISH List ranks thousands of indie lit-mags, weighing submission practices, longevity, and editorial rigor to point you toward venues worth your words.

My poem “The Last Pick Up” is live at Mulberry Literary. I wrote it after my dad died, trying to make sense of an impossible errand. 💞 www.mulberryliterary.com/issue-xi/mau...

Since people find being hopeful and optimistic so cringe these days, let me remind you once again that there isn’t a single liberation movement in the world that wasn’t built on hope and optimism.

I'd like one of these and a Duotrope gift certificate for Christmas, please! ✍️🎄

In our "Witness" issue, Tess Ezzy turns the eye inward and asks the hard questions: "what is the Greek word / for grief you didn’t earn". Read "ΚΡΑΤΑ ΤΟ ΕΣΥ (you hold this)", one of our Pushcart noms, here: www.audilocus.com/volume1-issu... #Poetry #IndieLit #Publication #LitMag

It's time to vote for Best Lit Mag in the ChillSubs Community Favorites Awards! If our work has ever hit you sideways, cracked something open, or lit a little fuse, take a moment and nominate us. 🗳️ www.chillsubs.com/best-lit-mag... Type Audi Locus, choose a few tags, hit submit.

The countdown is on. One week left to submit your work for Audi Locus Volume 2, Issue 1. We’re looking for poetry and art that demands to be heard and remembered. Deadline: November 30 Weblink: www.audilocus.com

"And now for something completely different, work by Maudie Bryant." Blended & Beyond: defiant stones; heavy treasures; bathtub vignette by Maudie Bryant jmwwblog.wordpress.com/2025/11/18/b...

Two of my visual pieces, “Daydreamer” and “Untethered,” are featured in Heimat Review’s Issue 10. Grateful to the editors at @heimatreview.bsky.social , and a nod to @flaremagazine.bsky.social for first publishing “Untethered.” 💫

“Remember, if you lose a sock in the dryer, it comes back to life as a Tupperware lid that doesn't fit on any of your containers.” 🤫🤣😉

Reminding myself I'm just one human. Going to lean more into the art.

NOBODY should be able have a career in congress. All elected positions should have term limits.

That sliding doors moment Almost every minute

Mamdani’s win isn’t just good for NYC. It’s good for Dems in general. It shows that voters can be energized again. Young people can be energized. Voter turnout SURGED. People were fired up and got to the polls. I feel very good about 2026 now.

Happy Zohran Day to all who celebrate!!

Using a government domain to mock political opponents is unethical, misleading, and erodes public trust.

If you have a writer in your life and you'd like them to know that you care about their ambitions, may I suggest ordering a copy of my collaborative craft anthology, An Honour And A Privilege, as a Christmas present? (trust me, you'll get the MOST brownie points)

I long for an option to block organizations on Submittable. I’ve mostly stopped browsing opportunities there because you can’t... instead, I use @duotrope.com, @chillsubs.bsky.social, and social media to find calls (which, of course, often funnel me right back to Submittable to submit, tee hee!).

Have I done this yet? No. But have I been kinda doing it in the moment? Also no. Tomorrow.

I could go for a grandma biscuit right about now.
