This is a novella or short novel that is especially hard to "pitch" to people. I think if you enjoy surrealism/absurdism, post-apocalyptic stories, picaresque "well, that was just a bunch of stuff that happened!" plots, ambiguity, open endings, & introspection, you'll likely get something out of it.

We're open for submissions through APRIL 30, and are hungry for your work, the weirder the better. manyworlds.place/what-to-incl...

“The skinny old punk was up to something. She blended in with the usual crowd at Wart’s: saggy gauged earlobes, sunbleached neck tattoos, ratty Bundeswehr jacket…” Read Sylvie Althoff’s “Last of the Cigarette Gremlins” in @manyworlds.place this #WomensHistoryMonth: manyworlds.place/issue-9/sylv...

ICYMI!!

My piece, Hole in the Ground, is featured in this issue! So happy to be a part of this wonderful project

Excited to be featured again in @manyworlds.place 🪟

Welcome to issue 11! It shaped up to be thick with liberatory gestures – on disability, fatness, Blackness, youth, and more. Creatives across/against genre and medium tackle pressing issues of disposibility and resistance. manyworlds.place/issue-11/ Some highlights:

Eyyy check out my dinosaur poem

“I have three mud crabs from the Maroochy River rattling about in the freezer, undergoing euthanasia.” Thus begins this stunning collab between @pleomorphic2.bsky.social and @kathrynreese.bsky.social in @manyworlds.place!

"Defamiliar" in @manyworlds.place - manyworlds.place/issue-8/bogi... Disability-related and it's about defamiliarization, supposedly one of the key tools in the toolbox of speculative literature. Or just reality, you know

If you liked my piece in Inner Worlds, consider checking out "Mind Palace v1.2.1," my experimental flash piece recently published in @manyworlds.place! Text-based indie horror game meets the violence our healthcare system inflicts on its workers. manyworlds.place/issue-10/rj-...

4. And that must mean sometimes art and sex is not transcendent. Sometimes “My orgasm is juicy and boring. I think of CVS.” Jade Kleiner’s “Sixty One Weeks, Three Days After The Concussion.” In @manyworlds.place.

"The world isn’t ending. A world is ending. Our job is to midwife the next one."

this is a very important part of her legacy, her support for Palestine. one of the things i will always remember is that one of Dr. Refaat Alareer’s last liked posts on Twitter before it turned into x and removed like history is a photo of Alice.

New flash piece out in manywor(l)ds today about the severe and lasting trauma healthcare workers experience on a daily basis. What if there was a way to compartmentalize those experiences digitally? Nothing bad could come of that, right?

Sunday evening…what’s for dinner at yours? I’ve been in the kitchen with @pleomorphic2.bsky.social cooking up 🦀 🦀🦀 Thanks @manyworlds.place for giving this recipe a home 💚 Thanks @pleomorphic2.bsky.social for collaborating 💛 You’re entirely delicious 💛

Seconded. We exist because of and for freaks and perverts!

Freaks keep our creative communities alive. Call, email, scream at the wind, do whatever you need to do to resist corporate censorship. when we talk about many wor(l)ds, that includes & prioritizes the worlds of sex workers, erotica writers/artists, and perverts of all stripes.

It's almost #WomenInTranslation month! We're hungry for your translated works and will be open during our normally-closed month of august for translations ONLY. (All genders are welcome to submit!) In the meantime, 2 weeks left to send general submissions to manywor(l)ds. what are you waiting for?

New poem *by* me, and a new issue of @manyworlds.place to read *for* me! :D (I also recommend it for you, I always enjoy reading this mag.) I also realize I forgot to send my bio, eek! Quickly sent one - sorry about that.

This is great, always like new poetic forms and really like how these were done, too -
