Boots is an incredible show so far. Hot guys with so much emotion.

I love being gay

And I thought the yearning was bad before fall!

The original Dr Seuss: a children's book from 1838 which only uses words with one syllable: https://publicdomainreview.org/collection/nursery-lessons-in-words-of-one-syllable-1838?utm_content=bufferf3112&utm_medium=social&utm_source=twitter.com&utm_campaign=buffer

I just smelled someone else's sneeze.

Is it worth it to keep submitting the same manuscript somewhere that has rejected it and you haven't revised it?

It's a bisexual theater kid's dream--make that A Midsummer Night's Dream. The episode is available to listen where you do that! #shakespeare #podcast #filmsky #frolicking

Might try to become an ASMR YouTuber

When you wish you could just be a David and taken care of but life is making you into a Patrick.

“...Boys, I am so cheery & alone amongst you, your faces are phantoms along the banks of bouncing thighs.“ Alex Vigue’s “Aria for the Bathers" from the Summer 2025 collection of Online Exclusives. Listen to @alexvigue.bsky.social read the full poem: buff.ly/KugD2Zv #poetrycommunity

If you’re canceling subscription services with giant companies with ties to terrible people, you should think about replacing them with a library card. Many library systems give you access to physical media (some of which you can’t find on streaming!) as well as other great stuff.

If you dream about work they should have to pay you

Also possible, if not probable, that your local library can give you access to SO MANY movies, either through Kanopy which has a better selection than many paid streaming services, or via physical media (which, once discs are on the library shelf, is truly out of corporate control!)

I love buying things! I need to make more things so my joy comes from that instead.

It's my birthday and @leonoralermontov.bsky.social got me the 4k release of Lost in Space (1998). I feel like this was released just for me!

Moving for the second time in a month. New apartment was not treated properly for cat urine. Thankfully they moved us.

There are two lists below. The first is a detailed list of five lit mags that accept reprints. The second list is a longer list of over 200 markets that accept reprints and don't charge fees. Some are paying, most are not. Plus, two other resource lists for reprints! buff.ly/fmGtt3F #poetrycommunity

More similarities than you'd think.

Sometimes you use your PTO to shoot a short film with your friends.

Tell Tell Poetry recently posted a great where to submit list for the the next few months. It includes links to each submission opportunity, whether its a call or contest, deadlines, fees, payment, simultaneous submissions, and whether or not they accept reprints.

Two chapbook rejections. Too busy with short film and moving issues to feel deeply disappointed.

Short film shoot day one! Accidental renaissance composition.

Rearranging the furniture in my parents' house for our short film! We start shooting tomorrow.

One of my favorite movies. Review translated from Spanish.

Thanks to our friends at Silver Ball Social Club for providing us with the JAWS pinball machine! Swing by the Club (just around the corner) after seeing the film for half off gaming wristbands and other food and drink specials! Free play for ticket holders! www.kigginstheatre.com/movie/jaws-5...

Goodness gracious, do we have something for you. Love's Labour's Lost is up on the pod, and if you haven't seen Branagh's version you simply can't imagine what you're in for. Listen below, or where you do that. #podcast #filmsky #shakespeare #moustachio

They sure are advertising that Dexter show a lot for having canceled it

Issue No. 1 is now available as a free PDF download in the web store! www.andchangepoetry.com/issues/p/no-1

I have a crush on my dermatologist

The bliss of ASMR out in the world. Love it when they come clean the windows at our office.

Trying to submit a few things before I move and then take a week off to film a short.

500 words for a workshop application feels enormous this far after college.

Go ahead and hug the writer in your life, because they're beating themselves up over a verb or a comma or something and they could really use some love.

I work at a bank and I really hate when people are completely unaware they are doing something sketchy. Would you bring a duffel bag into a bank? For any reason?!

I've decided to take on the most humbling pursuit a poet can take on. Writing a song.

Magic the gathering is weird. My friend opened an attraction that let him summon any Legendary 3 drop and naturally he chose Vivi. @thatjackanapes.bsky.social drew the token.

Get your tickets now for our September anniversary show! They are going faster than Frankenfurter's hips!

The final line took me a long time to mail down. Always a challenge trying to be sincere but not overly sentimental.

Woke up feeling bullied by my own body.

Ok, my beloved entered us into this contest and...we've made it to the final round somehow? (Should I admit this is the first time I've looked at it because of workmigrationbrain?) I'll post it here and ask for a vote! Why not! Would be hilarious!! americasfavcouple.org/2025/aaron-a...

Good morning✌️🍀

New medicine solves tummy ache by inducing tummy ache.

So happy to have my poem Aria for the Bathers in this batch!

I'm so lucky to have a supportive family.
