Please support this magazine of trans photography. The work in here (and the first edition which you can get online) is lovely. Easel is made by a very small handful of people, and is incredibly well done. It’s printed BEAUTIFULLY. Tell your friends about it. ◡̈

Ever wish you could search everything ever said on the senate floor in a given state for an entire year? Just added to github.

So grateful to be an awardee for MONARCH 2026 💕💕

nat is an absolute force for queer poetry - please consider lending a hand.

tl;dw: The essayist who has broken my brain many times over (in the best way) is experimenting w/ releasing a higher volume of work that's chiller & destroys her less. This is actually the best news, please check out her stuff / talk about it / join her Patreon / use her Nebula referral code / etc.

Renee Gladman, _TOAF_ from @dorothyproject.bsky.social A scarily spot-on blind-date-with-a-book from @portersqbooks.bsky.social, I was partway through Gladman's _Calamities_ & mourning there was only so much of it left. Thanks for setting us up, PSQ :)

Soooo, we now have more followers on BlueSky after 2-3 years than we did on Twitter in the 9-10ish years we were there. First of all: THANK YOU!!!! Second, that's a long time to be a bookstore on social media, so seeing this is something of a milestone, just a couple of thoughts...

An _OKPsyche_ fan spotted @adeniro.bsky.social's _From the Yew_ from @the-ethelzine.bsky.social atop my TBR pile & *read the whole thing aloud to me* I'm sure it's also good through your own eyes but I highly recommend it spoken softly into your ears by a beautiful woman if you have that option

wrote a response poem to this

stay in the fight, loves 💜

no one gets it done alone, so my 2026 resolutions are also manifesto chunks & prayers: - we will not wait for anyone to save us. - we will defend each other at risk to ourselves. - we will never do the enemy's work for them. - we will love and sing and make our demands too loud to be ignored.

What a thrill to read the kind words about "When I Try to Verify..." in here! Thanks to @voicemailpoems.bsky.social for giving it a home, and everyone in Imani Cezanne's workshop & Boston's T4T Readings for helping to shape it. & tysm to TFR for putting this all together!

"The Returns" is a gorgeous one, folks, go read it! It has the heart & depth of my favorite Anne Carson prose poems, plus the language mirrors the themes in a really lovely way. "To think there is no possibility in the crossing and still to cross."

Emily's lips to God's ears. There is a foot well in the door and a wellspring (of uh, other feet?? Unclear) flowing up and in and we are writing such such such good books you guys ❤️ ❤️ ❤️

every morning now, over coffee I whisper the same prayer: my goddess, please, let me love while hurting

WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME THAT THIS IS KINDA HOT

Oh right, that's why my fingers have been crossed for 20 years, hoping my best girl and Bright don't get back together... Hannah! Better boys await you in the wide world outside of Everwood! Hannah!! Hannah?

reminder: we reopen for new work on new year's eve! bzz bzz bzzzz!

Never Angeline North, perhaps

Today is scary. My first poem has officially been published to Rust & Moth! It’s been such a weird and long road to get here but I’m a published writer (of sorts) now. I don’t know what to do now but be hopeful that you enjoy it. Thanks. Bless.

I picked this up immediately due to its echo of "With Those We Love Alive" - I'm excited to experience where Tess has taken the mechanic & highly recommend folks also check out WTWLA.

sorry Mira but I'm not waiting for June

new poem from @reversibledestiny.bsky.social!! flinta.forum/2025/12/24/i...

“The New Sound,” my third story of 2025, is a relatively traditional sci-fi short story published in Saros #3. It follows Kath, a trans woman who’s built her life around making music with a cutting-edge aural implant that’s now falling into obsolescence. sarossf.com/issue-3/

Just realized i wrote a hybrid poem essay on how narrative opens possibilities and forecloses them wow so true thank you for this reading!

I have been and will continue to be emphatic and declarative about how much I love this poem. Go vote for it!

Anyway, evergreen

Here are some poems I wrote this year that I was proud of. I only recently returned to poems after enjoying writing them as a kid. It's a very vulnerable exercise; I'd been conditioned to find modern poetry to be cringe, and getting back into it has been scary and rewarding. Anyway, hope you enjoy

reposting this because this might be my favorite thing palimrya's written; it's the kind of story that just sticks in my head like sap and won't ever go away. beautiful and dense and makes me feel all kinds of terrible and wonderful things. not reading it is just fucking stupid

A 🧵of some publications of mine from 2025 I'm especially proud of: A short story about two of the feminine archetypes that have shaped me, namely Margaret Atwood and She-Hulk, in HAD:
