"Three is how many days my grandfather spoke words that made no sense from his hospital bed, zero is how many of us understood his babbling. Two is the number of doctors who told us he was gone." Deeply moving CNF @thorntonforreal.bsky.social Briliant playing with numbers.

"In the lullaby of this lonely New Zealand night, I heard the lap of the ghost ship’s oars and the major-chord music in the moorings off the coastal scrub." "The fable falls, the wall tumbles, and we are kissing." Gorgeous pieces @pdforan.bsky.social literarynamjooning.wixsite.com/litnam/post/...

I'm halfway through @kiklodge.bsky.social's amazing book, "The Bully in My Pillow." Can't wait to return to it.

Kik Lodge@kiklodge.bsky.social · last wk.

A tiny slither of a book spotted in Damn Fine Bookstore, Lyon, cosying up to Toni Morrison. Oh yeah. 😬😮🙏

In today's episode of "I'm an Adult!" I voted, got my hair cut, and made reservations for Thanksgiving dinner. This has exhausted me, so I must lie down.

Can't wait to read!

Chestnut Review@chestnutreview.bsky.social · 7d ago

Are you in that dark autumn slump? Perhaps feeling the need to read some darker fiction? Well, then Allison Field Bell’s new chapbook and debut flash fiction collection is just what the doctor ordered. Available to purchase now on our website (linked in bio!) and on Amazon!

"But I’m not dead obviously. I didn’t even see any bears while I was camping. I pinch a fold of skin on my right arm until it hurts so much I have to stop. This is how I know I’m alive." Terrific story @iamchrisscott.bsky.social & what an end!

Chris Scott@iamchrisscott.bsky.social · last wk.

I have a new micro about DYING in the latest @identitytheory.bsky.social. Thanks to @vicnogaywrites.bsky.social for selecting this, and to you for reading it! It's very short.

So excited to be in this issue of @trashcatlit.bsky.social and particularly to be teasered with my mate @kathyprokhovnik.bsky.social!! Grab a tinny and your cork hat! We’re off on an Aussie adventure! 🦘🧡🧡🧡

Trash Cat Lit@trashcatlit.bsky.social · last wk.

More teasings for our first prose poem issue, coming Monday 🦝 @kathyprokhovnik.bsky.social gives us a vast fragment of love in one piece, and the sea, senses, & structure in her second 💜 Sumitra Singam @pleomorphic2.bsky.social gives us relatable pain, momentum and acceptance in the yoga studio 💜

"When I look at Chicory on the side of the road hanging out with all the other ditch weeds, I think, Dang that is a masculine but jaunty plant! I love that Jo March is rough and wild and boyish, and also tenderhearted to boot." @aniking.bsky.social's wildflower tattoo--Love this guest blog!

Ani King (they/them)@aniking.bsky.social · 7d ago

ICYMI, my tattoo is Pippi Longstocking’s fault.

"Some thunderstruck trees along the way look hollowed-out and gnarly like Nana’s body. I just hope the road signs won’t betray me, switching between languages every few towns, leading everywhere but Nevada." Gorgeous story @sarpsozdinler.bsky.social reckonreview.com/slot-machine...

Just one place left now. When it's gone, it's gone!

A couple of spots left on my editing course, the Editorial Funnel starting 5th October. This is the LAST time I'll be running the course for a fair while as I turn my attention to other things. www.mattkendrick.co.uk/the-editoria...

I love this for him!

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · last wk.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

"If moisture gathers behind the eyes, check the seal, then check it again. If nothing has failed, wipe her face without comment." Wow, what a stunner @blakepierpoint.bsky.social

Matt was amazing. So grateful for his help.

Matt Kendrick@mattkendrick.bsky.social · last wk.

This is a book and a half - seriously, if you love flash, you WILL WANT this collection. Every piece is a gem. I was so honoured to work on this with Claudia.

Family Night the unboxing!!! Out with @masonjarpress.bsky.social who are so amazing. This is the queer, trans flash book of my dreams. I’m so fucking grateful to have it out in the world. youtube.com/shorts/RX4rj...

Sumitra Singam@pleomorphic2.bsky.social · 2w ago

So apparently I write poems now and here are three that Jagged Edge very kindly took. The line breaks (I’m a bit chuffed with them) work best on desktop. I also like “Where is the slip inside you that allows an ugly man in” hope you do too 🧡 www.jaggededge.org/read/three-p...
