them: The beavers are NOT okay. me: SAY LESS 📚 🏃🏃♀️🏃♂️💨 anything by @sydhegele.bsky.social is bound to be weird-as-fuck—so basically, an immediate “yes”
Dr Mitten@mittencrab.bsky.social · 3mo agoThe Pump by Sydney Hegele Small town horror. The beavers are NOT okay. Love the way this tangled together various short stories. Also really loved how queer so much of it was!

so back in 2017, two things happened: 1. a reality tv persona became the u.s. president 2. i started falling madly & deeply in love it was… the strangest mashup that, naturally, i could only make sense of by writing my way through. said writing is now an essay in @callaloojournal.bsky.social

I am Jamaican and I am in the Caribbean for the first time since the pandemic but I am not in Jamaica. This feels like a betrayal of my people somehow… Anywho, here’s the view from my breakfast nook of Trinidad’s shoreline. #TrinidadTobago #TravelSky

The past is another country, and for the protagonists of debut novels by Karen Barrow (Palmyra) and @christinajcooke.bsky.social (Broughtupsy), a return to a place that was once home excavates secrets & possible other lives. At #bocas2026 they'll be in conversation with Michael A. Bucknor.
speaking this into the universe in the wild hopes it’ll come true: pls, whomever/whatever is above, pls let someone reasonable buy #TheWashingtonPost after besoz writes it off via bankruptcy. PLEASE give america another chance at meaningful democracy—though she most certainly does not deserve it.
the worst part of getting older is how it messes with yr sleep. that’s the only part of being 18 that i yearn to relive 😩 #aging #ElderMillenial

today’s #butchwomanchronicles in #LGBTSky: sometimes i stroke my lil’ lady-beard when deep in thought & folks often see me doing it & take that as a sign i’m lowkey a man. which is funny—cause to me, in that moment, i’m having a hard think like the grandest of wizards who’s bouta gather all 🧵 1/2

Rob Reiner either made your favorite movie, or made somebody you know’s favorite movie. If you’re a Californian, he’s also part of the reason you or your friends can get married. He has changed more lives for the better than this asshole commenting on him ever did.
to folks using outlook who react to emails w/ emojis, quick question: WHY i am not one of yr little friends, susan. i am yr coworker. i only know yr name cause u STAY clogging up my inbox. bffr. #email #google #microsoft #technology #weird #officelife #wfh
