“My roommate stacks the bar jukebox with do-me-wrong songs, leaves the alcohol out of my alcohol. Angry-irons pleats into my work pants. Conducts research on bath bombs that cause urinary tract infections” — @marybid.bsky.social @eldiagram.bsky.social thediagram.com/21_5/bidding...
We reprinted a few of these for AWP 2026 but we're bringing back the Rooster DIAGRAM shirt for the first time on triblend (super comfy/stretchy/breathable) fabric. This is the one on dark shirts: thediagram.com/merch/produc...

I had a story, "1988," published in Black Candies back in 2018, which I recently dropped from my short story collection manuscript, and so now it kinda isn't anywhere and maybe won't ever be, so I posted it here:

We're wrapping ACCOMPLISHMENT SUNDAY with a cool breakdown review 💕Contributor @suburbanprairie.bsky.social’s book "Teen Queen Training" was reviewed by @icooper435.bsky.social for @eldiagram.bsky.social ✨ buff.ly/jZAGt7n
The nightmare objects in the dreams of those in 1930s Germany struck me as too mundane when I read Charlotte Beradt’s The Third Reich of Dreams—the lamp that tells one woman’s secrets, for instance.

Delighted to start the year with a poem in the new issue of Diagram! I wrote this one several years ago about police shootings, which is only timely again now because we have a police killing people problem that makes it always timely. *heavy sigh* Enjoy!
