Excited to say that my story "Pandora's Unboxing" was sold to @gavagai.com! It will appear there soon. Pandora has an unboxing to do in her Youtube channel: the ancient jar where she kept her past selves. As the son of a mother who was abused by my father, this story is deeply personal to me.

ICYMI because I shared this in the middle of the night - I have a new story up at @gavagai.com! api.gavagai.com/share/posts/...

“Why are you wasting time when there’s such an increasing lack of it ahead?” Great new story from @babarnett.bsky.social ! A fun, quick read, but delivered with a sort of quiet restraint that makes the strangeness feel completely believable.

my teens which I was immersed in a normal amount (300k novel monstrosity I showed to no one, comics, used to draw these characters every day). Really interesting to dip a toe in from my current perspective. Here’s some very very old art of early iterations of these characters for the curious! 2/2

This is such a lovely story about the love of a place and what it means to accept someone or some place with all its tiny or big craks. No one and nowhere is perfect. You just have to find where you feel at home. 😭❤️ By @aimeeogdenwrites.com in @gavagai.com gavagai.com/posts/3408
