In honor of ToughPigs' 25th anniversary, our team got together to vote on our top 25 Muppet characters who were introduced in the past 25 years. That's a lot of "25"s!! www.toughpigs.com/toughpigs25-...

I started getting followed by some "film festivals" and "writing festivals" and thought "oh, these are cool!" Then I looked a little closer. They're all part of a network that preys on writers, charging us for reviews, and feeding our stuff into slop generators. So I made a list.👋🏻🖕🏻😠
It's RELEASE DAY! Lower those shoulders, take a deep breath, and read some fantastic short fiction and poetry! www.heartlines-spec.com/issue-11/

Doodle No. 203 Your friendly neighborhood bog witch. She uses parasitic fungi to reanimate the dead and brews tea from herbs that grow in graveyards. She has one of those "Cut here" tattoos around her neck. If she dies, so long as her head is recovered, she can be revived.
Something that gets forgotten about Miss Piggy now that she's a superstar is that she puts in the work. She didn't get to where she is without pain and sacrifice.
I've switched up my #5amwritersclub routine and now take care of other morning routines before sitting down to work. And that's okay. We change. Our rhythms change. And our writing changes. And we can make those changes for the better.
Help us make it a reality! Let’s keep celebrating poetry at the Hugo Awards!
Marie Brennan@swantower.bsky.social · 3w agoLast year, we successfully passed a vote for a permanent Hugo Award for Best Poem -- but the job isn't done! To go into effect, the amendment needs to be ratified this year (the current Hugo is a Special Award and therefore temporary). Details here: www.poetryhugo.com
Energy.gov's history of the lightbulb timeline only goes to the year 2200. I'm not sure if this means that lightbulbs will no longer be a thing in 2200 or if time itself will stop.
My child has created his own ungendered pronouns for others: yo/yo's. Ex. That's not yo's Pokemon. Yo doesn't even collect Pokemon. It's only gendered in that by creating it, he has outed himself as the most bro kid you could imagine.

I find it weird to talk about my queerness, because I don't really think about my queerness. But I wrote this article so I can refer to it instead of talking about it. Instead ask me about my quests through the misty deserts.
