Congratulations!
Katie Darby Mullins@katiedarbymullins.bsky.social · last yr.Thanks Last Syllable Lit for publishing an essay that is either about: sleep, intensity, acting, my stroke, my OCD, procedural television, a moment of kindness on social media, or @vincentdonofrio.bsky.social. I hope it’s the latter, but most likely all of the above. lastsyllablelit.com/procedural
Congratulations!
Whitney Rio-Ross@whitlynnrioross.bsky.social · last yr.I'm honored to be included in the gorgeous @lastsyllablelit.bsky.social's latest issue!

So. I cried a lot today. So then I read this beautiful essay “On Crying” on @lastsyllablelit.bsky.social I’ve also wondered about the “Weeping Woman” across cultures. I, too, have tried forcing myself to cry in church to no avail, only to cry for myself later on. 🤍 lastsyllablelit.com/on-crying
