"Interstate Mohinis" by @emelkrishnan.bsky.social is 🔥. I'll be listening.
M. L. Krishnan@emelkrishnan.bsky.social · last mo.OMG, it's here! I just feel so lucky that the incredible @sunadasi.bsky.social narrated "Interstate Mohinis" for @pseudopod.org! If you've ever wanted to listen to it, it doesn't get better than Suna freaking Dasi narrating my story (twice!). I'm so thrilled and grateful 🥹🖤🥹🖤
Congratulations to @pdforan.bsky.social on his book publication: Songs From The Blimp Ruins—I’ve been such a big fan of Pat & his words since we connected years ago. His writing is unique & unusual & resonant. The best way I can describe it is emotionally dynamic, & Pat himself, so loving & kind 💛
Bonus craft-adjacent article for June (because "real" work isn't happening because of body / weather 🤪). This is all about wonderful words. A lot of fun to write. I might do a small series of these posts if others enjoy them as much as me: prattlefogandgravelrap.substack.com/p/these-are-...
These are a Few of my Favourite Words
I love words. As writers, words are the tools of our trade. But my love of words goes even deeper than that. I love the way they sound. I love their rhythms. I love the way they connect together

Just saying this again - if you submit AI stories to magazines, you are a piece of poop. If you keep getting accepted by naive/trusting editors, you're an even bigger poop. And if you loudly preach against AI while subbing AI stories.... 😡 Some of us see you.
