Just posted up at the hotel bar and grill, waiting for check in with a cocktail, out here on Victoria Island. In ten years of marriage and who knows how many years before that, I don't think either of us have had a vacation in our adult lives? This place is DOPE
This is a really powerful article and I encourage you to read it. Trans history is too often missing or destroyed. This story gave me hope—queer people in even darker times finding inspiration and family with their peers.
Lisa Severn@lisasevern.uk · 3d ago"the fact that the group came together in solidarity at all [..] signifies a big shift in how trans people saw themselves. They weren’t freaks or weirdos or medically afflicted; they were part of an oppressed class" In the 1890s! www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/07/a-se...
DELIGHTED to have received "The Sea in You" from @ironcircuscomics.bsky.social ... And it sounds like they're having a sale, I believe? On literally everything?!
Just hit the 10 pieces waiting for review at one time milestone. Feels good! Think I'll celebrate with a palate cleansing piece of flash fiction, then dig in hard to writing a novel/ette
Oooh, love it on the rare occasion an algo does me a solid with work I haven't heard before... www.youtube.com/watch?v=SdX_...

Snippet from something submitted to Scylla's upcoming sapphic anthology: "I narrowed my eyes at the man, who appraised us openly from the waiting room. Even the most unclean, untouchable butcher would have put glass between us and his stare." #favlinefriday

My wife said "that's not very kashrut money of you" and yeah
When I talk about missing Tex-Mex food culture, this is it, right here. Not just the food itself (the best on earth), but also the communities around it. Some of my favorite memories involve hustling 9 ball until the gentleman with two full igloos of tamales came into the bar late at night.

I'll say it, I'm not scared, I'll eat a fuckin eagle. Fuck, stuff it in a goose, roast both them shits, I'll eat a eagloose.

I'm mid 40's, and lucky to have the disposable income for a nice meal once in a while and to keep a house cat, so various surgeries and body modifications just aren't in the cards, and that's "fine", but IF THEY WERE... Man, I'd wanna keep the scars, gnarlier the better.

I don't suppose any magazines are looking for slush readers? I figured it'd be a brilliant way to learn about what other writers are sending in and to get a feel for what editors think makes something stand out, but an application I put in has been waiting long enough for me to shop around.

Howdy, Paige here, mostly writing horror and "weird" fiction. Alot of submissions out there waiting, and the current WIP closest to finishing involves an immortal "monster" struggling with modernity, but rediscovering passion and a way to satisfy her terrible hunger
Weeknight Writers@weeknightwriters.bsky.social · 3w agoHello #WeeknightWriters ! Come on in, introduce yourself and your WIP, and let us know how your writing week is going! Or not going, that's valid too
Damn thoughtful piece here, alot to chew on for an ambitious writer thinking about explicit sex in their work
Rien Gray@riengray.bsky.social · 3w agogoing from the book I just finished (which was rife with the erotic bait-and-switch mentioned in my essay below) to Night's Master, where Tanith Lee in the intro is like "yeah I was reading a lot of Wilde so this is full-on bisexual eroticism" was a stark about-face www.riengray.com/blog/the-per...

One two punch of rejections. I really am sorry if talking about it is either triggering or just obnoxious. I'm just trying to take a "celebrate the scars" approach to all these submissions. Getting stronger, not going to question whether my work has value.
Finally saw big fat bee in the garden first time this year, the real chonky type, diggin on the coneflowers. Missed those boys!
