ALOCASIA @alocasiamag.bsky.social · 4mo ago

So so thrilled to announce the first installation of the ALOCASIA Summer Creative Writing Workshop Series, led in May by Ashely Adams! RSVP on Eventbrite to reserve your free ticket! www.eventbrite.com/e/1987567638...

Oil spill painting in the background. Text reads Ashely Adams and ALOCASIA present Killing the Planet: Writing the Sixth Mass Extinction. May 16 at 6pm EST, Free, Virtual on Zoom. ALOCASIA.org. How do we articulate the devastation caused by ongoing environmental violence? How do we mourn the lives of billions of creatures lost solely for temporary profit? How can we grieve the futures that will not be while creating a new world worth fighting for? Killing the Planet: Writing the Sixth Mass Extinction is a generative writing workshop that gives writers a framework for braiding ecological disaster into personal narratives. Writers will be invited to be witnesses to extinctions great and small and imagine how we might pull ourselves away from the edge of collapse.

This one really affected me. Imaginative and painful. Fantastic.

"This is Not Your Extinction Event" by @esichr.bsky.social is the best kind of multiverse love story: complicated, painful, gorgeous. Let this one break your heart and piece it back together today 🪐🗡️ Read it here: othersidespec.com/pieces/this-...

Excerpt of the short story THIS IS NOT YOUR EXCTINCTION EVENT by Elena Sichrovsky on a blurred blue background. Quote text: Earth 67 is a bronze house key attached to a dark blue shoestring under a plastic doormat. There's a key-shaped imprint on the concrete step beneath, as if no one's crossed the threshold of this house for years. Neither do I."

Open to interpretation! Go back three seconds. Jump forward 1,000 years. Freeze time, melt it, condense it, stretch it out. Is someone too early? Are you too late? Make me laugh. Make me cry. Make me shriek. (Make me all three?) Bonus if there is a bird (I like birds).

Max 200 words

Send up to 2 (as long as total word count is less than 200)
