Wearing the Body | Louisiana Literature
“What’s the trick?” She asked as she leaned forward in her chair. Her blouse dipped as she did so, revealing the slopes of her breasts and the necklace that hung between them. It was a pendant, shaped like a half-lidded eye. The pupil was a tiny black pearl.

The penultimate issue of my literary magazine is almost here. I gave Stanchion over 6 years of my life, but it's just about time to say goodbye to the beautiful thing I started so I could be the proverbial utilitarian structure that allows the light of others to shine.
Hello, I need $3000 almost immediately. If anyone can help me here I'm extremely desperate.
SPADEROTICA@kolleencarney.bsky.social · 7d agoI only come here to post about Spader and my lawyer fees. I just got another $3500 bill so I guess it's lawyer fees today. Please like or share or donate to this, I am seriously just about to eat a bullet instead of dealing with any of this. I cannot believe I've had to spend $18k on this bullshit.
A note on FREE SUB months: They often close early when our cap w/ Submittable maxes out or we AMAZINGLY get more subs than our small team can read in a timely fashion. So get them in early & thank you for your understanding!

Leslie Pietrzyk@lesliepwriter.bsky.social · 6d ago6 books I read this summer that I loved & would recommend. Extra-special to love a book by a friend, Caroline Bock & to be thrilled by the works of 2 writers whose work I avidly follow, @saralippmann.bsky.social & @andrewporter01.bsky.social The other 3 are new-to-me discoveries. Happy reading!
We're getting an older Chevy Bolt with a refurbished battery and I am here for any/all advice about owing our first EV.
Hi NAWPsters! How was your summer? I see you're here, in the apocalyptic wastelands of social media, so how about you share a poem you read & liked this summer?
Dobbs was an absolutely disgusting & reprehensible attack by the Supreme Court on women's health & lives, & now, sadly, we have the facts to show it. How many more deaths will we allow the Supreme Court to cause?
Jessica Valenti@jessicavalenti.bsky.social · 6d agoHorrific though unsurprising report from @propublica.org: Ectopic pregnancy deaths have basically doubled since the end of Roe
