I have a new poem out! In @smallwondersmag.com today.
Ooo now I'm up to 15 rejections this year. That's almost a third of my goal and it's only mid February! HOW MUCH MORE REJECTION CAN I MAKE HAPPEN
Another classic post-Homan day where around school dismissal time we get a flurry of ICE vehicles all across our neighborhoods. Today one vehicle led an observer to their own home and pointed at it. This is a sick game to them, but we won’t be intimidated and we won’t stop until DHS is abolished.
Gonna log off this app for the rest of the weekend but I wanted to boost this.
If you are interested in participating in the nomination process for the Ignyte awards we have an application.
Our awards are very dear to me. I thought the dire urgency of them would fade. I was wrong. We keep going 🖤
"I needed someone to tell me they saw the monster too, and it was bad, and it was scary, and we should all be screaming."
Just....very much yes. Thank you @cjtavares.bsky.social and @interstellarflight.bsky.social for the excellent essay about horror as comfort.
Screenshot of a spreadsheet. It reads: "Rejection rate: 183%. Acceptance rate: 0%."
This year's been a doozy so I have been behind posting. I'm currently at 6 submissions, 11 rejections, 0 acceptances in 2025. My very kind spreadsheet interprets this as: rejection rate 183% vs. a 0% acceptance rate.

"'We lost all trust,' a current ICE official added. 'I’m not sure I can see how we exist three years from now.'”
If an ICE official can see there being a world without ICE, there's no reason any of us shouldn't be able to do the same thing.

"CBP stays at the border" might sound like a win, but keep in mind that this is what "the border" means to them www.aclumaine.org/know-your-ri...
Aww. Thank you. I've got a few started. Definitely feeling the call to get some more Max Herkimer stories finished, though!
Reckoning X is here! And I have a story in it.
So grateful to have this particular story, about an oddball psychogeographic investigator who listens to birds as much as people, in this particular magazine.
Demonstrators at the January 7, 2026, evening vigil for Renee Nicole Good. A tall flag reads "Fuck ICE."

New year, new rejection collection. This year I'm going to aim for 50 rejections out of the gate, and just got my first from Apex! 🎇
Okay, please ignore my previous rejection count as I was confused on the numbers. Probably because I wasn't quite done convalescing.
Reached rejection 43 over the weekend!
And submission 53. So 7 more submissions until I hit my goal for 2025.
Whoa! Lots of rejections while I was convalescing:
🔮 52, 53, and 54 from Augur (poetry)
🏳️🌈 55 from Otherside
🎇 56 from Cast of wonders
Might I actually make it to 60?!
I just crossed 51 submissions for the year....which admittedly leaves me pretty far short of my goal of 60 rejections. But! It's the most I've ever done in a single year, and I still have 5 weeks to go. Many of the new ones will have to count towards next year's rejection goals, but still!
Rejections 35 and 36, from Three Lobed Burning Eye 👁 and Pseudopod 🐙. 60% of the way there! WOOOOOOO
Rejection 34 for 2025 from Wild Hunt Books. 🦌
Rejections 32 and 33 (personal), from Planet Scumm and If There's Anyone Left. Just need...27 more by the end of the year. 😅
This post it just the prompt; there's a story in the replies from @howsweetthewords.bsky.social that I loved
So GOOOOOD. Thank you. <3
If you're a cis person who wants to be kind to your trans and nonbinary friends right now, please do not forward us links to stories about trans people being abused, having their rights taken away, or living in fear. We already know. A friendly "hey I hope you're OK" is much more helpful. 💖
As someone who is neurodiverse and on the spectrum, I have thoughts on that presidential big announcement about autism. Here we go!
We've always been around. We'll always be here. Living, seeing, loving, dying. 1/

Trans rights are not the rights of a tiny minority, trans rights are everyone’s rights to self-determination, control of our bodies, and a society where opportunity and aesthetics are not restricted by sex assigned at birth
You should support and defend trans people because trans people are people
Rejections 30 and 31 from Small Wonders. It was a nice one! 💙
Rejection 29 from Uncanny. 👽 Thankfully just in time to send this story out to a no-simsubs market!
Two measures of music in common time on perpetual repeat. Quarter note equals 80. Three voices needed. Children's choir, which screams any sound they want on the first beat, sforzando. And then silent. Ar -15 which keeps a steady, nonstop beat. And Congress, which is always silent
A little ditty I wrote
You must!
From me, a list of Trump supporters who killed, or tried to kill, Democrats and opponents of Trump in recent years (since the right are now claiming all the political violence is from the left!)
