You do not need the robots to creatively prompt you! Just try to take the most violent bite of yourself possible. Try to swallow yourself whole

the government doesn’t want you to realize that you can participate in this world’s continuing act of creation which is why you should make art and be a transsexual

I owe my writing partner so many pages because I moved and then immediately flew to AWP.

someday when TBQ opens for submissions again I am going to want to see your best Abolish ICE submissions.

I want even more immigrant submissions than we already receive.
I want your utopias and I want your recipes for resisting fascism.

We also accept pieces in Spanish no translation necessary.

Instead of hate reading some nonsense essay about gender by some very hateable fella, you could read my book full of essays that are also about gender, and labour, and death, and addiction, and music, but in a much more curious and much more fun way

I'll be giving @governor.ny.gov a call tomorrow to ask what she'll be doing to bring the Border Patrol murderers of Nurul Shah Alam to justice and if you live in New York I suggest you do too. If it can happen to him it can happen to any of us. 518-474-8390

my babies are hot off the press. I designed this mag with a loving eye. If you're at AWP next week come snag your copy. For $5 it's cheaper than Taco Bell

Not only can you nominate your favorite books of last year. You SHOULD.

Evening House Books Buffalo's downtown bookstore, a parlor-style cove for deep cut indie literature and bold, diverse, voices.

Friendly reminder I got laid off recently & want the bookstore to be my main job alongside Amanda. Spent the last week brainstorming how to make it happen.

Some cool things you could do to help:
-Buy books at @eveninghouse.bsky.social, in-person or online
-buy Boxcutters or Feast
-hype either

Silk and Foxglove anthology, a BIPOC erotic eco-horror anthology, with a collaged artwork of a red circle, a dragonfly, and a sensual rear end!

Silk and Foxglove anthology, a BIPOC erotic eco-horror anthology, with a collaged artwork of a red circle, a dragonfly, and a sensual rear end!

Due to the sudden closure of the small press publishing our anthology, we're looking for a new home!

"Silk and Foxglove" is a BIPOC anthology of 13 stories of erotic-eco-horror! It's weird, gorgeous, evocative, & unnerving as hell!

Please boost! If any small presses are interested, let me know!
