Tell us yourΒ stories.
I'm thinking a lot about independent voices these days. Fiction, poetry, and essays have the power to tell truths. The pressure is on to RightSpeak, whether it is restricting news outlets for not using his newβ¦

As a queer American expat, I want to use the privilege of living abroad to support my community. For the next year, if youβre an Org or researcher serving the LGBTQIA+ community (UK/USA), Iβll meet your project budget. WHATEVER it is. Animation, illustration, answer's yes: pay what you can. DM me.
I picture a cliff. The waters below are treacherous. A crowd is tightly packed.
Trump, Elon, & oligarchs are far from the edge. They push. Some Immigrants, nonbinary and trans people tumble on day 1.
The oligarchs push again. We need to push back but our little bit of grass seems safe. Will we?

Thanks Dan! Your story is breathtaking.

"I want the word to sound
like what it is.
Let it contain the rulerβs hard edge,
retributionβs sharp teeth,
the voice constricted, then
expelled by force."

Sometimes poetry is the best way to make a statement. Powerful piece. Thank you for sharing with our readers.
I woke up the day after the election and revised this poem that has been sitting in my files. Thank you, @tangledlockslit.bsky.social , for publishing it.
A poetic and linguistic exploration of the ruling.

Allowing hate speech on social media platforms makes it incredibly difficult to amplify the words of marginalized writers. We are on Bluesky but many members of our community are on Facebook and Instagram.

Tangled Lives, the collection from @tangledlockslit.bsky.social is finally out! Thanks to all the writers and editors for making this happen. My poem, London Fever, is included.
