DEAR MOTHERSHIP
the new poetry collection by @poetmarcuswicker.bsky.social dropping Sept. 8th...
A bite.

"The office siren: fills a plastic cup from the water cooler, sprinkles in salt from a shaker on her desk."
Absolutely STOKED to share a new experimental @katharinetyndall.bsky.social story! This one culminates so perfectly, absolutely fitting for the week of International Women's Day. Go go go π§ββοΈπ
I think it would work if it remembered that the experiences are universal. Less about trying to modernize. I was working at Domino's during high school around 2000 and it was crazy how real it felt to my life. Not surprising coming from Crowe and Heckerling. Cheaper to film since malls are dead.
a picture of the book with the words NOW AVAILABLE
"PARTIALLY DEVOURED: How Night of the Living Dead Saved My Life & Changed the World" is OUT NOW!
The wildest movie deep dive you've ever read

a memoir of how the film changed my life (and how *any* art can change yours).

No, see, I pretend to write so I get to make Playlists to purge weird emotional shit I can't work out and nothing gets done but at least I feel worse.
Yes, I'm single. Why do you ask?

We're all growing old
But where there's a will, there is a way
So way to go"

Never wrong investing in yourself.
Is it accidentally making eye contact with yourself in the screen while writing and looking away bashfully?
Kaleidotrope will be open to fiction and poetry submissions April 19-25.
Kaleidotrope is currently open to artwork submissions.
If there is no intentionality behind what is being shown, it's just a revenue stream, you'd at least think people would see that as a creative space to film animals and their neighborhood and dumb shit. Or really play up how uncomfortable the people on screen are. If you feel it's a necessary evil.
Y'all laugh, but that man is writing the Human/AI Bill of Rights. Who will be the joke then?
Spite made me a stronger reader than pizza ever could. Lol.
The flip side is if you lived in a rural area your teacher could withhold stamps because they didn't like your choice of books so you still ended up pizza-less.
Looks like dawn dropped the ball if Biffo is still kicking.
