In my eternal quest to become a middle-class white woman, I picked up a new hobby.

Baking didn't work out (I think it contributed to my diabetes).

Here are three notebooks I finished this week. They aren't perfect, and I am still learning, but I like how these turned out.

I accidentally left my emotional support mouse pad at work yesterday. I felt awkward writing without it, letting my mouse scape naked against the table at the coffee shop.

Hi! I wrote a short little lyric essay about snow, Texas, and running away from home for Hippocampus.

Jake Barnes, River Dog, demands we all pay attention to him this morning. He's a narcissist.

I just got my copies of Black Lily in the mail. I love the Goth protest vibe here.

Thank you to Beth Gilstrap for including my story "Black Boots in the Rain." It's a Queer, Goth, Antifascist protest story that means a lot to me.

And it's so cool to see my name with so many talented writers.

I have a review of Brian Trapp's fantastic Range of Motion (Acre, 2025) out in this issue of New Ohio Review.

Also, check out this cover art by Ashura Lewis. And the writers and work in this issue are just brilliant.

Dave Wanczyk knows how to put together a journal.

The journals will mostly be printed in zine form, while the Science and Business journals will be digital.
