Happy New Story Sunday! This week, we have a really original, really lovely story by @emmiechristie33.bsky.social. It's a bold experiment, somehow locating an island of stability in the space of stories past the viable, beyond the epistolary and magical-realist, yet somehow surviving out there.

My next poem is out in Disabled Tales! "Sleeping Defiant" is one of my favorites I've ever written.

Inside the dead of winter /
Curls a fiery soul /
A little bear that sleeps defiant /
Waiting out the cold /

Apparently on Christian tiktok they're predicting a rapture on Tuesday. So I'm going in to work early, laying out an outfit of clothing in my office and pretending it got me.

Pro tips from a woman. If you are a man who says "actually," whenever a woman talks, stop doing that. No, really. STOP IT.

The primary diff between writing fiction and nonfiction is when you write nonfic, you research a topic for 2 weeks and then write 1000 words on it and when you write fiction you research a topic for 2 weeks and get one sentence out of it.

I have a poem out in Disabled Tales today. If you feel like expressing an existential crisis, this poem will help you get those feelings out. "Re-Runs of an Eerie Sun" www.disabledtales.co.uk/poetry
