Is sewing machine envy even a thing?!? Such a thrill to interview artist extraordinaire Lorraine Roy about her incredible fabric creations that served as writing prompts in this issue of Hotch Potch Literature and Art. One of many examples of the work that's in the issue.

How do queer moms parent their sons? The question isn't “Are our kids okay?” said co-editor @gmschwartz.bsky.social. “We feel like that’s been established.” Rather, do queer moms have “something particular to offer in terms of nurturing healthy masculinity”? mombian.com/2025/05/29/n...

How do queer moms parent their sons? The question isn’t just “Are our kids okay?” explained Gail Marlene Schwartz, co-editor of a new book on the topic. “We feel like that’s been established.”…

When we read a story, we step into someone else's shoes, live in someone else's world, and make decisions we couldn't fathom in our ordinary lives. No wonder literature is such a powerful antidote to fascism. #hotchpotchliterary #indieauthor #litmags #literarymagazine #shortstory
