finally working again on my story about a haunted house, the isolation of trans women, and the world's least healthy crush. i missed this damn story.

oh this is the kind of story i'm obsessed with. concise and sharp and heartbreaking, unwilling to step off the emotional gas pedal, so thoroughly engrossed in the voice of this dedicated devoted despairing limerence. ouagh

Hi! I have a story out in Small Wonders today! This is a little horny gremlin of a tale and I hope you take a chance on it, if you're into words and whatnot.

Small Wonders @smallwondersmag.com · Sep 1

What takes you out of time? And what is sweet enough to bring you back into it again? Read Marika Bailey's "Gifted and Talented" today and consider what moves you so that you could move others:

Gifted and Talented - Small Wonders

Being beyond time is a revolution against creation most bodies aren’t built to bear. It’ll kill you, that dark matter time.

finally got around to making my collage for wine-dark eyes! this one's for those who like fish and mist and calm horror and missed connections.

a collage showing two hands (one face down on top, the other face up below), with colorful fish, an eel, an octopus, and a small isopod falling between them.

finding out i have an ai overview for let her collect stamps is the funniest thing to happen to me today

A Google AI Overview reading: ""Let Her Collect Stamps" is the title of a short story by Juniper White, published in Apex Magazine. The story explores themes of legacy, the mundane, and the acceptance of death, particularly within the context of Palestinian elders passing on their life and experiences. Juniper White is a Palestinian author, and the story is said to be influenced by the experiences of Palestinian elders."

i write a lot abt trans and/or sapphic women! some of the more explicitly queer stuff is yet to be published, but my flash pieces in tiny molecules and weird horror both run on the narrative engines of lesbian yearning :3
