fun fact: if a recipe tells you it will take 8 to 10 minutes to caramelize onions, they're a lying-ass bitch

I walk down the street in leather shoes so fresh they still smell like the open fields the cow called home.
POEM 301: "Something Borrowed" by Frances Klein (@fklein907.bsky.social)
I go into the deli and ask the old man behind the counter if I can borrow his cufflinks. He says he stole them from a coffin, and it’s no kind of luck to bring dead gold to a living altar

I felt like making some art last night/today and could have made something beautiful and/or meaningful but I made this instead.

this book is SO good, and the cover is perfect
So excited to share a cover reveal for Terrestrial, out May 2026! I've admired Angelo's book covers for other Malarkey books and I'm thrilled it was my turn to need one. I love what he designed for it.
So happy to share the cover for @suzyeynon.bsky.social’s forthcoming novella, Terrestrial (May 2026, preorders open now and copies will be signed by the author). As ever, @angeelio.bsky.social gave us something special.

This issue took forever because life was basically impossible last year. I'm proud to have it out now though. I hope you read it. These poets deserve your attention.

Has the puddle from earlier this week turned to ice? Yes. Am I still out back grilling corn? Yes. It’s too good that way.

This has quietly become one of the coolest things in the world, at least in our world.
Made a few changes to @malarkeybooks.bsky.social’s Mealarkey guidelines. In times like these we need good art and good food more than ever. And even anarchists have a cookbook.
