Today! Read the alt-universe dreams of @sarahgracetuttle.bsky.social in their story "A Pothos, Once Freed":

In this universe, she kept the window closed. Her pothos plant pressed its leaves against the glass and stretched toward the sky as best it could."

In 2019 I was suicidal-posting and the Sonder Magazine Twitter account reached out to make sure I was okay… I’m doing so much better now! I’m thankful they were there for me at that time.

Today we're highlighting our first micro-story, penned by the poetic askresnak.bsky.social --

"The virus makes the petals bioluminescent," she told me. "It'll blow you away. But it'll destroy the species."

"Who would've thought," I said. "What's your life like? Who's your father?"

Why are we still “defending” theses? When can we start “attacking” with paint brushes, stacks of manuscripts, etc?

deepest of deep breaths

feeling nervous about this one, friends! I've written about the mainstreaming of pull-to-publish, its impact on fandom, and what it means for an increasingly corporate and IP-driven creative landscape.
"Feed fanfic into capitalism, and it comes out shaped like capitalism."

@readingtheend.bsky.social dissects the trend pulling fanfiction through the traditional publishing pipeline (and what it means for fandom):
