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.
the closest match i find: two pebbles, carved into miniature, near-identical foxes. differences only appear in defects inflected by unskilled hands. two carvers on opposite sides of the world, centuries apart, foxes tucked away in stony caves. i oft dream of attempting to carve them a third sibling.
The thing about stones is you will never find two the same. You try; searching sandy shores, mossy caves, and volcanic peaks, but there is always variation in texture, shape, gradation, and history. What are some of the jewels (literal or not) of your collection?

Respect Alice Wong’s call here:
“When I am in public spaces and see most people unmasked either because they think the virus is a hoax, that masking is virtue signaling & a sign of weakness, aren't thinking about it, or that they simply don’t care, I feel like an expendable burden not worth saving.”

GoFundMe has deleted my friend Sama'a's account and refunded its donors. She is struggling with depression and despair and needs our support now more than ever. They have created a new fundraiser to help them survive in the war-torn wreckage of Gaza City.

so in my spreadsheet i use to track submissions i color code all my stories, but i'm running into a problem, which is how many of them are different shades of grey. i think i might be a bit addicted to melancholy

i have a horrible addiction to writing tropes i dislike. the coming out story from the pov of the cisgender parents, the war story from the pov of the imperialist soldier. viewpoints that decenter the marginalized. i like trying to manipulate those povs to show who gets excluded from their own story

Allison Mulder's "If We Live to Be Giants" wrestles with what it's like to live in a household where who you are is not to be spoken of. We suspect some of you might have had a similar experience.
If We Live to Be Giants - Small Wonders
Grandpa measures our heights every day against the hallway markings. Rhiannon and I stand flat as we can, afraid even breathing will subtly lengthen our spines.

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.
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.
