Punctuation, punctuation, punctuation, punctuation, estrangement. - S. Brook Corfman, “My Daily Actions, or Meteorites”

There is a value to writing traumatic experiences right away, to catch that intensity and rawness... However, for this project, time and space allowed me to zoom out and see that what happened to us was not an isolated incident... ~ @amiesouzareilly.bsky.social brevity.wordpress.com/2025/06/13/l...

how it feels to feel anything

“Nobody should have to reverse-cowgirl her way through life…” Oh, I love this gem by @writesloud.bsky.social in @wigleaf.bsky.social. 🔥

The local werewolf had developed a taste for the villagers. Though I disagreed with his methods of slaughter, I decided to feed the beast my own blood to see what would happen…

I hate the approach of “I hate AI, but I wanted to see what would happen if I let it write…” It’s like “I hate littering, but wanted to see what would happen if I started throwing plastic on to the beach.” TRASH IS TRASH!

I love fledgling season cuz every bird walks around all AHHHHHHHHHHHH with its mouth gaping open

Grateful to @pleiadesmag.bsky.social for publishing this love poem and its deranged title — dream journal to have work in.
