Perfection.

We're delighted to announce Sick Power Trip, a new poetry collection by Erik Kennedy ( @erikkennedy.com ), out in July this year. It's his best yet! We are excited. Cover art by @toddatticus.bsky.social

STOP THESE ARE SO CUTE I’M GONNA CRY. I am absolutely buying one for my little baby dragon πŸ₯Ή

Freddie Mercury didn't go into the studio and nail the vocals for "The Show Must Go On" in one take while dying of AIDS for you to despair and give up now. Take the time you need, but then get up and get back out there. The show must go on.

A failure to provide adequate health services is costing us so much more than employing much needed health specialist and support staff. open.substack.com/pub/drbex/p/...

I made this the other night while procrastinating, mainly because I thought all the posts about the blackout were boring. It feels like there is momentum bringing people together!

Who has two thumbs and just wrote 'hip bones heart eyes' in a note-to-self on her work-in-progress? Yeah, it me 😏

Hey, if you're a journalist working on a Valentine's romance novel think piece, I'll talk to ya! If you want to pay me to write one, even better, but beggars and choosers, etc. Anyways, hit me up!

Just found about a new kind of post to scroll where instead of briefly learning 36748585857743 terrible bad things that make your stomach hurt you get to get a whole different new world in your head where people have adventures and do neat stuff idk if anyone knows about this yet it's called novels

Become ungovernable.

Authors, sell your book to me with the laundry list of reasons some bigot will dnf it. Eg. here's one of mine: - homophobia in sport & toxic masculinity are bad - acknowledges the harm of racism - women enjoy food, aren't thin & aren't dieting - swearing - smut (especially the dumplings scene)

Neutral plotter, me. Fuck, that makes me sound dull as dry toast.

Question from a bluesky baby: should I be vetting followers, like on other socials, to avoid amassing scammers and skeez who warp the algorithm (or is there actually none of that nonsense here?)

Me and the three people who read my skeets (really? We're calling these skeets!?)

What are the two most annoying words in the English language and why are they "calm down"?

Please stop telling me that crime must be deterred. Studies have shown over and over again that in the context of criminal law, deterrence theory is a myth. It doesn't work. It never has. That's a copaganda myth. Poverty is the cause of most crime. Eliminate poverty, and you eliminate most crime.

Based on reviews... it's my quirky but believable characters and panty-melting sex scenes. Based on my gut instinct and ego... witty banter and smooth but surprising prose.
