"-i wonder if it beats the alternative, but then, no-it can't possibly. i want the world. i want the void. i want it all." Congrats, nat! This is amazing work 🎈

I remember when I worked in the ‘industry” and I’m still a little romantic about that time in my life. “Drinks” by @gr8earlofhell.bsky.social nat raum is such a great read, you’ll wanna catch it right now! www.roifaineantpress.com/post/drinks-...

won a rad contest with a piece i've been trying to place forever, give it a look? www.gardenpartycollective.com/contest-3-ne...

did i post this here yet? i'm proud of it www.behemothmagazine.com/issue1/nonfi...

one of my messy queer restaurant stories made its way into this issue of @rfpress.bsky.social www.roifaineantpress.com/post/drinks-...

i wrote something else about hanging out in a dive bar. i know you are all shocked.

my gender is referring to myself in the third person as "ya boi"

i want the bar on my corner to find their chill

If you are a cis person *please* take 2 minutes to do this. Trans people with non-updated gender markers, historical gender marker changes, and X markers are terrified to travel right now; rolling back this policy would mean a lot.

started a poem called "bad signs" and two of them are just "listening to taro by alt-j on repeat" and "listening to pre-hiatus fall out boy on repeat"

"the boys hurled casual ableism on the four-square court, but i have always been a little insane too. everyone who made an effort to understand me is either queer or dead now." Contributor @gr8earlofhell.bsky.social published a nonfiction flash in Jake the Magazine: https://buff.ly/4hXmPzE

we didn't gave dave bayley enough credit for "buy a few ball gags, they're on 3 for 2"

stop submitting to this storefront pretending to be a literary magazine!!

Once again: hell yeah, Maryland. Show em how it’s done! @govwesmoore.bsky.social

adding ploughshares to my bio is not on my list of aspirations tbh

love so much when NEA is like "actually fascist country is great"

*holding my new puffco like it's a tiny trophy* and i'd like to thank god for this

been thinking a lot about speech and silence, writing as an act of the will, as one tiny piece in the large fabric of resistance...anyway, here's "The morning after we cried watching Brokeback Mountain," a flash about transmasculinity and running to the mountains: fifthwheelpress.com/blogarchive/...
