Another poem out. An ephemeral romance at the end of the world 🥲

The swallows

I used to have this hang up in my fanfic days that I couldn’t reuse a line/trope from one story to the next because, “I already did it like that” but hitting that same roadblock now in some OG stuff and I’m like…

Sometimes I see my favorite short story authors showering love on each other, and I have nothing to add to the conversation. I just want to go through and "like" all the love. But I feel like an outsider pressing my face against the glass, enjoying the warmth inside but not quite part of it.

Yes! If they love, let them love in epic verse. If they fall apart, let them unravel in a lament that could crack the sky. Let their souls collide and let it be glorious and messy. I refuse to be shackled by the confines of "He leaned in. He kissed them. They kissed back." (Hemingway can bite me.)

I really enjoy how Beneath Ceaseless Skies allows for comments. Everyone is so perfectly polite and pristine in their words, which is a drastic change from my go-to approach of throwing out feral love classic-Ao3 style.

Work week slayed me. Brain this weekend is one giant apple fritter. Deep-fried and glazed over.

“If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing.” A classic quote from Malcolm X, who was assassinated 60 years ago today.

I might be the only sci-fi fan in existence who never got into Star Wars. Rogue One was good, though. It worked because it ditched a lot of the typical Star Wars baggage and told a more grounded, self-contained war story.

Low-key obsessed with the Roman Empire. The decadence, the influence, the lasting imprint even after its fall. So when "Numismatic Archetypes in the Year of Five Regents" dropped in Clarkesworld, it blew my mind. An incredible 3.5K read. Give it a shot. clarkesworldmagazine.com/hall_02_25/

Love this column by Leah Thomas. Showcases how Mushishi’s quiet, wandering storytelling feels timeless, even as the world changes. One of my all-time favorite animes.

I've waited almost half my life for this opportunity. Not even exaggerating. Can't believe it's finally happening! Bless Kodansha. 🙏

🎉I've been waiting to scream about this one! 🙌 Thrilled to be working with Harlequin again on THE MISEDUCATION OF CAROLINE BINGLEY, a My Fair Lady-esque plot wherein the heroine decides she will Become Nice & recruits a reluctant Georgiana to help her change/grow (with predictably farcical results)

Oh, to be powered by impulse, caffeine, and the questionable decisions that led you to order Taco Bell at midnight. There is no plan. There is only forward.

Thank you so much to the lovely @indicreates.bsky.social for allowing to me share their commissioned work here! (Such a joy to work with, too!) Last year I read this book, "Before We Disappear" by Shaun David Hutchinson and this book BLEW MY MIND, Y'ALL. Best historical fantasy I've ever read.

I enjoy having a “real person” account now, but it also means keeping myself on my best behavior—holding back on sharing the darker, more squick-worthy fics and art, and resisting the urge to argue with the ridiculous. Thankfully, I still (and will always have) my fandom account for that! XD
