Looking for a story about a fan of the National Treasure franchise who is married to an egg well I’ve got you babe variantlit.com/clutch/

So happy to be in this amazing issue! Thank you to the wonderful editors @variantlit.bsky.social 💞

Today. #3E #EndImpunity #EndOligarchy #Autogenocide

Clear the decks! Cancel your plans!

@variantlit.bsky.social Issue 20 coming soon to a screen near you! It’s a prose buffet for all appetites, from snack-sized to substantial: micros, flash, and short fiction from @jmcm.bsky.social @pahoehoe.bsky.social @bsherm36.bsky.social @stephiosaurus.bsky.social @sfreligh.bsky.social & more!

Former acting Labor Secretary Julie Su is right: Elon Musk is making DOGE’s cuts to essential programs so that he and his billionaire buddies can give themselves a tax break and become even richer. This is government that works for billionaires, not working people.

Imagine if the media pointed out there was already a Government Accountability Office whose job it is to go after actual waste and fraud, not just things Elon doesn’t like, and found $70 Billion in savings last year and $2 Trillion in waste since 2003. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Governm...

When the Nazis took power and gutted the Weimar era civil service in government, they also claimed the need to increase efficiency and to ensure loyalty to the nazi party. They did it through the law for the restoration of the professional civil service. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Law_for...

if only actual scientists had already studied the safety and efficacy of these medications for decades

"Our party must act swiftly. There’s no time for hesitation. Or delay. Or dawdling. Or dragging our feet. Or indecision. Or dilly-dallying. Or stalling. Or hemming and hawing. Or equivocation. Or grandstanding. Or mincing words. Or slow-walking. Or procrastinating."

of course my favorite poem about the Super Bowl is actually about mortality and the absurdity of being alive

As long as we keep going. I’ll keep naming dinguses. lyz.substack.com/p/whiny-whip...

"Look, I’ve got nothing against Queequeg. He’s a nice guy. And he can spy a whale spout in a hurricane. And swim like a dolphin. But all those 'biggee' tattoos? Tell me they don’t scream 'diversity hire.'"

"Have your trusted media pundits ask how anyone could even for a moment think the rich man would do this intentionally, knowing as he does full well the long and tragic history of the gesture. 'Did you know the rich man visited Auschwitz last year? He can't be a fascist!'"

I’m sick of these quotidian questions like “what do you want for dinner?” and not deeper queries like “can a woman, herself, become a dumpling?”

1. Did you know that Girl Scouts has, for a long time, accepted trans girls and nonbinary scouts? Trans kids are under attack. Every year, I make a thread of trans and nonbinary girl scouts you can get your cookies from. Lets get our cookies from them this year in solidarity!

there are cathedrals everywhere for those with the eyes to see

I just swatted a moth to death on my copy of Mary Oliver’s A Poetry Handbook please take me to writer jail immediately.

For my first post here I would like to tell you about the banana incident of my freshman year of college, approx. 100 years ago. This will take several posts though. At the beginning of college, I was still dating my high school boyfriend, so that was my first problem.
