We're just making this shit up as we go, honestly.

Pretty poets send Pink Poetry Club pretty poems alliterates better than Anti fash #midwestern #queer #poets send us anti fash queer midwestern poems But both are correct! 😘 Send us them #queer & #trans #poems. Sub link in the bio! 💗✍️♣️

Hey babes! It's March, still living in this fascist hellscape. If you have poems about survival and hope in a very racist, -phobic, Midwest rn we want them for issue two. 💗✍️♣️ Link to submit in the bio #poetry #lgbtq #midwest #queer #trans

One of our ANMLY comrades told me they can't continue reading because they lost their housing. If the work at ANMLY has ever meant anything to you, or if the work that I have ever done in any capacity has ever meant anything to you, please consider helping them stay safe. gofund.me/0e09177d

Hey, cuties! We want to do a second issue! Send us your small-but-mighty poems! 😘 #MillennialExclamationsAndEmojis Sub link in the bio 💗✍️♣️ #poetry #poems #midwest #lgbtqia #queer #trans #nonbinary #poet

Poetry saves our (debatable) souls but healthcare saves lives (not debatable). Please take action to save lives here in our current hellscape.

My little contribution to @thepinkpoetryclub.bsky.social. Social posting is something I feel is sorely needed right now. It’s exciting to see a venue pop up that brings writers together in a way they can easily uplift each other. Ways that aren’t tied to traditional expectations of publication.

🥁please! It's here! It's H O T T O G O! It's... our very first bsky issue of 💗Pink Poetry Club!🌈🏳️‍⚧️ We're pleased as punch to share with you poems by L.N. Quinn, Kat Wright, Mars Mittelstadt, Jurion, Shelton Boatman, Grey A. Brennon, and Chris Corlew.

Oooh my friends, I'm sending out some long overdue acceptance letters! 😍 I can't wait for y'all to see these beautiful words we're reading!

I’m donating $1000 and I’d love it if someone could match me 📚💙 Moira is a beautiful writer and member of our community in the South. I’ll send you a signed copy of Larks and What Pecan Light. 📚 ✨

Hey there, LGBTQ Midwesterners. It's a pretty scary time to live in the Midwest, especially if you're in a red state (like me). We have to help each other right now, bc we know our gov'mnt sure as shit ain't. Drop mutual aid & ed links below. I'm in MO, so sharing what I know, too.

EIC here- I want to thank all you gorgeous poets out there for waiting so patiently for a response from us. I've been sick since October (yikes!) Stephanie & I are working on the backlog. You should hear from us very soon! We can't wait to publish your poems! 🌈🏳️‍⚧️✨

Point of delicious clarification: we give priority to Midwestern LGBTQIA voices. However, non-Midwestern and/or cishetero voices are also welcome!

Send us poems, you queer Midwesterners! 😍 #poetry #poets #lgbtq #trans #nonbinary #Midwestern #queer

Let our EIC Influence™️ you 💕

‪🏳️‍⚧️🌈A post for all of our new followers🏳️‍⚧️🌈 Hello! This is a brand new smol online lit zine publishing on Bsky! We are here for the rainbow Midwestern poets- the flyover state poets, the cheese poets, the givers & the takers. We hope you enjoy & we hope to read your gorgeous words 🫶

Friends! We still have space for 3 more poems in our inaugural issue! 💗✍️♣️ Submit some beautiful #lgbtqia+ #midwestern #poetry to us, pweese? We are thirsty. Do the kids still say that? Or is it cringe. Oh well, we're cringe for sincerity and poetry, always & forever. 🏳️‍⚧️Link to submit in the bio!🌈

(That's 10 am Central for us Midwesterner, if I got the timeywimeys right)

Friends, PPC was initially envisioned as an IG project, but we have decided to make it an exclusive bsky project. Let us know if you have any questions!

Happy snow day for some of the Midwest! Thanks to technology, we're out here working remote instead of playing in the snow and eating potato bacon soup. You gorgeous poets should send us some poems between emails <3 💗✍️♣️ 🏳️‍⚧️🌈 #Midwest #poetry #poets #queer #trans #lgbtqia+

The hardest part about doing a lil IG+Bsky lit journal so far, is when we get absolutely gorgeous works that just won't fit into the format. If you got a rejection bc of that, just know, I got into canva and TRIED for whole mornings/afternoons to make it work before I sent out that rejection. 💔

Gorgeous poets, what music are you feeding your soul today? The awkward EIC is listening to RM and *gasp* Our Lady Chappell of Roan (while writing skeets in third person), and reading your gorgeous words. (subs always open, link in bio)

We are reading these submissions and dang, y'all really are bringing it! 2025 is going to be a good year for poetry 😍 There will definitely be some acceptance emails coming out in the next 7 days or so! Thank you for trusting us with your words, you gorgeous creatures.
