A doozy of a reported opinion piece by @crampell.bsky.social: when a childcare in WI lost its (modest!) government funding, the effects cascaded to working parents and then THEIR employers www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...
Opinion | A child-care center lost its funding. Here’s what happened next.
When one Wisconsin daycare lost its funding, the effects cascaded to a working parent with kids there and to her employer, too.

My short story collection, The Disappeared, has been out in the world 6 months as of today, and I just wanted to express my gratitude to everyone who bought a copy or took the time read it, or talk to me about it, or write to me about it. I’m very grateful for the kindness and support.

Thrilled to have a micro up at @cincinnatireview.bsky.social. I hope you can take a minute to read/listen to it.
I wrote Apocalypse at a @bendinggenres.bsky.social retreat, inspired by an abstract art card from the deck "Prose Scintilla" (Michael Todd Cohen). I interpreted the image as a mermaid.

"The mermaid's brain floats in a sac near her head. Stegosaurus plates rise along her spine as if she is history." -- in this week's miCRo, @lisaalletson.bsky.social takes us to a haunted place where words disappear.
miCRo: "Apocalypse" by Lisa Alletson
Lisa Alletson's "Apocalypse" is perfect both for the spooky season and for the anxious writer in all seasons.

Such an original piece from @claudiamonpere.bsky.social in @bendinggenres.bsky.social : "The complex phobias knew they were superior. They conquered adults, not mere children. They were difficult to treat. They fucked up big chunks of people’s lives"
