Made myself sad thinking about Laika and decided to make others sad, too. New flash out with the wonderful @jmwwjournal.bsky.social!
Flash Fiction: Laika by Sydney Koeplin

Zelensky on Venezuela:
“About Venezuela? How should I respond to that? Well, what can I say? If… If it is possible to act with dictators like this, it means the United States knows what to do next. Thank you”
Omg I love it.

I got my first journal acceptance on Christmas day last year. Since then, I've sent out roughly 110 submissions. ~25 are still pending, 10 have been accepted, and 73 have been rejected. Being an artist is actually wonderful, despite the mania of publishing.

In the same way, repeating the same things over and over
For love to continue and be gradually different.
