for newbies and veterans alike, this workshop breaks down the nitty gritty of how and why i submit to literary magazines. it's very helpful, according to my students who have received most of this advice already.

used submittable for the first time and it was, in fact, not as intimidating as I was making it in my head.

Boycotting between now and January 1st will hit corporations the hardest. They make most of their money for the year in these last 5 weeks.

So, how little can you spend on the death machine?

Optimist: The cup is half full

Pessimist: The cup is half empty

Daughters : I don’t know how many evenings had my mother scrubbed her heart at the bottom of the cup. I see scratches casting back my face. I think, they are screaming, asking me to run away.
Optimist: The cup is half full

Pessimist: The cup is half empty

Science Fiction Writer: The cup is a crystalline super computer and the liquid is hyperintelligent, they want to know why humanity should be allowed to exist, you have 30 minutes to respond and the answer must be danced by a cat
Optimist: The cup is half full
Pessimist: The cup is half empty

If you want Bluesky to be a viable platform as the internet's new town square, it must be capable of building support for Palestinians during the genocide or it will only ever be a walled garden of denial. Please help Muhammad and Lubna with donations and/or boosts. www.gofundme.com/f/help-muham...

Different platform, same censorship. There is no safe space for Palestinians, neither offline or online.
Why is Bluesky erasing Palestinians from Gaza?
This man’s account is flagged, the image of his face in his profile picture is blurred, and his totally benign posts are all hidden behind content warnings.

Are human beings from Gaza asking for help a threat to this space???
