This statement about the transphobic Supreme Court ruling by the UK's Crab Museum (yes a museum about crabs) is better than 99% of the statements I've seen on the topic

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

My lover and I read poetry to each other on roadtrips and Jane Wong's How Not To Be Afraid of Everything is a gorgeous car companion.

I guess there's one perk of #AWP25 being in LA

Prompt idea: Personify the worst thing you can think of and write a scene in which it crawls into bed with you.

Inspired by Raul Palma at #AWP25
(for his character, it's debt)

Next Thursday I'll be at Red Emma's Bookstore Coffeehouse talking with Vivian Blaxell about her very cool book WORTHY OF THE EVENT, now available from @littlepuss.net

Get your copy today, and then come out to celebrate effervescent trans literature!!!

poetry is about crossing eras
cede cognitive control: transcending or transgression

Takeaways from Disaster Gays & Messy Femmes:

1) Have your characters make decisions you're afraid to make - @nicanstett.bsky.social

2) If someone thinks your character is unlikeable, it says more about them than your character - @riggstah.bsky.social

"I like meta. I like writing that shows itself for what it is." -- @anandalima.bsky.social at #AWP

Me too! Totally guilty of using parentheticals, foot notes, and "breaking the fourth wall" in my fiction. We all know that this is, why try to pretend otherwise?

Hello LA but really can't wait for next year #AWP
