I'm over the moon to share that my story "Belle Epoque" in CR Vol. 6, Issue 1, was given special mention in this year's Pushcart Prize anthology. It's a dream to see my work sharing space with those of so many names I admire and learn from.

Wanna avoid responsibilities while appearing responsible?

Wanna escape your mess of a life while looking like you have it all together?

Wanna stave off people without coming across as rude?

Try reading a book in public! 📖

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

it’s Sunday on bluesky so I am urging everyone to take care of themselves. Take a walk, have a second cup of coffee or tea, read a book, spend some time looking at small poems

When Ted Turner asked Carl Sagan if he was a socialist, Sagan gave the answer America keeps failing to learn.

The neverending spiral of being an artist on social media:

*Have a cool idea*
*See someone else execute cool idea better than you think you can*
*Never attempt cool idea*

Take this as a sign to try the cool idea anyway. Do it out of spite if you must. No one makes art quite like you. 💚
