in the mood/ want/ need for something with a sprig of hope & happiness in it, might I suggest this travelog as poetry chapbook//meditation on some positive formative life experiences of youth//reflection on the good that still lives in a bitter world? :)

kith is genuinely one of the most lovely publishers I've ever worked with - full support from the press as well as yr fellow authors on the roster (made several friends that way :))
also, if you've got some unabashedly trans/queer words you wanna share with the world, kith is a perfect home ^u^

this is a bit of a cheat because reading trans poetry is my actual job but I read, and publish, a lot of trans poetry and have done for years. cost can be prohibitive but a lot of small presses (including ours!) hand eBooks out like candy to any who ask. push comes to shove, we want to be read.

Alright y'all - this starts in less than 24 hours! When we say "protect trans kids", this is a super practical way to do it - helping a trans kid escape the US will change her life. Plus look at all the amazing people joining! Come hang out and consider helping if you can! Reshares are helpful, too!

You procrastinate, and then you write the fucking paper the way the gods and nature intended. Several hours before it's due, high off either caffeine, nicotine, sugar, drugs, and PANIC.
Fuck AI.

I wrote a 15 page report on heraldic symbolism in medieval armor and weapon design for my art history class the night before it was due (8am class). Made up 90% of it (only found one book for reference) and got an A. GenAI could fucking never.

Shane just wants to go home. Stranded in L.A., he must somehow make it back to Georgia. As he hitchhikes his way across America, he encounters transphobia, crooked cops, swindlers, kindly folks, drugs, tragedy, and a high speed chase.

I’m running out of steam trying to promote this. Just got to hack it, much like Shane must hack it as he hitchhikes across America trying to get home. If you are a fan of grit lit, might I make you an offering in this trying time?
