New story day! Have a little bite of weird circus fiction to enliven your Monday.
Join the circus with us today, and find some wonderful uncharted places, in "The Fox's Cartographer" by @devzmiller.bsky.social :
The Fox’s Cartographer - Small Wonders
She thought of herself as the Fox by now, and in the quiet moments when she started feeling too old for the circus, too bored, she wanted to become a fox.

Hi friends, I have a poem out in Haven Spec! Did you know there is a poetry form called a sapphic? (I got very excited about writing sapphic sapphics when I learned this.) This poem is a sapphic about witchy crows (also pretty sapphic subject matter tbh).

40. I am such a fan of @devzmiller.bsky.social, and "The Eleventh Resurrection and the Twelfth Life" is a perfect example of why: it opens with a VERY cool concept (resurrections! tattoos!) but is really a story about people, about connection, about love.

As a founding member of the Sapphic Eldritch Forest Ladies, I endorse this terminology.
Use the term “touch grass” to indicate that someone needs to seek out reality, use the term “touch moss” to indicate that they need to seek out ancient forest magic beyond their mortal comprehension.
