It's been a big week for us here, 6 learned to swim and is about to lose her first tooth, so that means deal time.

One of those "stock cube" poems that you wrote earlier but hope you can add tomatoes to make it work.

So for #betweenthesheets in #poemsabout hope it does. This particular Friday is a moonhowler and I'm flat out. I'll be back to comment later! @alanparry83.bsky.social @brokenspinearts.bsky.social

It’s a small thing in the scheme of things, but the 1 issue of my magazine that published after the election has sold fewer copies & had fewer (free) downloads than any of our previous issues & our current sub window has been the quietest yet by a lot.
