So much to say about yesterday @saloneurope.bsky.social but above all - it couldn't have happened without our Management Committee.

Not just powerhouses, also standout writers & friends. So grateful 👑

wrote a (long) short story, Sanctuary, about an accidental nanny, and queer desire, and how being paid to take care of someone else's kids can feel like the only way to access a certain kind of family —

and it's out in print in Issue 31 of Quarter After Eight this month!

sorry for their haters but @aniking.bsky.social has done it again ...

3 perfectly red-hot flashes. "Instead, You Raised a Fire" wallops (complimentary!).

i love everything @aniking.bsky.social does but their horsegirl stories are something extra special. the ending of this is WOW.

"I walked her around in circles because in my family we raise horses and when they’re anxious it’s best to keep their feet moving ..."
