In 2022, two of my dear friends and I started a mag called @hexliterary.bsky.social. Other new (and newish) mags I love include @cold-signal.com, @ergot.bsky.social, Scaffold, @astrolabe.ooo, @poolpartymag.com, @icebreakerslit.bsky.social :)

I've never written a sonnet before but my crush at AWP had me writing a quadruple one. This poem's really a love poem to poets and also to life-giving temporary crushes. Thank you @publishedbyjake.bsky.social for publishing this one! <3 jakethemag.com/quadruple-so...

Jamming to the truly epic playlist the @icebreakerslit.bsky.social gals and I made for AWP on my long flight, so I offer this gift to you too…if it makes you happy 🎵 open.spotify.com/playlist/5GR...

Because time is ridiculous, somehow it's been exactly one year since this co-writing debut with @salenacasha.bsky.social (and we're still at it, thanks @icebreakerslit.bsky.social, you created a collaborative monster). www.icebreakerslit.com/read/testimony

What a wonderful reminder from my co-writer, @leighloveday.bsky.social ! I can't believe it's only been a year. So grateful that @icebreakerslit.bsky.social brought us together!

"On the west side, roses grow between the modest graves of their mediocre descendants who lost that fortune, slowly but surely. 🌹 That’s where I will be, one day. I hope that ghosts can smell tamales." 🫔 Read 💌 "Hobbies in the Afterlife" @icebreakerslit.bsky.social

TOMORROW 💕🛸

Is that…are we brewing up a new sub call? 👀

OUR VERY OWN @imlaurentheresa.bsky.social will be reading, along with some other incredible writers 🔥!

BOO! IT’S TINY HAUNTINGS TIME!!! 👻 First up, we have a tiny hot tamale for you from @mmkaufman.bsky.social and @tiffmzlee.bsky.social. www.icebreakerslit.com/read/hobbies...

Hi, friends! We haven’t been on Bluesky for a while, but dropping in to say hi. Hold tight for some exciting updates (potentially Halloween-related 👻).

NEW YEAR, NEW ISSUE. We are officially open & ready to read your collaborations! Subs close March 10th. No theme, go wherever the creativity takes you, and we'll follow 🦄 📷 www.icebreakerslit.com/submissions

I have a collabrative poem in this issue of @s2fjournal.bsky.social with my spark, Abigail Hora! I absolutely love this journal and this creative exercise. Thank you so much to editors, Katherine and Natalie! Read the whole issue here!: www.s2fjournal.com/assets/Issue...

My very first flash CNF was published with @pitheadchapel.bsky.social ! I've loved and submitted to them for many years, and I'm so so happy that is the one that stuck! If you like The Spice Girls and the 90s (and me ), I would love it if you'd give it a read 🩷 pitheadchapel.com/this-is-how-...

Did I really tell my class "We only use semi-colons when two complete ideas love each other very, very much" today? Yes, I did. But I wanted to tell them *never* to use them. See? This is GROWTH! I'm mad about it, but I'm GROWING!

Along with Mathew Gostelow, I’ve got a new flash story up on @icebreakerslit.bsky.social for Halloween. Mathew built the place, and I got in there and found its ghosts www.icebreakerslit.com/dull-drops-o...

Quench your Halloween thirst here!!! 👻

😱😱😱

Huge thanks to the editors of @icebreakerslit.bsky.social for the chance to haunt Holly Payne-Strange’s setting today! 🙌🏻👇🏻 www.icebreakerslit.com/racing-the-j...
