Oh, this is definitely gonna be a double coffee day.

So they were a gaba-ghoul?

That's why it's so carefully positioned as "parent's rights" and not "children's rights." Still gives ostensible cover for the "won't someone please think of the children" argument, but wouldn't want anyone to forget who should have all the power in the relationship. 🙃

Same! Good luck! 💕

Sincerely: miss me with that shit.

Right there with ya!

Having the kind of day where I need a nap and four cups of coffee just to get myself to functional. 🥴

The absolutely best bit of my poetry adventures is not when I receive an acceptance from a top mag (which is also ace!). It's when I get a message from a reader of my books, telling me my poems have connected with them. That's unbeatable.

Lateral ableism and internalized ableism are very real.

Blatantly ignoring submission guidelines gets you an auto-decline.

Outright stating that you're sending submissions outside of our reading period as if you're The Exception is not the move.

And calling me "Aubrey" instead of "Audrey" because "B suits [me] better" gets you blocked everywhere.

The Modern Witch Tarot Deck. I love the art. And it's gender-inclusive!

I'm at the point of summer in academia where I check one thing off of my to-do list and five more tasks spring up like I'm taking on an especially vigorous hydra.

This is a PSA for anyone who follows artists: Your comments are NOT annoying! I think I speak for many of us we are starved for praise on our work so please if you have something to say lay it on thick WE LIKE IT. I promise you it is not seen as cringe or a bother, we love the interaction!

Currently listening to birdsong while researching another short story inspired by a mix of folklore and history.

Omg, you too?!

In anticipation of impending heat wave messiness, I went out to water the plants, fill the birdbath, and fill the birdseed tonight instead of waiting til morning.

We have SO MANY busy spiders working out there! 😁

Today my browser asked if I wanted to make things easier with AI.
Stop wasting my time: I know how to read, write, and research.
All these kids: losing the opportunity to build these skills bc of the relentless desire for profit. Gross.

Post the least flattering photo you have of your pet.

We're looking at something similar in Illinois around the middle of the week. 🥵
