Bleed out into a pad of finely woven sheep’s wool for the 3rd time in 45 days, after 60 days of not bleeding never knowing I will feel more animalistic each time Like the lamb, I have no say in this sacrifice soaking into the sheep’s wool, I relax my less human body exchanging my life blood is a comfort and a sorrow energy flows both ways: in and out, then all out I rinse my blood away in earth cold water like every woman who ever stood in a rainstorm fed stream in a bubbling brook, washing anything For all of eternity, washing away my youth the stain of womanhood. I am an imperfect circle just like everything else that is wild

This Halloween, we’re reclaiming the “monster." Who gets called monstrous, and why?
Draw or write your own creature, one that reveals the truth about survival, adaptation, and power.
Our FLINTA* bodies were never the horror story.
#FLINTA #LitMag #Prompt #Halloween
The final two brilliant Vol.6 pieces explore what it means to survive inside a FLINTA* body: to ache, to endure, and find tenderness in between it all.

This week's creative prompt: Redraw the Human Anatomy Chart. 🫀
Add the details they didn’t include: the euphoric hormone patch, the nerve that flares up, the scar that embodies strength.
Make it queer. Make it FLINTA*. Make it real!

FLINTA* healthcare doesn’t have to be abstract. Through our Vol.6 contributors, it’s lived and real through the lenses of stigma, love, and the body’s persistence.

We want to take a moment to reaffirm our values and make our stance clear. In light of ongoing attacks on DEI, we’re using this space to say: we’re not backing down.
Anodyne exists to provide a safe, cathartic space for FLINTA* creators. We’ve also included resources and ways to support each other.
Got something spooky to write? These publishers want it. 🎃 open.substack.com/pub/anodynem...

ANODYNE means many things, but never just one. 📖🩵
Traditionally: to soothe, to numb, to be “harmless.”
Our "anodyne" is LOUD, bright, unapologetic. We are a literary magazine for FLINTA* health, creativity, and resistance. 🌟
