Thanks for posting and for your kind words about my story!

"seven ribbons" by @bethgoder.bsky.social from @apexmag.bsky.social is about sisterhood, rebellion and borders: their power, their arbitrariness, and how the way we think about borders shapes us. Beautiful story and very inportant right now. www.apexbookcompany.com/a/blog/apex-...

💕💕💕

"Please Properly Cage Your Words" by @bethgoder.bsky.social in @diabolicalplots.com rewrote my brain in the best possible way. It’s metatextual, it’s creepy as hell, it never goes the way you think it’s going to go. I absolutely loved it!

A graphic featuring the text: "Seven Ribbons by Beth Goder" next to the illustration on Apex's Issue 149 cover, a queen in a black dress standing beside a black wolf in a field at dusk.

Two sisters tied together by blood, borders, and ribbons. How quickly can their tight-knit bond become a suffocating prison? 🫀🪢
