Instead of hate reading some nonsense essay about gender by some very hateable fella, you could read my book full of essays that are also about gender, and labour, and death, and addiction, and music, but in a much more curious and much more fun way

Live más not bomb más

magazines that say: Taco Bell Quarterly: The World's most prestigious literary magazine. as seen in the library of congress. image of a bell among flames, featuring poem in the shape of the poet beating henry kissinger to death with their bare hands, hobbling towards living más: detangling crip identity and labor, she was fine two weeks before, and four endings to a grindr romance. March 2026 special issue

my babies are hot off the press. I designed this mag with a loving eye. If you're at AWP next week come snag your copy. For $5 it's cheaper than Taco Bell

Reminder that ANYBODY can nominate a work for the Le Guin Prize.

Not only can you nominate your favorite books of last year. You SHOULD.

Friendly reminder I got laid off recently & want the bookstore to be my main job alongside Amanda. Spent the last week brainstorming how to make it happen.

Some cool things you could do to help:
-Buy books at @eveninghouse.bsky.social, in-person or online
-buy Boxcutters or Feast
-hype either

Silk and Foxglove anthology, a BIPOC erotic eco-horror anthology, with a collaged artwork of a red circle, a dragonfly, and a sensual rear end!

Due to the sudden closure of the small press publishing our anthology, we're looking for a new home!

"Silk and Foxglove" is a BIPOC anthology of 13 stories of erotic-eco-horror! It's weird, gorgeous, evocative, & unnerving as hell!

Please boost! If any small presses are interested, let me know!
