Congrats on the HM πŸ’— agreed though, I loved your piece and really wanted to see it go far. Hate how unlucky you got with the seeding! The whole thing just dripped with incredible prose, I really hope you're able to find a home for it β€” a beautifully written piece with a beautiful message πŸ’•

Breaks my heart how modern hyper-vigilance has led to a cultural shift towards casual cruelty as a means of self-protection. Trying to talk about it leads to commentary about how no one owes each other anything.

Although this also means that Basic Kindness is Punk✨

Happy to be Punk AF these daysπŸ’—

3rd in my group for NYC Midnight's Rhyming Story challenge! I had a few clunky rhymes in there that I was worried about, very relieved that the piece was strong enough for the judges to overlook those parts. Onward to Round 2!

I have no idea what his actual editing process looks like but it was a weirdly helpful insight all the same.

What immediately struck me was how quickly and effortlessly he was willing to make large cuts, massacring multiple paragraphs of darlings without hesitation. As I reread, it suddenly clicked that this was how he managed to keep his writing so energetic

Dreamt I found a device that could fast-travel the holder to whatever coordinates they selected on a map. Ended up speeding off to Nashville, TN over the course of a few blurry, confusing minutes. Met @jasonkpargin.bsky.social, got to Beta read for him πŸ‘€

Love love love Lois Duncan πŸ’— she's absolutely one of my biggest writing inspirations. This one in particular was so unsettling, an excellent dive into art theft and capitalist exploitation
