Ah, yes! I’ve recommended them to others and somehow wasn’t following them. 🤔

Writer/academic friends - aside from AWP, what conferences are you attending to network, learn, be inspired?

I’ll send a few things tomorrow - sorry for my delay! I really need to hop on Bluesky more often! 😂

I just saw this post and the recommendation Sumitra made for me - are you still looking for art? I'm a collage artist, you can see some of my work on my instagram, @collage_and_coffee, or my website, www.seelauriewrite.com Cheers!

The Repurposed Life | Substack Repurposing isn't just about turning an old sweater into a decorative cushion, we can repurpose our very own selves into something new at any age. It's kind of exciting, pretty scary, and completely d...

Hey, Andrew! Would you have .pdf or do you have any arcs of Ethan Hawke and Me? A friend of mine who is putting together a student-run lit mag would like to review it. (@dogyardmag.com) No pressure or anything - if you’re interested let me know! :)

Made an appointment to say goodbye to my old man cat today. He’s had one thing after another over the last year including recurrent infections in his mouth, can’t make it to the litter box, hobbled by arthritis… but he sleeps well and loves us. Struggling to decide if this is the right thing. 😢

The problem with enjoying a lazy, go-nowhere, sleep late summer is that when the semester kicks off again I’m whining to myself about having to put on clothes and make a lunch every day. Every day!?! 😩😋

Alaska was once a full-fledged Russian colony. Now it's hosting a U.S.-Russia summit Russia lost a war in Crimea in the 1850s. To pay off war debts, Russia sold Alaska to the U.S. Now presidents Trump and Putin will meet Friday in Alaska to discuss another war involving Crimea.

Do better, @bsky.app @support.bsky.team

I asked my mom and grandma once when they felt like they’d reached adulthood—like, when they knew they were adults and settled or whatever. They laughed at me. We’re all winging it. You’re doing great. :)

So happy to have my art used to illustrate such a lovely piece of poetry. Take a look! 👀

When you & Craig read 3-pg challenges you often give a note to strike character info that can’t be directed. Would it be appropriate to include character sketches? Where would they go? Plays often include them, but not sure about screenplays.

That’s wild! How can they tell private citizens how much loan debt they can take on??

Oh dear… 😩

Fellow olds: get yourself some younger friends. Mine are into all the things I love, like gardening, birdwatching, collecting vinyl and shopping at thrift stores, but they also introduce me to queer poets and musicians, and we can discuss where to get tattoos. It’s a massive win-win-win.

😂😂😂

not gonna use this to point out that we were Ralph's first publication. not at all. that'd be tacky. just saying congrats. that's all. congrats!!

The destruction of public radio is truly an existential threat to books and book culture. I can't say it enough.

Port, poet… whatever. 😋

POETS. POET FRIENDS… 😂

Port friends: what lit journals are accepting *translated* poetry? #poetry #poets #litmags

Exactly!!

This from the same people who hammered the former president about being feeble and addle-brained. 🤔

Thanks to @djvorreyer.bsky.social being persistent, I found out I had a piece of collage art accepted by @asteralesjournal.bsky.social after the email went to my junk mail. Haha, whoops! Anyway, yay for my first acceptance of anything at all since 2023! #gradschoollife #howdoyouworkthisthing 🎉
