Heyyy sweet friends,

Did you know that there is a monthly Philly Writers Circle happening at Ray’s? Now you do! Swing by to join us and drop a line if you’d like to feature 😘

A broadside paper with the printed Thirty West logo, 6 signatures, an embossed Thirty West colophon, and text denoting the 10 year anniversary party on 11-22-25 at a novel idea

20 limited edition broadsides were printed, embossed, &signed in honor of our 10 year anniversary. Finally got 01/20 framed. It’s gorgeous & unique. You’ll be lucky to possess one.

Are you saying this to a survivor with a straight face, or are you just a soulless coward? Or are you so daft you don’t understand nuance? Your take is hypocrisy come to life.

People with curly hair shouldn’t have to work on very humid days.

My return to Fergie’s on Wednesday at 7. Moonstone’s special prose reading with @anotherintro.bsky.social and 2 cool writers I’ve never met before. It’ll be a good time. Open mic after, too? Hope to see you.

Janel Grant I hope you bleed this fucking company dry.

What amount of *active* virtue must be demonstrated before someone is allowed to say, "stop collective punishment and this manmade famine"?

Accusing people of virtue signaling whenever anyone speaks about the genocide in Gaza is a short way of saying, "I want you to shut up about the atrocities and mass starvation you are witnessing because it makes me uncomfortable."

I still have this poster hanging up in my home, a reminder of the collection of which I am endlessly proud.

Jason constantly and exclusively going after Zach, the only gay man on the show, and threatening a violent confrontation is giving homophobic bully #TheValley

I’ll be dining good today

What’s this guy so happy about?

poem titled: Ribeye

In an effort to actually use social media as a form of connection to other authors and artists, here is a small poem published in Subliminal Surgery about eyeliner as a broken beak used to cut up steak.

Pick up a copy of this book immediately! I had the joy of listening to @avitusbcarle.bsky.social reading from the collection and every piece was amazing.

Maybe the drones are Santa

sesame street isn't supposed to make money. the post office isn't supposed to make money. not everything is supposed to MAKE MONEY

I just have to assume that everyone is incredibly exhausted. I can't sleep but have no energy to get out of bed.

I was on a neighborhood reddit page & a redditor asked advice on how to pay their exorbitantly high rent after an astronomical increase bc they didn't have the money to move (or leave the state bc of their job). The most upvoted suggestion was to sell plasma. No one should have to live like this.

This remains one of my favorite photos. I am extremely lucky to have such enduring friendships and that they are so well documented. A bounty of camera snaps showing that we have always been wonderful wild things.

Make sure to block these accounts; deprive trolls and hateful accounts oxygen and suffocate them outta here.
