if bpd could talk by nat raum - manywor(l)ds :: place hello there, victim of the boundless urge to pull some cursed, dumb-bitch shit—

Acid rain is an uncut song that emeralds our matte metropolis, slippery with dirt and chlorophyll, a bright black spot on God’s sweaty palm. I can’t write music, says my other dog, before vomiting carrot greens on the hand-me-down rug. Certainty is a Happy Meal toy in a landfill, proudly assembled in the factory employing all the folks in town. If you’re here, and I’m here, who is going to feed and water the dogstar? It has gone quiet with pain, but its one remaining eye can still see faraway shapes.

Zoe Korte's flash pr/oem is evocative & nostalgic & deeply sensory. We love it. Find Zoe at @sundresspub.bsky.social, and their work in @newwordspress.bsky.social, @enbylife.bsky.social, @maudlinhouse.bsky.social, and more.

Collage art with a poem featuring images from the “Innovations in Health Equity Incubator,” text about horrific conditions at Rikers in the 70s and a contemporary jail break, the Biodefense Commercialization Fund, and a paper about “control-averse behavior.” Poem reads: neuroscience must reckon with the antipsychiatry movement the important thing is that the more measurements we take, the better we can tell if your numbers are good or bad! right now it’s seeming like your numbers might be abnormal, so we’re designing a program of study to make sure every aspect of your biology aligns with the average for your sex/race/class/neurotype. We’re going to pull out all the stops. We are scrutinizing every aspect and we can confidently say that you’re almost certainly wrong, on an intrinsic biological level. We are making an obscene amount of money doing this and we’re opening a new center.

endwell has also been featured in @beestung.bsky.social. Their novel, OLYOKE, is forthcoming with @tenebrouspress.bsky.social!

Mama by Mac Wilder - I develop a half-serious theory to explain our years of difficult interactions: Maybe a butch mama usually raises a femme daughter, but then they can’t be buddies. Nor can they flirt, especially if…

“...my parents spent kindergarten through twelfth grade in the same tiny private school in rural South Carolina, this latest brainchild of segregationists built around the time of their births.”
