reading @hazelzorn.bsky.social 's 'reef mind,' for a second time, and i'm struck at how beautiful it is.
it's language is elegant and understated but manages to be both beautiful and furiously ugly, when needed.
it echoes buth diane seuss and rachel carson while still feeling novel and so... now.

With the shutdown, I had forgotten that it's Puerto Rican Heritage Month. Great month to sell a story about Puerto Rico in @typebarmagazine.bsky.social

10 10p titles, all in a row.

2025 so farπŸ”₯ With one more book to come.

This has been our most ambitious, heartburn-y year so far, & only most of it was self-induced.

But no one died. That's key.

If you missed any of these badass titles, well you know they're gonna be Weird. Hail the Tenebrous Cult.
