Not that I'm asking the question for a podcast or anything-- but tell me, what unabashedly femme or feminine or sapphic even soft butch/femme-boyish thing have you always wanted to see in a fantasy setting?

Generally I have a series of prompts and everyone kind of generates poetry and comments on it. We focus on haiku / senryu and other short forms, but it's honestly quite open to anyone who is interested in writing. I'll probably also open it up to critique.

So, I have been running a very ragtag poetry workshop group, and I am considering opening it up to everyone who might be interested in submitting to Prune Juice. Anyone interested?

Just finished Better Call Saul and man I have never rooted so much for or been so heartbroken by a heterosexual couple.

Beautiful. I've always found this one extraordinary. Same book; my translation:

Four Ages

II

I strangled
my brother
because he would not sleep
with the window open.

My sister,
he said before he died,
I have spent entire nights
watching you sleep,
leaning on your reflection in the
glass.

Delighted to have my poem “Straitjacket” as part of Greg Thomas’ beautiful postcard series, paired with Fèlix Delandre’s resonant “chaos.” To order and support this wonderful small press: oo-press.com/postcard-poems

Thank you so much!!!

A grey cup should be old

So should a starling
The sound of a shaminsen played by a priest
The song of a egret in the second month

The biggest thing I learned from the trailer to Christopher Nolan's Odyssey movie is it takes place from the post-stake perspective of the Cyclops because I couldn't see a damn thing.

When Manousos was scrolling through the radio frequencies, one of them had a bunch of noise on it. Also, in one of the stills for the finale, Carol looks like she's handing a phone to Manousos. As well, in the Wycaro chapter, there's an emphasis on caverns-- which can block electromagnetic fields.

My beautiful perfect pulchritudinous girlfriend @ajarhiannavo.bsky.social is featured in a new visual novel game! Really impressive, please check it out!

Welcome to PJ's prompt feature! We invite you to write senryu concerning: #leather (with or without the word in your senryu)

What is senryu? It’s similar to haiku, but centered on humans
