New poem! "The Mighty Impervious Woman Considers Retirement" by Izzy Wasserstein! buff.ly/8i2dAce

I am so tired of headaches first thing in the morning.

Today’s #lunchbagdoodle is a tote bag and her poet at the @awpwriter.org conference.

Carcinogenesis was part of context of that Audre Lorde quote on self-care that some like to cite.

She framed it as a war with the battle fought in her body.

"Over 56% of people living within 3 km of carcinogenic sites are people of color, experiencing over double the cancer risk in some areas."

The cover of the poetry book Neurocabin. You are in an industrial studio. The studio is dark and cold with heavy shadows, but also clean and promising. The studio has cement walls and a high ceiling with thick painted piping. You are facing the corner. In the corner stands a tall sculpture made from invasive bittersweet vines. The curvy, woody vines have been woven into an expanding, outreaching pillar. Charlie Baker of Baker Workshop (NY) made the sculpture and took the photo. He has generously allowed us to use the image. Two-thirds of the way down the cover is a dark, semi-opaque rectangle pushed against the right margin. In the rectangle in a bold sans-serif font is typed the poetry book's title, Neurocabin, and centered below it, the author's name, Brett Stuckel.

Neurocabin (Spuyten Duyvil, Dec. 2025) is my debut poetry collection. I used the words I could remember and had to make a few up. It's on Bookshop-dot-org and other sites along with some blurbs: bookshop.org/p/books/neur...

Three in four women unaware menopause can trigger new mental illness, poll finds Royal College of Psychiatrists says impact on mental health often overlooked and calls for improvements in care Nearly three-quarters of UK women do not know menopause can trigger a new mental illness, polling shows. This lack of understanding is so acute that the Royal College of Psychiatrists has launched its first targeted “position statement” to raise awareness about menopause and mental health.

ICYMI. Honored to have this beautiful, beautiful review of my book up at Strange Horizons, by @stephenrcase.bsky.social

The best part of my day so far has been when I opened up the patio door, despite the cold, and stood there with my coffee, listening to bird calls and a far-off woodpecker.

How awful. I’m so sorry, Wendy.

Imperial powers are all bad.

I was just reminded this morning that my poem, “age of villains,” is eligible for the Nebula Award this year! If you’re a member of SFWA please consider nominating it. TODAY is the last day to nominate. Thank you for your consideration!

“How many of these gentle people have I helped to kill just by paying my taxes?" June Jordan, 1984

ICE is all over TN right now, kidnapping people off roads and construction sites. Nashville's seen the most visible pushback from citizens, but it's getting essentially zero media play. Johnson City has seen a surge in the past two weeks. Today it looks like they're pushing in Chatanooga.

Bravo, David! 🥳

Get your brackets in, y'all!

I'll be reading a series of flash pieces, including my dark feminist revenge tale, "A Girl Goes on a Date Alone at Night."

I can’t listen to the SOTU address because I lose IQ points just listening to that odious little man and this cold has already turned my brain to cotton.

Reposting so I remember to attend despite this brain-stealing cold.

I love “Ugh, My Memorial” by Grey Traynor in the latest Beestung. Such a great voice, the narrator so wonderfully alive despite being “glorified mist”. beestungmag.com/issue26/one-...

Albert Rosenfield: "Great. After the square dance, maybe we can all take a hayride."

Log Lady: "One day, the sadness will end."

[Question: "What do you fear most in the world?"] Major Briggs: "The possibility that love is not enough."

Audrey Horne: "God, I love this music."

Happy Twin Peaks day!

(Featuring four of my favorite characters, although I'm very fond of many)

Outstanding! I’m so glad you’re getting support and we’re getting a novella from you!

It's a national holiday

I’m tired of having to know things.

My new story "A Body, A Commodity" reimagines the folktale about The Woman with the Golden Arm from a disabled perspective... with a vengeful little twist at the end. ⚡️

This is one of the pieces in my dissertation collection of queer and disabled retellings.
