So thrilled to have this flash up at BULL LIT today!

You too!

So excited to have a story on this list!

So happy to have my tenderhearted optimistic paddling their way through the flood!

My @natflashfictionday.bsky.social story has been posted! flashfloodjournal.blogspot.com/2025/06/tend...

And procrastination paid off! I will have a story as part of the Flash Flood this year! Woo hoo!

Fellow procrastinators: today's the last day to get your flashes in to be part of the flood! I, of course, waited until today to submit mine.

As a writer, I feel like I did something right when an acceptance comes in that starts with some profanity. Yes, that was exactly the reaction I wanted to my story.

I once wrote an Easter story, and it got published the same day I was in the hospital having surgery for the second time in five days while we were all in quarantine. I'll always have a soft spot for this story. necessaryfiction.com/stories/dian...?

I've been using @libro.fm for a couple of years now and they are fantastic!

Me too!

You too? Yay!

Yay! Glad to know at least one familiar face will be there! :)

I woke up to find my invitation this morning and I had completely forgotten I'd signed up. It was a beautiful gift from past me! Can't wait to get started!

Tyranny requires your fear, your silence, and your compliance.

Democracy requires your courage.

I really wasn't ready for all the feels yet this morning, but @sagetyrtle.com made me feel them anyway and now I think everyone else needs to read this story too.

I've gone in to use their bathroom, but didn't buy anything. When was the last time anyone was able to go in a Target and not spend money?

I need song suggestions for my "Surviving the Dystopia" playlist. Who are you all listening to that's keeping you sane/motivated?

I stand with the trans community. Pass it along.

Fantastic piece of writing by @francesgapper.bsky.social!

Thank you for reading!

If you're looking for a little "down with the patriarchy" flash fiction, I've got what you need.

This is such a heartbreaker of a story!

Channeling my inner tardigrade this year, so this is my first attempt at designing my own embroidery project.

Enjoy my feral princesses! Thanks @trampset.bsky.social for giving them and their briar a home!

48 hours until our 1st issue of 2025 drops.

I just made a donation to PBS, I get Passport for a whole year, and Amazon didn't make a dime off of me. So I'll just keep doing that.
