Boys in the yard hold less appeal today after cleaning up after them.
I was thinking more along the lines that sitting down might be awkward. ๐คฃ
Depends how short they are, I suppose.
This isn't a year for shorts for me as I'm writing a novel and awaiting line edits for another.
I miss their immediacy, but it's also cool to take a little break.
Done.
Some indy research that I'll be sharing results of for everyone to see / use! This survey is on short fiction anthologies. You can take it even if you never read them, as there are Qs about that, too. The aim is to help anthologies shine, so please share it!

The block button is your friend.
80K words.
The deadline is June '27.
Indeed. It's like they can't even parse a simple sentence or something.
There's a whole internet out there and your own feed to rant about whatever aspect of life you want. But you're not doing it on mine when I'm expressing a personal sentiment.
End of discussion.
You don't have tea do anything.

I saw his face and now I'm angry too!
Imagine being a cishet man and informing gay men that ppl have done bad things in the name of religion.
This sounds so much more efficient than me, idk, just saying what I want.
The essential thing is to make sure you mostly feature other cishet guys as guests. It's good to get a rounded set of opinions on anything. But also, not to be challenged.
Self-importance is a wonderful thing.
That's the writing for the week done. The rest of the weekend has been set aside for revelry and debauch.
Me: I'm not religious.
