today in Keep Planning, a strange and lucid little poem from Bay Area conga drummer Jeffrey Zable, about not being who you used to be, and still being around anyways. do give it a read
This collection by @spicycloaca.bsky.social delivers on the gore, the poetry, and perhaps most importantly, a wondrous matrimony of the two unlike anything I’ve ever seen before.

"Sunlight refracted from dozens of glister shells, turning the bedroom molten. Grandpa lay curled into a fetal position on the floor, crying bloody tears. He was gibbering."

"When night came and the floor was acrawl with glisters, Arnie talked to the girl at the bottom of the chute. Between his level and the one below sat a dumbwaiter, inoperable, collecting dust."

Don't forget! It's Leonora Carrington-coded, too!
First and foremost this is a great story about sex work, misogyny, and patriarchy, but it also just has some really fucked up alien sex and guys being absolute freaks.
"Tabula Rasa" by Amy Kitcher is now free to read!
Just finished this book, and it is trippy and intense, and full of earnest self-searching, for what it means to be ready for what you were meant to hold. ✨@ivygrimes.bsky.social
"In the race to outdo one another, to colonize the blank space of the moon for its own sake, to exploit and shape non-human life comes to dominate our worldview, like a false god, we preach both survival and extinction at both ends ..."

If Jesus came back he'd go hambone at costco
happy that my @chmmagazine.bsky.social greasy, grim (sort of) historical whaling story, "Greasy Luck," made the shortlist! congratulations to the other shortlisters - there are so many beautiful stories stacked in this one
I recently learned there’s a concept in clowning that goes like this, “The suffering is the offer.” And, holy hell, what a gorgeous view of art and authenticity.
If anybody wants to make a painting depicting me as Jesus I'm fine with that
Oh damn. Whoa. Thanks to the folks who enjoyed UNCERTAIN SONS AND OTHER STORIES (collection), "Uncertain Sons" (novelette), and "In My Country" (short story). And thanks again to @undertow.bsky.social and @clarkesworldmagazine.com. Congrats to the finalists. An honor to be in your company.
It should be illegal to publish a short story collection that a) doesn’t have the story titles as recto running heads and b) doesn’t include previous publication credits

terrifying thought: The Scary Guy could be around
nothing lasts
This boils down to , if I put phone down to watch movie , & you show me phone , no & fuck you , you fail "the Bubul test"
If the movie has a scene with super-imposed "text message bubbles" , it fails "the Bubul test" . If there's a scene where the "is texting" ellipsis is on screen then disappears , & a character looks sorta disappointed , the movie fails "the Bubul test" and gets turned off immediately
