An angled view of embroidered bushes and paths going through them leading to an orchard, allotment and fields.

'A simple (perfect) life' - my spring landscape is finally finished! An apple orchard in bloom, old railway, sheep with their lambs and an allotment being prepared for growing :) Zoom in to see all the other tiny details too... I think this might be my favourite aerial embroidery I've ever done!

people who collect zines, how do you store/display them? i’ve used shoeboxes for years while in a rental but this just can’t be the best way.

Publishers Marketplace Deal Report dated 22 January 2026 that reads: "Author of SOUR CHERRY Natalia Theodoridou's ANNA DREAMS OF A DEAD REVOLUTIONARY, about a filmmaker attempting to memorialize his time as a transgender political rebel in 1960s Greece, cycling between screenplay, recollection, and present-day curation of letters and historical documents, pitched as a puzzle-box story of loyalty, memory, revolution, and the ghosts that haunt a nation, to Masie Cochran at Tin House Books, for publication in 2028, by Danya Kukafka at Trellis Literary Management (NA)."

📣 New novel announcement:
ANNA DREAMS OF A DEAD REVOLUTIONARY is coming from @tinhouse.bsky.social in 2028. When people ask what it's about, I say it's like SOUR CHERRY, except the haunted house is Greece, and Bluebeard is fascism. 🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈✊

Keep writing your queer, trans, antifascist books, friends.

i never remember to use bluesky when i’m scrolling twitter (and vice versa) but i really want to rebuild my writing/publishing community here since that app is bullshittier now than ever. hi 👋

I'm not gonna crack

"As a doctor, I am confused why these two cancer cells are not attacking each other. I really had expected one of them to start protecting your liver by now."

Also a category that includes his mother, paternal grandparents, and two of his three wives. But of course that's different, because neither he nor de facto President Miller actually care about immigration as such. They care about racism, and it's a farce to concede the pretense it's anything else.

while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

incredible timing that my @havehashad.com piece about soulmates came out while i’m in Georgia for a friend’s wedding. www.havehashad.com/hadposts/due...

A group of four diverse friends smiling and posing together outside, with bright sunlight illuminating their joyful expressions. One person has curly hair, another has long straight hair, the third has short hair, and the fourth has braided hair. They are dressed casually, and there are trees and blue sky in the background.

something real special today from Skye Sisk!!

Books have always mattered. Only the imagination can challenge the fatalist mindset of capitalist realism. Only the impossible has the power to battle what power wants us to accept as the given. (I’m probably not making sense but yes books matter so much and always)

a game can be structurally risky (and if you doubt that, imagine my new larp "lets stab each other for real with knives") but this can be ok as lomg as everyone can consent and they have the tools they need to navigate that risk

absolutely the best thing in a recipe is when it tries to tell you do so some extra two steps in, like, cutting kernels from the cob. like...homie. no. your special multi-step kernel removing process goes down to the grave with you

did you finish Dhalgren?? i read all of the Return to Nevèrÿon series over the summer and it completely changed the way i think about fantasy

daily meditation practice. do this, then do whatever, but do this first
1. Place finger on blue widget [post opens]
2. say aloud: “…I don’t think I actually have anything to say”
3. close post window

bath & body works? good for you my flexing pal. one for two on a good day over here

A mutual just DMed me six pictures of the inside of my mouth and deactivated their account. All power to my house just went out suddenly or I would say more. Gotta save juice.

all of us, at the same time

on the one hand language follows usage and policing it is futile and on the other hand I believe this p strongly & have a similar schtick about calling one’s work “content”

The main thing I learned is that in order to write a book, you have to write a book and there's nothing that's going to prepare you for writing a book until you write a book so you should write a book

To expand a bit:

There's a whole culture of noise around writing - cover reveals, giveaways, courting bookstagrammers, launches, awards lists, promo art - and none of it moves the needle more than a fraction.

You know who gets attention?

People who are already successful.

Just write.
