I never expect them, so they always surprise me

"What are the experiences of people of color in the publishing industry?"

A lot of great collections. A.C. Wise. Premee Mohamed. Cassandra Khaw. Seán Padraic Birnie. Simon Strantzas. Michael Kelly. Priya Sharma. Steve Toase. Tobi Ogundiran. If you read all of them something unlocks in your brain, I promise.

Last promo today, just popping this up again. Online a few more weeks. Very kind of Undertow to make it available temporarily. If it it intrigues you, you can support the indie publisher and maybe grab a book (any book! they're all killer. so many killer collections). Ty.

Piglet Delivers Piglet was still hungover when he got to Pooh’s house. Not even the morning breeze dancing through the few remaining trees around...

It's been out for a couple of weeks and I'm still shouting about it: my story "Piglet Delivers" in @apexmag.bsky.social is my (dark?) take on Piglet, Pooh, Kanga, Owl, Rabbit, Eeyore and the Hundred Acre Wood.

Gen Z *men* don't want kids. They want the visible status supported by women's unpaid labor.

And Gen Z women see through their shit.

Yeah, the geese have been here since last week. Soon they will be hissing and dive bombing and then we’ll know for sure spring has arrived.

I saw my first robin of the season today and it was EMOTIONAL 😭🥹

So cool!!! 🖤🖤🖤

a picture of a woman praying with the words just to be clear netflix on the bottom Alt: A woman in a suit jacket gestures as she says (with text on screen): Just to be clear. Sorry, I don’t know the show/movie but there’s a Netflix logo in the right bottom corner.

*BOOM.

BOOM GOES THE BRIDE

Also a book, but again

Ha! You’re welcome!

I hate the way bsky will cut off a repost so that the context is unclear.

And I want to be VERY clear that my grubby little paws can’t wait to get themselves on BOOK GOES THE BRIDE!!!

Which book??

THIS BOOK 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼

HA, HA, HA…YES!! Can’t wait for my copy!!!

Man, I hate when when you’re sitting there, in a chat, and slurs just walk on in all by themselves like somebody turned on a faucet

Hahaha…SAME 🫠

It’s getting dark. Yet the bins remain.

💯 boopable!

Her paws all tucked up 😍

A poofy black standard poodle stands in front of the kitchen island with her head slightly cocked and her mouth slightly open, listening intently as the kiddo (off-screen) rambles on. Behind her is a tall metal stool sitting on a leopard print rug.

Watching and listening as the kiddo plays

My bad. Next round of bathtub gin's on me.
