A tan, paper-textured image with brown accents. The words “CELEBRATING OBESITY!” sit at the top in a large bubble font. A round botanical drawing is faded into the background of the image. Two round abstract shapes almost like a person kneeling frame the top paragraph. The text reads, in alternating cursive and bubble fonts: “You are invited—cordially of course—to the wedding of A.C.D & THE FAT THAT HANGS OFF HER BULGING STOMACH. On the EVERY DAY of the EVERY MONTH of the EVERY YEAR. At THE SOFT FEELING OF SUNLIGHT DANCING ACROSS HER EXPOSED THIGHS. Join the 300 POUNDS OF WONDERFUL, UNDULATING FLESH for a night to remember and a large, full life to treasure. The DENSITY OF LOVE, the WEIGHT OF HUMOR, and the HEAVINESS OF SPIRIT to follow. P.S. All gifts in the form of advice, diet pills, or similar smelling bullshit will be torn open and stabbed with a thin person’s fragile rib. P.P.S. The happy couple is only accepting well wishes, poor wishes or any wishes in between in the form of COLD HARD CASH. P.P.P.S. Pay up, shut up, crack like the twig you are.”
@acd.works's "CELEBRATING OBESITY" was our first acceptance for this issue, and an enthusiastic one –– a satirical + deeply serious piece on self-love and a refusal of anti-fatness.

Elbow
I’m no good at licking my elbows, have less luck connecting with strangers. Outside,
across the street there are two stick-like poshes with their elbows stuffed in each other’s mouths, licking with tongue and even a light nibble
of teeth. I’m sick with jealousy but also affronted by such public displays of distasteful interaction. So I go out, in my waiter garb,
and I stipple my feet up to their table, demand them to disconnect. They do but they look at me
with the coldest expression. I instantly regret my existence, start backing into the street like a drunk pigeon. Everybody has
the coldest of faces. My boss is shaking his head, not in anger, but in an inconvenient grief like at a funeral for a relative you didn’t
know well. I’m fired.
@odinmeadows.bsky.social, a returning contributor, brings us two short pieces, written with his trademark strangeness.

Tell me that the kids don’t know where potatoes come from. Tell them it’s from the earth and they might not eat anymore. Kids don’t eat enough dirt anymore. Me? I’m about as butch as a girl-child making a mudcake. This is how to play house. We’re all the mom but you can be the dad. There’s a dog that’s also a cat. The children are all well fed. There is a rosebush and also a clover garden. One bedroom. This is where you can keep your things in my life. (In the bottom left drawer.) Fold it next to my boyhood and I will hold it against my chest when you leave. This is where I keep my toothbrush and you can keep yours next to mine. This is how you time travel. This is how you look back with feeling. This is how to open the garage door from the inside. Teach me how to drive and I’ll teach you something about poetry. This is how to find the center of gravity. It’s between your ear and your chin. It’s the distance between us October-June. This is how to do laundry together and yes, I will remember the dryer sheets. I know about the oat milk in the morning, the reality tv before bed. This is how to be a boy. It requires a lot of blush. Add mascara to your mustache. This is how to be a girl. I know a thing or two about it. Tell me about the girl from high school. Tell me about your name and I’ll tell you about my mother. This is how to lick the floorboards, Andrea Gibson. I’m on WikiHow every night figuring out how to tell you. This is How To Lose A Guy in 10 Days, Kate Hudson. This is how to. This is something I can’t explain in words so let’s transcend language, let’s press our foreheads together, let’s call it even.
@ashtonistyping.bsky.social demonstrates their brilliant flash skills with Neither, Both, a critique of social commonsense and gesture of hope toward something better.

on a whited-out background reading:
alienation echo
The
inadequacy of language
is extended
where words are a refuge
retreat to the wilderness
fairy tales and
history
the duplicity of language
fiction, developing a series
of love triangles.
@joannemerriam.bsky.social's erasures reflect the "inadequacy of language" as well as the possibilities located within the creative imagination.

two locks latched means
everyone’s still tucked inside
buried deep, closed up,
except a crack in my upstairs window
balancing the dusty heat with outside air
where the first late snow drowns
the black twisted stalks of
peas, strawberries, tomatoes
strangled fruits clawing up from a pale grave
stewing in their dark plastic pots since June.
even once softly tended peppers
dangle rotting from their vine.
@kmbezner.bsky.social's "This Morning My Coffee Is Bitter" is evocative and claustrophobic, rich with color and imagery.

If you liked my piece in Inner Worlds, consider checking out "Mind Palace v1.2.1," my experimental flash piece recently published in @manyworlds.place! Text-based indie horror game meets the violence our healthcare system inflicts on its workers.

this is a very important part of her legacy, her support for Palestine. one of the things i will always remember is that one of Dr. Refaat Alareer’s last liked posts on Twitter before it turned into x and removed like history is a photo of Alice.

New flash piece out in manywor(l)ds today about the severe and lasting trauma healthcare workers experience on a daily basis. What if there was a way to compartmentalize those experiences digitally? Nothing bad could come of that, right?

A ( )en Body Comes to Shore
by Haley Bossé
Because the shore is an alarm set just loud enough to break my fugue, I silence it but don’t go back to sleep.
Because I wake with pounding everywhere, the doctor is unsure how to classify the ( ). Because I reclassify my ( ) as boring, I can’t rest long enough to unmatter it from my brain.
Because I cannot rest, I muster up the anti-spoons to spiral out while workshopping. Workshopping, I spiral into pain until it pops and coats me with its whiteworms.
My sister texts to let me know she’s visiting. I let her know she’s visiting without telling her I’m ( ). While visiting, she’s ( ).
We're incredibly excited about all of the pieces in this issue, including Haley Bossé's piece, "A ( )en Body Comes to Shore."

Having learned, along with the rest of our community members, about the tragic passing of disabled oracle and activist @sfdirewolf.bsky.social, I'd like to think of this particular issue of manywor(l)ds as dedicated to Alice, and the disabled worlds she helped make possible.

“Triceracopter,” a life-sized statute of a dinosaur-helicopter hybrid, lives in the University of Cincinnati Library. It was created by Patricia Renick, built out of a helicopter used and scarred in the Vietnam War.
We are so excited to share issue 10 with you, featuring brilliant creatives like @blackcattales.bsky.social, @kathrynreese.bsky.social, @pleomorphic2.bsky.social, @dihyatamaghza.bsky.social, @rjaurand.bsky.social, and more!
