My family are just a generation removed from country origins, so "Aight, folks-" is used pretty heavily around here.

Gotta redo my website. I commissioned this "logo" for it. I think if I'm going to use it, the rest of the site will need to be really simple. Wordpress is kicking my butt, tho.

I’ve got to record myself reading a poem out loud.
The last time I recited a poem in public was 22 years ago.
I’m going to listen to a few hours of Michael Sheen frothing Shakespeare at the mouth, and see if that helps my tummy butterflies. Wish me luck, #WriterCommunity #poetry

NICE!
These are the girls of Dubbaco, and that "rabbit" is one of their familiars. He's named Fluffers, and yes he has a scorpion tail today, but usually he has eyes all over his body, a wasp stinger, and projectile fangs.

He didn’t. He was creating action-movie-style banter because he wanted to be perceived as awesomely epic. He probably walked away in slow motion, waiting for people to clap.

It’s lighter than fruit jams. Or at least in my experience, but the cheese I pair it with is strong as well.

I’ve never had lavender jelly, but rose jam is bliss and I can see it being incredible on either feta or Brie toast

Has it been seven years already? SEVEN YEARS?! Trust me when I say seven years of publication is amazing for a literary magazine. The ease of starting a mag hides how hard it is to stay relevant and engaged with the world. - @davaun.bsky.social
