Don’t think I will ever read a better writer genesis story than this one from Ray Bradbury. Pure magic. Live forever, Ray. You inspired me as well when I was 12.

happy back to school to everyone with collective synesthesia for notebook colors, except my childhood friend Jeff, who picked all black notebooks/folders and put them all in a black trapper keeper.

do you like climate short fiction? orcas ramming boats? relevant immigration commentary through a speculative lens? learning about very specific plumbing? 50s slang?

“…no one anticipated bottom dwelling ocean creatures in the plumbing.” Extremely honored to publish @catholicked.bsky.social today - this story grabbed me when I first read it and has only gotten more relevant and essential since. Take a break from the news and read it now - art is everything.

Why you should care: no more crabs, lobster, oysters, mussels. An acidic ocean means at some point shellfish struggle to make shells

sometimes I think about the TSA agent in Miami who I thought was gonna be a huge dickwad, but when he saw my passport stamps from Guyana, asked me if I brought him any roti. He knew what was up.

🥹 thank you. It is totally subjective, so even a lack of tiered responses means nothing about the quality of your chap. I really enjoy reading your stories when I come across them. Sending good vibes to you too!

She's been obsessed with bathrooms the whole time. You could rename every single HP book Harry Potter and the _______ Bathroom. It's like a main character/foil/plot point. For Every Book. Except maybe three and seven. OBSESSED.

The scaly-foot snail doesn’t bow to pressure—it thrives under it. Living in toxic hydrothermal vents, it armors itself with iron, turning the very forces that should destroy it into protection. That’s how you resist oppression—adapt, fortify, and endure. 🐌🔥 #MolluscMonday #Resist
