Honestly, this is, in my guesstimation, the #1 reason people presume that “chronically online” people are overreacting. Because in their daily experience, they know maybe three (openly) disabled people, and THEY don’t need XYZ kind of assistance! Yeah, dude, there’s confirmation bias out the butt

Everything in the evening should start at 7:30 pm. It should just be standard so we never wonder what time to show up. 7:30. That’s the time.

Perpetual reminder that making fun of "bad" fat people means that "good" fat people are one infraction away from you being an asshole at them about their bodies and it is completely at your whim and mercy. It's not a good look.

I forget who said "All music's folk music. Ain't never heard a horse who could sing" -- but i think we now have a concrete example of music that is Definitely NOT folk music 🫠 that really sucks, Kate!

Just watched GYPSY. Now that last song finally makes sense. I’d hear it in revues or see drag queens perform it and be like “what the hell kinda emotional roller coaster is this character on? Who the heck is Mr. Goldstone and what’s his connection to egg rolls???” Well. Now i know.

Recently ended something w someone who didn’t seem genuinely curious about me and who kept breaking a (admittedly small and possibly ambiguous) boundary of mine. I didn’t tell them why, though—i just ended it and wished them well.

Check them out here: subclub.substack.com/p/7-lit-mags... @pleiadesmag.bsky.social @thelondonmagazine.bsky.social @onlypoemsmag.bsky.social

6 Lit mags you gotta submit to this week (& why)

Pleiades Magazine
An 80s mag that continues to stay relevant. They have a great book review as well as a print and online presence, and their acceptance rate is very much in the sweet spot.

The London Magazine
A literary magazine older than my grandpa, but one that’s pretty much cemented its place in the lit mag world.

The Literary Fantasy Magazine
A mag that’s new to me but has been around for a couple years. They want stories that challenge convictions and paint new horizons.

A Public Space
I’ve met some of the folks behind A Public Space and this lit mag and press has a great, genuine team behind it.

VOLTA
A fairly new lit mag that has a great name (I’m a sucker for all-caps names), they want work that’s imagistically vibrant and emotionally raw and ambitious.

ONLY POEMS
In preparation and celebration for this not-a-real-holiday-but-what-the-heck, the Poem of the Month theme is all about dads. So, um, send your daddy poems.
