If you enjoy your highbrow literature shot from a lowbrow cannon, might I suggest picking this up at a comic shop near you? @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social @mattbors.bsky.social @sobreiro.bsky.social @tompeyer.bsky.social @lloydkaufman.bsky.social

STOP NORMALIZING AI. Pick up an instrument and make some noise with it. Pick up a pen and scribble some shapes with it. Pick up a camera and point it at something beautiful or ugly or interesting. Pick up a microphone and scream something into it. MAKE REAL THINGS.

Don’t ever trust anyone who discredits the arts.

I’ve been really bad about publishing posts this year. Here’s a bunch of stuff that’s come out with @ahoycomicmags.bsky.social in the past few months…

My story ‘Smoke’ is featured on @theforge.bsky.social today and I’m absolutely thrilled about it. Pour yourself a cup of coffee and give it a read, yeah?

torontojournal.com/issue5-to-we... This is a story of unacknowledged grief, and if you’re up for an emotional deep-dive I’d love for you to read TO WEIGH A GHOST in the fantastic Toronto Journal—linked below (above? how does this site work…?)
