Just came across @croaklit.bsky.social, a lit mag about frogs (and sometimes toads). It's a good day, y'all.

check out memezinelit.com and read the “weird little guys” issue if you need a dose of lovely literary strangeness / I am super proud of my team for getting this out into the world, and I’m stoked to share this with you all today.

i'll share this one as a tease, but all three new poems today from Kristin Gustafson are bangers and you should 100% click through and read! www.havehashad.com/twbu5
A poem titled "to the tacos found in the ruins of the burned church," with artistic typography. The text explores themes of memory, loss, and the juxtaposition of sacred and mundane experiences, using imagery of tacos and religious references. The layout features a clean, minimalist design with strategically placed line breaks.

Looking forward to the Mangione-inspired romance novels. She was the daughter of an evil CEO. He murdered her father in the name of justice. When they meet unexpectedly in a fast food restaurant, will she rat him out? Or will he gun for her heart? Find out in "Headhunt Hearthunt."

Stepping away from your work can be so rewarding, but damn if I don't feel guilty as hell for doing it.

The worst part about getting poems accepted by journals is that you have to write more poems. But an acceptance from @theoffingmag.bsky.social is totally worth it. 😎

I love me a formal poem about the internet. "you find / yourself dreaming of yard / sales... / because there's even / less spare room in / your brain than in / your flat & all your / heart can accommodate is / a troubled prayer"
