miranda 🐌 @mhd.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Very happy to have my poem "Observational" in the Maya's Micros feature of The Closed Eye Open. I wrote it at the start of quarantine in 2020, inspired by the strange slowness of empty days in my apartment. Give it a read here: theclosedeyeopen.com/mayas-micros... 011
miranda 🐌 @mhd.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Moving from the suburbs to a city with public transportation has been wonderful for a lot of reasons, but one of my favorites is the increase in opportunities for Staring Out The Window And Daydreaming. 041
miranda 🐌 @mhd.bsky.social · 01/08/2026So proud and excited to share my flash fiction "The Last Florida Panther" is out today in the South Florida Poetry Journal! Give it a read here: 062

miranda 🐌 @mhd.bsky.social · 19/07/2026Some relevant lines from my osteology textbook published in 2005, warning of over-reliance on what they called the “computer revolution”: 131
miranda 🐌 @mhd.bsky.social · 10/07/2026I’m so thrilled to share that my strange little flash fiction about strange little girlhood is out today in Club Plum! Read “Eleanor Underwater” here: clubplumliteraryjournal.com/miranda-diaz/clubplumliteraryjournal.comMiranda DiazEleanor Underwater You can see so much from the bottom of the pool. That’s why Eleanor likes it there in the pressing blueness of the eye-burning, chlorinated water, six, nine, twelve feet of dista… 020
miranda 🐌 @mhd.bsky.social · 13/06/2026I just read this story in Flash Frog and went looking for you to say it was absolutely fantastic! As soon as I finished I read it over again. Just wonderful. 000
miranda 🐌 @mhd.bsky.social · 07/06/2026I believe Tim Curry was only there for the LA show and this one, and that Lesley Ann Warren will be on her own for the rest. Hopefully those go better for her :( 120
miranda 🐌 @mhd.bsky.social · 07/06/2026I was hoping I’d find other people talking about this it was so wildly uncomfortable- I felt the same way and don’t understand how the producer (the guy “moderating” the q&a so poorly) went forward with this, it felt so exploitative and a bad time all around :( 010
Reposted by miranda 🐌Idrees 🌘 @idreesinc.com · 03/06/2026Please do not fall into the trap of thinking that a side project should be "useful". The only purpose of a side project is to be enjoyed. Perhaps you enjoy making it, or maybe you enjoy using it once it's finished, but always remember that the joy itself is the goal. 1334
miranda 🐌 @mhd.bsky.social · 01/06/2026I was lucky enough to be at this panel (just barely, standing room only) and it was amazing!! Super thoughtful and inspiring from all three authors, but I didn’t expect Chuck Tingle’s philosophy to make me so emotional. Love is in fact real 010
miranda 🐌 @mhd.bsky.social · 30/05/2026I just read this story by @znnys.bsky.social and it was absolutely fantastic. So immersive and it the setting felt so vivd in such a short work. 132

miranda 🐌 @mhd.bsky.social · 03/05/2026I've been saving the first money I earned from writing to spend on something entirely unnecessary and joyful, and yesterday I used it to see Return of the King performed by the SF Symphony. It was absolutely wonderful and I feel like my 12 y/o self would've been very proud (maybe a little jealous). 031
miranda 🐌 @mhd.bsky.social · 24/04/2026I coincidentally just read Lonesome Dove for the first time followed by Our Share of Night! Loved them both though they couldn't be more different. Pachinko is on my to-read list as well! 110
miranda 🐌 @mhd.bsky.social · 24/04/2026I've read all of Enriquez's short stories (also wonderful) and the extension of her already immersive, haunting prose into the world and inhabitants of the novel worked so well. I read it in just three sittings and feel left with an itchy, generative inspiration. 010
miranda 🐌 @mhd.bsky.social · 24/04/2026Just finished reading Our Share of Night by Marina Enriquez (tr. Megan McDowell)- absolutely astonishing, breathtaking, incredible work. I don't usually post on here but I feel like shouting into the void about it because it was the kind of book that leaves you thrumming under the skin afterward. 110
