“Skin and Glass” by @radhapyari.bsky.social is a wonderfully evocative piece about loneliness with one hell of a closing line. It feels almost more like a poem than a narrative (what is a prose poem? Is this one? I have no idea), but it’s got power clarkesworldmagazine.com/sand_09_26

6) Skin and Glass by @radhapyari.bsky.social : future disease causes people to lose life years if they make eye contact so nobody does. Life sucks. Love the attitude and fighting spirit

This is such a short piece but it says so much about isolation and our reluctance to express our need for connection, in a world where looking after yourself comes with the promise of longevity. by @radhapyari.bsky.social in @clarkesworldmagazine.com

I have a new story out in the September issue of Clarkesworld, a little, tender piece on eye contact and human connection... or the lack thereof. It's called "Skin and Glass"' and you can read it here: clarkesworldmagazine.com/sand_09_26/

Just fell in love with "Shadows on the Pavement" by @radhapyari.bsky.social! This is a brief but gorgeous piece that blends the abstract and concrete into an atmospheric, layered piece that I found myself rereading immediately to understand it more deeply. www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/shad...

I made a thing. If hustle culture doesn't resonate with you, if you feel drawn to the words "slow living" and "coziness" especially in the context of productivity and learning, then you may like this thing. Blog post: medium.com/cozy-learnin... Audio narration: youtu.be/0sxeFvKZHDk #cozy

I started re-watching Parks & Recreation last week, and since then I've visited the store 3 times to buy labels, highlighters, binders, and other stationery. This...is totally normal, right? #amIleslieknope

I've got a new pub! My story "So You Want to Run a Temporal Coffee Shop" is in the latest issue of Worlds of Possibility. Time travel, yes, but a cozy fantasy. Give it a read if that sounds like your thing! Link to issue: www.juliarios.com/introducing-... #cozy #fantasy #writing #timetravel

This is my little king, Blade, the inspiration for Midnight in my @clarkesworld.bsky.social novelette An Ode to Stardust. Blade is too curious for his own good, adores chasing stuffed mice, and sleeps tucked under my arm all buttery soft. clarkesworldmagazine.com/sand_02_23 #cat #sff #scifi
