- I have a very special essay up in Beautiful Things. For me, it's a shift in energy from all the despair. Also, a precious moment of my chicken years captured. Fun little anecdote: When I fed them this morning (chilly!) i gave them warm scrambled egg to celebrate, and I told them they’re famous now.

- So very excited to have made the finalist list for @fracturedlit.bsky.social Flash Fiction OPEN , judged by the incredible Gwen Kirby. Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to unveiling my crazy, tasteless tabloid show story sometime in the new year. This one was so much fun to write!
- He looked at the dead dog, Cherry. She was off the road, on a pile of leaves that were composting against the fence. She was stretched out, mouth open. There was nothing wrong with her, except she was dead. Every story @glennorgias.bsky.social writes is a stunner... @necessaryfiction.com
- had no idea what she was about to tell him or ask him and her decision frightened her like when how long someone could go on being ignorantly happy while the death of a loved one went unknown. That was an exaggeration of course The quiet on the edge of change David Guiotto in Flash the Court

- A wonderful surprise in the mail yesterday, my copy of The Best of Stanchion. A few pieces I've read before was like revisiting an old friend, but then discovering other ones I missed, like the 18 word poem by Brian Baker that totally blew my mind... Great issue, Jeff, thanks for including me!
- Everything Allison writes is just tremendous. I can't wait to read this one, too! Pre-order your copy now.
- What a wonderful surprise! And such an impressive group! Thank you so much @brettpribble.bsky.social for the nomination! ICYMI here's the link to my story: ghostparachute.com/issue/novemb...
- I notice a girl taller than the rest, her long, silky blonde hair pulled back and ribboned at the crown of her head. She kicks her knee up and spins around with her baton. Her smile shines. What if I could smile like her? So much longing to belong @m-s-reagan.bsky.social @short-reads.org
