I'm a writer and collage artist working in Northwest Arkansas. My words and art have been published in print and online literary journals and included in recent anthologies from Bath Flash Fiction and Belle Point Press and the upcoming Best Small Fictions 2022. Reach out if you need art for your project!

I also enjoy Nacho Cheese Doritos and peanut M&Ms, shopping at thrift stores, road trips, and daydreaming about that little house on the moors of Scotland I saw last summer.

#MASTODONTIPS HUGE THREAD!

For those that joined #Mastodon and grabbed the first server they could find but would prefer to #migrate to a different one, I created a short guide on how to do this quickly and easily.
It also allows you to easily move any followers across to your new profile and leaves a redirection on your old profile for those that find it. 😁👍

And be sure to check out the threaded replies for more tips. I will continue to add more. 👍🏼

How To Easily Migrate your Mastodon Account to Another Server without losing your Followers

My heart breaks for the victims of the Colorado Springs shooting, but AOC isn’t here for hollow expressions of sympathy.

After Lauren Boebert offered “thoughts and prayers” to victims and their families, AOC was quick to call her out for her own culpability in the violence.

On point as always, AOC.

Read what she said about Boebert here:

AOC Calls Out Lauren Boebert For Her 'Thoughts And Prayers' Tweet After Colorado LGBTQ+ Club Shooting

Our hearts break for the many victims.

I feel like the tradition needs to be kept alive here on Mastodon. You know what to do.

Have you ever seen an oak tree dance?

Britain is full of 'lost' rainforests, predominantly in the southwest and northwest of England, western/northwestern parts of Wales and the west coast of Scotland. There are other areas where the conditions are perfect too, like this one in the Peak District National Park.

When the rain starts and the cloud base drops into the rainforest, the trees come alive. Everywhere you look, there is magic and mystery.

I will never understand why people are so averse to diversity.

I like seeing trans people speaking to each other with idioms I don't get, cute girls speaking a language I can't recognize, or gay dudes priming and posing in random pics.

Seeing shit that is not for me makes me feel like I'm part of a much bigger world that still has space for me to learn and grow.

That's a big place of comfort for me. The bottomless nature of the human experience means we all have space to be fully who we are.

That's pretty cool.
Finished my 250-word #scifi story for #nycmidnight that includes a detail I found via some nerdy research probably none of the judges will get, but that’s how I roll.

When I set up the @litsubmissions and @virtualreadings groups we couldn't follow hashtags, but now we can. Maybe it's better to use some standard hashtags for these instead.

#VirtualReadings - tag your virtual #literary #reading events so we can follow, boost, and attend.

#LitSubmissions - tag your #LitMag #submission calls so we can follow, boost, and submit.

Just suggestions, if there are better tags to use, please let us know.

Trampset is open until next Friday (11/25) for an issue guest-edited by Monica Wang. They're a fantastic journal (and I have a 🐠 fishy piece 🐠 forthcoming there in January!), and they pay $25 per accepted piece!

They say they're closing for a while after the 11/25 deadline, so get it before that happens—free subs for prose up to 3,000 words and poetry. Simultaneous subs OK!

Are any of my fellow #mastowriters working on a 250-word story for #NYCMidnight today? I think I have a solid draft, now I will let it simmer for a while before final review and submission.

What’s your genre and activity?
