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. ๐Ÿ˜๐Ÿ‘

And be sure to check out the threaded replies for more tips. I will continue to add more. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

My heart breaks for the victims of the Colorado Springs shooting, but AOC isnโ€™t here for hollow expressions of sympathy.

After Lauren Boebert offered โ€œthoughts and prayersโ€ 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:

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.

@stephstephking What the hell?? Iโ€™m sorry it was sucky and ended the way it did. ๐Ÿ˜ฌ

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.
@catemcgowan @jellyfishreview @sfreligh this right here. I donโ€™t pick the pov, I just have a character show up or a scene develop and the pov decides itself. In editing I might change it, but I donโ€™t do that often.
@nikkirivera about to turn mine in!
@ajsuper @nikkirivera Good luck! I always seem to get genres Iโ€™m not comfortable with but sometimes Iโ€™ve surprised myself. :)
