Five-ish things: new stories, my own fanart, required reading, and a raccoon.
Hey folks, here are five-ish things that didn’t make me upset, including a raccoon, as promised. Stay safe out there.
Horsegirl, the story: pick up a digital copy of Messy Misfits Volume 6: Filth here for 2USD.
CW: kink, blood (listen, you see the title, yeah?)

Also, can you make fanart of your own story? Is that a thing? Or is just wishful illustration?Making Étouffée, in Hotch Potch Literature & Art, is the longest story I’ve written in years, come for the thumbnail as a weapon content you know you need, stay because I made you hungry. That’s right. I did this to you.
“When Aunty Lola deveins shrimp for étouffée she does it with that same long thumbnail, which she keeps naked and dagger-edged.”
When Aerosmith and Run DMC decide to co-parent, by Melissa Llanes Brownlee. Every story Melissa writes is my favorite.
Manual for an American Novice in a Small Indian Town by Tara Isabel Zambrano will be in Best Microfictions 2025 (plus another piece!!!) and is one of my all time favorite stories.
