I just wrote my first poem in years and all I can think is, where do I fucking work in the Taco Bell reference so I can submit it to @tbq.bsky.social for a rejection? Surely thatâs not how that shit works but maybe they have a pointâjust write the fucker. Nothing matters.
Iâm nearly done with my PhD. So now Iâm, like, whatâm I gonna do with all this free time? Start a lit mag, maybe? Nothing could go wrong with that. So, opening up to the hive mind. Thoughts on what weird shit that wants representation, ie @crabtalesmagazine.bsky.social@tbq.bsky.social?
