omg omg omg. as a west indies gyal, i've been d y i n g for a carribean anti-colonial speculative story for ages!! thank you for writing this!! *adds to the cart*
Anyway, some ppl hate brown immigrants but guess what? That's what I am! And I wrote a blunt novella about a brown immigrant in the heart of empire. Actually, if you squint you might think it's the British empire!
It's a fictional story but I think very much the truth.

I feel this so strongly. I want to write, bake cookies, learn new languages, curl up with a book.

I often feel like Frodo. I wish none of this had happened. I wish the fascism had never come to us... But so do all who live to see such times.
We could just be reading great books, watching good movies, and eating fruit. Instead we have to survive/fight miserable power hoarders. What a waste of limited time.

I love blue sky, but there is one thing I miss from birdapp - that site was flooded w/ posts about open submissions, but here it's hard for me to find mags that are open

Am I following the right folks? I follow litmags + pubs but opportunities are harder to find. Is it just me? #WritingCommunity
