The sky
saved room
for one more tear
and I supplied it
earnestly

it rolled slowly
down my cheek,
onto the ground,
from where
it travelled
to the clouds

when the
rain poured
it returned,
so I cried
once more—
for you, for us

for the endless
boundaries
our souls
can't cross.

Hey folks. Since I'm up...

Where would you place you work in a bookstore? What section?

I think all my stuff would end up in Fantasy.

What about you?

The shed door is open, and from it emanates a bright red glow Digital illustration depicting a one-armed french world war one soldier in a field of tall grass. He is ablaze as he smokes a cigarette and holds his rifle lanyard with his hand. In the background are church ruins in foggy weather. The tones are blue and orange. Digital sketch illustration depicting a skinny woman with a prosthetic arm as viewed from behind. Her long silver hair is parted to reveal her back, in the middle of which is a bright red square that glows. The woman is pointing a cutter to it, that she's holding firmly Digital illustration of a young man under green and orange neon lights at night. Blurred neon signs are behind him. He has shoulder-length blonde hair parted on the side, flowing as he walks, multiple face piercings, smokey eye make up, and is casually smoking a cigarette

“Winter hides in my heart…” A glimpse of the stories inside Soot & Boots. Out this month. #SootAndBoots
Book cover for “Soot & Boots: An Anthology of Short Festive Fiction.” The illustration shows a pair of tall, black, soot-dusted boots standing on a scuffed wooden floor against a textured blue-grey wall. The title appears in bold white lettering above the boots, and The Broken Spine’s logo sits at the bottom of the cover.

A very good video essay. Watched it a few days ago. Gave me a lot to think about.

Thought this video essay on the controversy of ace rep was cool.

What stood out to me:

1. I also don’t mind ace villains & think they’re badass. As a fellow Asian American I agree it’s like martial arts AA rep—it’s cool sometimes, it’s just not where the rep should stop.
