@brettpribble.bsky.socialReposted by @taracampbell.bsky.socialRead "Not affected by any of this" written by @taracampbell.bsky.social and illustrated by @brooksiesbooks.bsky.social.
"Or so I thought. It was just a job, just a soap opera. A ridiculous one, sure, what with my upcoming wedding to a monkey."
@taracampbell.bsky.socialThank you @brettpribble.bsky.social for including my story "Not affected by any of this" in the big 10-year Ghost Parachute anniversary issue!
And thank you to Start Liners Writers Group for the prompt that inspired it!

@taracampbell.bsky.social"It was just a job, just a soap opera. A ridiculous one, sure, what with my upcoming wedding to a monkey. The producers said they needed something to bump up the ratings, to keep their advertisers from jumping ship, so they took inspiration from their biggest client, Chiquita, & leaned into it."
@realtuckfrumper.bsky.socialReposted by @taracampbell.bsky.socialBlink and the deadline gets cute with you. Check registration, vote early, or seal the mail ballot before good intentions turn into a group chat apology. After Oct 27, skip the blue box. Official drop box. Spectators do not get a sticker. #LetsGetVoteReady
