My check-in with Pauline Shen including my love of Xena: Warrior Princess, and Hawaiian pizza. Plus hot writing tips (I'm kidding, they're rubbish). #writingcommunity paulineshen.ca/2026/10/08/c...

Tofino lives up to the hype
Oof the imagery in that last paragraph of “Runaway Train” by @karenc.bsky.social in @gooseberrypielit.bsky.social gooseberry-pie.com/runaway-train/

Thanks Kate! I love your pirate 🏴☠️ micro.
“You seadogs—unshipped, after-taverned, unfastened”
My pleasure—this issue is packed with great writers
“how nice it is to be clean and empty on an evening like this, and not smelling of fish guts, lemon peel and sadness.”

Had to Google who voiced She-ra—it’s Aimee Carrero
She voices Teela on the He-man reboot, which is also a big improvement over the ol Mattel toy commercials of the 80s.
I have watched every single episode of Xena: Warrior Princess. And Buffy. And She-ra (the reboot is better).
An acceptance from a cool 🇨🇦 micro press I just discovered @thehooletsnook.bsky.social AND from @claudineliterary.bsky.social whom I've been inundating with subs. @dehardy.bsky.social I knew I could wear you down😉
“All I could do was hold him close while he shredded my chest, howling at the unfairness of it all.”
Great piece, Madeleine.

“this sobbing three-year-old sitting on top of a pile of Monopoly money as tall as a house, who can’t bear holding this hundred dollar bill because it means he’s not holding that hundred dollar bill. Outside, the flowers are all dying.”
That’s a good point about high-stakes competitions and the controversy around the last commonwealth prize was deeply concerning.
