@nomad-sw18.bsky.socialReposted by @pitheadchapel.bsky.socialStunning piece from @erinvachon.bsky.social in @pitheadchapel.bsky.social "You ask me what I want your child to call me once he starts talking. Not aunt. Not uncle. Aun-cle, maybe? I say, Ent. Like the trees in The Lord of the Rings. Druids do befriend oaks and maples."

@iamchrisscott.bsky.socialReposted by @pitheadchapel.bsky.socialA fantastic new story by @mpershan.bsky.social in the latest issue of @pitheadchapel.bsky.social. Bad luck, strange rituals, and a letter perfect ending. Love this one.
@mpershan.bsky.socialReposted by @pitheadchapel.bsky.socialIf you're an English teacher looking to assign a story that involves a winter ritual wherein a poor woman who's had a tough year has to strip and wear a bird costume and undergo a painful ritual for reasons that are difficult to explain and impossible to justify, look no further!
