@wiswell.bsky.socialReposted by @angelvleal.bsky.socialIn light of some magazines pulling scummy things on creators lately, I’m doing a little thread on short story rights. I don't want anybody getting taken advantage of. Also, if you're new, this stuff can be confusing!
@angelvleal.bsky.socialThank you so much for sharing our poems and @angelaliu.bsky.social for such beautiful reviews of them! :') I loved discovering all the other poems 💜 They were sooo good!!
@mynachang.bsky.socialReposted by @angelvleal.bsky.socialNew speculative poetry recs from Angela Liu in MicroVerse!
Angela collected some gorgeous poems for you - check ‘em out!
@angelvleal.bsky.socialAh, loved this piece so much Angela!! the lines "time isn’t a wound so there’s no way to fix it" and "how sometimes we can hold a funeral for something that hasn’t finished dying" really got to me in particular..but yes, this poem has so many moments of thoughtful and powerful, emotional beauty
@angelaliu.bsky.socialReposted by @angelvleal.bsky.socialI have a new poem out in @uncannymagazine.bsky.social today! It’s my first new poem of the year.
“Butterfly Effect” is inspired by all the unfinished stories and all the things I wish we could take back.
@angelvleal.bsky.socialThank you so so much for believing in our work!! :')

@kristinaten.bsky.socialReposted by @angelvleal.bsky.socialNew story day, and it's a short one! “Ivan Ivanovich” is about spacecraft dummies & the illusion of safety & an adriftness that makes you feel far from your own self.
