Happy Sunday space lesbians! This week's #slbc is A Good Mother by E.I. Richardson in @syntaxandsalt syntaxandsalt.com/2020/01/01/a-g… Check it out for a story about grief and trauma and learning to take care of the difficult parts of you. (CN for abuse & depression)

We have updated our submission guidelines: milkcandyreview.home.blog/submissions/ We didn't think it should be necessary to say, but: "If your story is accepted, please do not ask us to wait until you hear back from another journal. If you ask us to do that, we will rescind your acceptance."

@FoggWriter @Bwhugen @mbennardo Thank you so much, Vanessa!

Whenever there is someone saying "I'm not interested in diversity, only in literary quality," I tell my story about reviewing short fiction, and I haven't had a handy thread of it before. So, thread! (Later I can just bump it when the topic comes up again. It does a lot)

Does anyone publish fiction chapbooks? This seems like something that should exist.

I’ve been thinking a lot lately about the state of race relations in America. One thing I learned from the success of ROOTS (if you don’t know, you better ask somebody) 42 years ago, was the power of storytelling as a way to bridge the gap between races.

@snarkattack @chelseahannac Thank you for being a part of it, as a reader and guest editor!

Hi friends, if you have some time today, please spend it reading @syntaxandsalt's final issue. I am so proud of what we've created over the past four years <3
