I feel that vocabulary really fails me at the moment. I am mourning so much death & suffering, I am mourning our need to develop new vocabulary to encapsulate this horror. I am mourning that our existing genocidal vocabularies come together so easily out of the mouth of capital.

"Man", my story that won the @passagesnorth Waasnode Fiction Prize 2022 is out today! (Cue happy dance) It's one of the most audacious things I've ever written. Here’s the link: passagesnorth.com/issue-44/man-b…

I was in the grocery when I got the acceptance email from @PassagesNorth and squealed and did a lil dance in the aisle 😄 Kinda fitting considering this piece’s focus. Thanks, Passages North, for giving my writing a wonderful home!! passagesnorth.com/issue-44/mas-d…

AHH SO EXCITING!!! i worked on the cyborg cover art for the latest PN issue ❤️‍🔥 feels so amazing to finally see it in print!

Folks, I have an acceptance from @PassagesNorth !!! My first of 2023 and that too from a dream mag. Unbelievable.

@poetic_moni @PassagesNorth They are gorgeous pieces! Thank you so much for trusting Passages with them ♥️

Y'all, I've was scared to submit to journals like @PassagesNorth, despite reading them for almost a decade, but today I got a 2024 acceptance from my fever dream submission drive last year! A piece from my unpublished choreopoem [INSERT FANTASY HERE] no less!
