I want to need bigger cookware. A skillet that can handle 5 lbs of taco beef at once, a griddle for 10+ pancakes, a stew pot that fits 3 gallons. I want to have such a big, expansive, friendly, loving family (including lovers, friends, metamours, children, blood family, etc) that normal cookware just isn't a feasible way for me to feed them all at cookouts and big family dinners. I want to live my life surrounded by people and good smells and the knowledge that I am contributing to the well-being of everyone I hold dear.

Apple Cider

I am a woman the way apple cider is a juice fitting in, sitting pretty together on the shelf getting along

I only notice the difference when the sting hits my tongue

I am an oval trying to fit inside a circle so close fitting here or there sometimes but never fully never always never completely because that isn't what I'm supposed to be or at least not all of the time

I am not quite a woman the way apple cider isn't quite juice

If My Circuits Could Sing: A Sci-Fi Zine About Obligation is accepting submissions!

Hi everyone!

I've heard back from the last of the print shops I reached out to. I'm still ironing out specifics but I figure we've been too quiet, so it should be time to get things rolling.

(Not sure who we are? Check out our writeup here. )

For writing, we are looking for:

Stories in the neighborhood of 2000 words. Submissions over 3000 words are unlikely to be considered.

Poems no more than 4 pages.

We are not interested in nonfiction at this time.

For art, we are looking for:

Short comics in the neighborhood of five pages.

Art pieces that either stand on their own, whole page or half-page with backgrounds, or that text can be wrapped around

Feel free to send over many small pieces in addition to or instead of larger ones!

For all submissions:

Please include a list of content warnings if your submission contains any subjects that may be intense, uncomfortable, or triggering. For example, bone breaking, body horror, blood, gore, etc.

How to submit:

For text, we'll be using Google Docs for its extensive cooperative editing features. The simplest thing for us would be for you to simply Share a Google doc with the zine email; [email protected] . If that's impossible, we'll accept submissions as plaintext (in the body of the email), or PDF. In both cases your work will be copied into a Google Doc which will be shared with your email.

For art, simply email your submissions as a standard image file(s), or a link to a photohosting site like Imgur. Again, that address is: [email protected]

We will give each submission one editing pass, more for clarity than anything else. Any of our suggestions can be declined if you feel that they harm the integrity of the work, or otherwise don't fit with your vision. Whether we accept all submissions or only some will depend entirely on the number of submissions.

I am extremely excited to see your work! Please let us know in the server or to our email if you have any questions!

Submissions will be open until: February 1 2024.

Join our Discord server here!

Am I...?

Am I really _______? No... I'm not ______ enough. Or maybe I'm too _____? I'm not like the other people who are____ But I'm certainly not normal either... I'm not _____ enough to count, right? But I'm too ______ to fit in, to understand, to belong Maybe I am and am not? Not one of them, the ____ But not quite normal enough to get by One foot in each world But not belonging to either Is that a thing? Or instead of being ____ maybe I'm just something else? Is there even a word for me? Is there even a place for me? Is this seat taken?

Tasty bowl of hot homemade chili that my partner and I made the other day, with white rice, green onions, and tajin seasoning ^^

A few photos and a video from a beautiful autumn walk just before sunset! The world is so beautiful. I love the scent of fallen leaves and the bite in the air as winter approaches. And I love how the setting sun painted everything in golden steaks. I had to stop to take photos every few steps!

Alt text for the video: a gust of wind knocks down a shower of falling leaves and pine needles from the thick trees in the woods. I really liked the sound and attempted to capture it.

Very yellow/orange/brown/golden sunshine-colored fried rice, as brunch for my fiancee and myself! <3

Leftover rice, chopped canned baby corn, grated carrots, and eggs, cooked with canola oil, butter, teriyaki sauce, seasoned rice vinegar, salt, and pepper ^^

If My Circuits Could Sing, an upcoming sci-fi zine

If My Circuits Could Sing is an upcoming science fiction zine. It's a collection of stories, poetry, visual art, photography, nonfiction writing, and more exploring stories about robots, mecha, and obligation. The stories contained within this collection aim to explore the questions: Just what is it that makes us human? What about what makes us not?; Just how much must I give to my community, my government, my military, my society, my world? When will it be enough?; I was made to serve. Am I really satisfied continuing that life?; What must we do to survive? What of us survives devastation? And likely other questions, too.

Circuits is punk. It's queer, and trans - gender and humanist. It's science-fiction and it's about our oncoming factual future. It's anti-military and anti-cop (so, it's anti-military). These stories are ones of hope in darkness. They're poems about grinding gears and weapons taller than buildings. They're pictures of what we're heading toward, and what we're trying so hard to avoid. It's about heat, and bombs. Circuits is about singing songs at the end of all things, around campfires, and with love.

Teriyaki fried rice with eggs and sauteed zucchini, to use up leftovers, on a day when I was positively ravenous. Sometimes self love is cooking something delicious for yourself.
