“Nature’s Gaze” by Unknown Photographer - Grass elements transform human features into organic art, merging the natural with the human form.

hi my reader friends lithub has a new syllabi section that has some great (u guessed it!) syllabi from much beloved writers like ocean vuong and ross gay here's the full list that i have already added half of to my tbr:

ekphrastic poetry with victoria chang (featuring works of john ashbery, joy harjo, paul tran)

the literature of obsession with julia may jonas (obsession as transformation, destruction, catharsis and form)

place, space and landscape with alexandra kleeman (featuring didion, okorafor and hernan diaz)

lyric research with ross gay (books that combine research with an "I" like nelson's bluets or christle's the crying book)

hybrid poetry with ocean vuong (traditions, innovations and possibilities featuring bhanu kapil, rimbaud, clifton)

multigenre experiments in form with paul lisicky (for writing that explores connections between genres)

reading about writers with peter ho davies (books that teach the craft and give writing advice, think 'the outline' trilogy)

speculative women with lina maria ferreira cabeza-vanegas (a look at speculative works by women writers like jemisin, butler, k le guin)

writers and the world with viet thanh nguyen (rankine, baldwin, and coates)

sports and contemporary writing with sam lipsyte (exactly what it says on the tin)

READY TO PLAY: A Memory.

Oblivious Melodies is an interactive fiction game, set in the in the fictional country of Angria, based on early industrial-era Britain. Following the Horne siblings (two semi-set main characters) and their emergence into gentry society, you will delve into a country divided by class, religious dissent, political factionalism, and the ever-encroaching interests of empire.

This chapter forms a prequel to the main series and may contain spoilers for the preceding chapters!

volume 2: chapter one

This special chapter was produced for @callmebeem as part of the IF Raffle for Palestine organised by @northern-passage. If you enjoy my writing, please consider donating to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund to help provide necessary aid for families impacted by the violence in Gaza.

Thank you to everyone who has played so far - please reblog & share if you enjoy my work!

ultimately you have to be willing to relinquish the spoils of the in-group if it's demanding moral bankruptcy of you. you have to not accept the bribes of power. and you have to do this over and over again even if you lose materially

i remember learning the word melancholy at age 7 or something and thinking oh this word's gonna be huge for me

Photographs of Victoria, the pet cat of a failed 1921-1923 expedition to colonise the Arctic Wrangel Island. The last picture shows Ada Blackjack and Victoria, the sole survivors of the expedition, on board the rescue ship.

the last couple of days I've been noticing way more buds than usual on the branches of trees and bushes. I think something big is about to happen
