It's cute that everybody's leaving (what was once) Twitter *after* the US election. Anyway, better late than never: bsky.app/profile/wesviola.bs…

I don't think I ever dreamed that my 'Godzilla: Lizard Poet' pieces would be published by a bona fide poetry press... And yet - two of them are in this anthology from the stellar @brokensleep, out this month. All I can say is, grawwrr! Rarrgh! Gr-arrgh!

Highly recommend. I think this is what dreams are *for*. I wrote about it here: wakeupscreaming.com/wes-viol…

I have two poems out soon which have been waiting ages to find the right home. Both centred on personal experience, rather than imaginative. 'There Will Be Milk' is in @brokensleep's 'Masculinity' anthology, out Wednesday. 'Watcombe Bay' will be with @EunoiaReview in late April.

...I mean not that they're *not* imaginative, hopefully, but you know what I mean. Not at the 'mutated fairytale' end of my writing spectrum.

Last #TheTraitors post, promise I get why people are frustrated that Mollie didn't do the logical thing BUT Although Jaz not being a traitor is arguably evidenced by his vote, that *doesn't* prove that Harry is a traitor. And if Jaz had been wrong and they were all faithfuls...

...then Mollie would be voting a faithful off either way. In which case, better to split with Harry, who (in her eyes) voted to split the pot with them all; than banish him and be left with Jaz whom she'd always trusted less.

She was wrong of course and it was hugely frustrating, especially how close she came, but it's not fair to say her vote is totally illogical. It's logical given her belief that they're all faithfuls. Also they should ditch the gross-out challenges exploiting animals etc, urgh.
