@hydroottawa @KitchissippiOtt Who do we contact to a) figure out why it happened (according to what I saw, two wires exploded), and b) who do we talk to about compensation for fried electronics due to the explosion and subsequent fire?

@av_onlea As long as they don’t touch Milo and Otis, nobody gets hurt

@OliviaC07457533 Poetry. I’ve 10 chapbooks under my belt by various presses including one self-published so it’s not about a need to be published period. I just want the same opportunities for acknowledgement and reach as my contemporaries.

[Meowilyn @ShreekinViolet]

After four years and three followups, my MS will not be published. Let me be a lesson: don’t send your MS to one place and wait four years for a rejection, no matter how much of a perfect fit you think it is.

[Meowilyn @ShreekinViolet]

@KikiFolle @christinemcnair @JeffBlackman2k1 💯 As someone who has been published by Bywords over the years, I can assure you my interactions with BW have only ever been positive and encouraging.

[Meowilyn @ShreekinViolet]

@RiffsandMeaning Thanks. Misery loves company. I do feel better hearing from folks that over one year isn’t unheard of, tho it doesn’t make it right. Hopefully the next one snags you!

[Meowilyn @ShreekinViolet]

@KikiFolle @christinemcnair @JeffBlackman2k1 I wish everyone who works hard at their thing could properly be acknowledged. Five is a disgrace. I’m sorry that happened to you.

[Meowilyn @ShreekinViolet]

@JeffBlackman2k1 That’s so kind, Jeff.

[Meowilyn @ShreekinViolet]

@JeffBlackman2k1 I’ll try again somewhere else once I lick my wounds. 🙃

[Meowilyn @ShreekinViolet]

@JeffBlackman2k1 One I won’t name because I’m sure they have their reasons. So, for future reference, how long should one wait?

[Meowilyn @ShreekinViolet]

@KikiFolle Love this!

@robmclennanblog @JeffBlackman2k1 @KikiFolle @coveneditions @battleaxenat @canthius @pesbo shreeking violet is on hiatus until we can afford a new computer.

[Ukraine / Україна @Ukraine]

@ceeeejohnson I literally am telling that voice in my head to shut up because I’m trying to make a chapbook. I think the best way to fight imposter syndrome or silence that voice is to prove it wrong.
