Sounds amazing. Are you organizing it? What are you sharing?

[radiantfracture]

Yeah, it's my semi-regular gig. But as at now I have no idea what we should read as prompts. Usually I use an image, a poem maybe a little scrap of prose.

Any ideas?

I had the thought of making the theme decolonial love coz valentine's day. I could do "Love is a Moontime Teaching" by Billy Ray Belcourt ... I feel like I need more inspiration.

Oooh, I like that though!

I like this one a lot:
