The comments on the post had been disabled even though I published two hours before midnight. Might have been an East coast timeline, oops, better be mindful about that next time!
Oh! I am disappointed on your behalf, Siw, and I will be sure to request the Big Bosses at SmallStack (aka the Robins) include the time (with time zone), not just the day, of closure on the next Seed Pod collaboration.
You *could* consider this snafu as a rejection on your road to 100... I'm here to embrace the rejection with you :-)
Have you considered submitting a creative nonfiction piece (up to 3,000 words) to Inlandia's online journal? InlandiaJournal.NET is still open for art and creative nonfiction submissions for its fall issue through September 30th at midnight Pacific.
As a sort of tangential post script — dedicated to my friend and SmallStack Team member Cheshir — check out this map of nonbook items available from public libraries across the US (https://americanlibrariesmagazine.org/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/library-of-things.pdf). Turns out the LA public library system lends ukuleles, VR headsets, museum admissions, power tools, sewing machines, US citizenship kits, nature exploration gear, and more ([maybe paywalled, sorry] https://www.latimes.com/travel/story/2022-08-17/8-little-known-things-you-can-check-out-from-l-a-libraries-that-arent-books). And at certain libraries in the LA system, you can join the Bureau of Nooks and Crannies (you gotta read about it: https://www.lapl.org/events/exhibits/creators-residence-andy-crocker/bureau-of-nooks-and-crannies). Enjoy!
Sewing machines!
I love the way kids use the library—it’s like book Disneyland!
Yes, back when you got "books" of tix, with the E-ticket rides the biggest and fastest!
This is such a great take on libraries, Erin. I'm glad you shared!
I just made it before the deadline expired. Here’s my contribution to the Seed Pod collaboration:
