some excerpts from this piece, which was sparked in part by the 'ethics of working at lockheed martin' discourse that made the rounds on this app a while ago (say wallahi rn)
i wrote about identity politics and what it means to be an asian-american striver in an era where success and status is tied to techno-facism. "The American Dream In The War Machine" is up on my substack!

Thanks to @bustalklit for including my micro CNF about High School Debate in your inaugural issue. Exciting to have a space for my little slice of nostalgia. calameo.com/read/0078793192c…

Thought this was a good one to start the year on! My poem ‘HARD LAUNCH’ was included as part of a teaser in the lead-up to the… hard launch… of the first issue of @bustalklit 💛
Full poem below & link to the website with work from two other writers, including @megannn_lynne 😍
“we are perpetual performers
giving Sabbaths up for Lent
for the grace of strangers’ slapping hands”
We're Charlie Judd's debut publication, and we couldn't be prouder.
Read Platonic Allegory (2) now: bustalklit.wixsite.com/home/…
“Skinny is a bootstrap sort-of religion:
you die for your own sins.”
“Self-Portrait in Semi-Starvation Neurosis I” by Megan Williams (@megannn_lynne) blows us away. Read this haunting piece on the BUS TALK website here:

SUPRISE!
we're stoked to be dropping a small selection of pieces we love from bus talk issue 1 before we roll out the official issue (coming soon). keep an eye on the website today! 👁️
works will be from a pair of writers we're obsessed with:
@megannn_lynne
@devonwebbnz
and charlie judd, who doesn't have a twitter
❤️
drop date is likely to be december-ish! your EICs are sooo on theme of the mag (stressed highschoolers with trainwreck personal lives). thanks for your patience, guys. 🫂🫂
the sexual tension between debate kids (ld) and the card they can recite by memory (winter and leighton 99)
i promise we didn't steal your poems and run! (or- drive off, for bus talk). your EICs are hard at work creating issue 1, which has a lotta special graphics going on ;) but we're also swamped with college applications and the start of tournament season, so please be patient!
