Check out my story "Good Roosters" at Pithead Chapel!

It's a short story about an urban farm with too many roosters, and also about masculinity. The people in the story are fictional, but the chickens are all real.

Good Roosters

"I picture teeth glinting in the dark, eyes yellow as egg yolks. Some nights, when the AC quits and the house goes all hush-hush, I swear I can hear it gnawing at the wood, at the delicate bones of our place." Beautifully chilling. @sarpsozdinler.bsky.social www.cleavermagazine.com/the-thing-wi...

Since the map post: a chart in Emberwold now draws on your map rather than uncovering it. Read one and its roads and towns are inked onto the parchment, each town named with a question mark. The ground stays blank until you walk it. A chart says where, not what.

Aye, tha pithead was a flutter
Tha wives gathered ta mutter
Yorkshire puddings almost sacred
Claim it's not then yer dead
Tha cloth cap n whippets bar
Tripe n caviars a step too far
Tha saathern jesses words
Floated like turds
In't Arkwrights privy bowl
Beer dusted in coal
Yorkshire bred

After decades of frustration, demolition of Llanhilleth’s derelict pithead baths is now expected by July 2027. 🏚️

Residents hope the site can become a green space for the community. But can the council deliver on its promises?

Wales: Bathers (c. 1970s), Valerie Ganz. Ganz painted the pithead baths where miners washed the coal dust from their bodies together, an ordinary, communal nudity rarely given this kind of tenderness. Rhondda Heritage Park. #nudemale 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 🇬🇧

The first abandoned place I photographed on film was a coal mine under the sea: Ikeshima, Nagasaki, worked from 1959 to 2001. A stranger's phone warned me: "You can go, but you can't come back." I went anyway, and these are from that day. The story is in the reply.
