We return tomorrow with two great prose pieces, but before then, make time to read our recent contributor Janice Leadingham's (@thehagsoup) tenderly grotesque micro, "Creatures of the EZ-STOP," in @flashfroglitmag. 🔗below!
Soooooo good!
"The Baby is 5000 years old, she could’ve known almost anyone you’ve ever heard about, met them and their ghosts, but probably didn’t." 🍼 You wouldn't want to watch trash in front of Janice Leadingham's (@thehagsoup) The Baby in The Bulb Region today. bulbregion.com/There-s-Not-So…
Today, I have a story in @grammarianmag, which spun out of a tweet typo commenting on @amhcrane87’s stories in @BulbRegion. So while this is a story about freedom, it’s also about community. And fate. And sex leashes. Please read “Uncleash.” themilitantgrammarian.wordpress.com/2026/06/03/unc…
@James_CallanNZ Only known heir to Bubbs McTubbleman
"How do you reconcile with this, being spurted out of the cosmic womb, and for what? I’m eating lentil soup on the coldest day of the year. It’s a family recipe. Not my family." 🪳 Spencer Eckart returns to The Bulb Region with three introspective poems. bulbregion.com/Three-Terrors-…
@amhcrane87 @tlkncrt Seen it at last earlier this year at a midnight student matinee after all these years, and I’ve been thinking about it from time to time since.
@amhcrane87 @tlkncrt Oh man, I feel so stupid but I had no clue. Good to keep in mind for the future posts. Also, totally unrelated but, is that the incredible Nighshift in your profile pic?

@PDMwriter @sarpsozdinler Welcome to the region, Peter! ❤️
Thank you to the gracious and supportive @sarpsozdinler and @BulbRegion for sharing a piece of suburban fury. x.com/BulbRegion/sta…
"[I] don’t trust him, she said, he kills things for a living now, got a pest control van, see, he’s still a bully [...]" 🚚 Don't miss Peter DeMarco's (@PDMwriter) breathless, one-sentence story, "The Good Guy," in The Bulb Region today. bulbregion.com/The-Good-Guy-b…
"I’ve never seen an airplane / I didn't feel responsible / for holding up. / I was an anxious child. / Now I’m an adult who measures / life in lengths of road." 📺 There's plenty of truth in @catherineweiss's poems in The Bulb Region today. bulbregion.com/Three-Poems-by…
