New genre alert: My bad habit of doing talk-to-text with often embarrassing results has finally paid off. I would like to officially announce that instead of writing “literary fiction,” I do, in fact, write “literary fixins.”
Teaching @annettesclapsaddle.bsky.social Even as We Breathe this semester finally led me to watch Chaplin’s “The Great Dictator.” It’s a movie we need at this moment, not just the last scene.

Just finished teaching @annettesclapsaddle.bsky.social "Even As We Breathe." So much to talk about with this novel, especially how we think about the past and those who came before. medium.com/@interminabl...
@andrealrogers.bsky.social evicted me from a reading funk! Might do the same for you 😉! I am pretty slack about sharing what I am reading, but didn’t want to miss this share.
I’m curious, what section of Project 2025 is Swift’s A MODEST PROPOSAL? But, you know. Minus the satire. Just trying to stay up-to-date on the new administration’s policies.
Has anyone asked @realdollyparton.bsky.social what to do?
Join me in Provincetown this summer!

I’m always pleased to speak with Lilly Knoepp who does a remarkable job covering our region’s complexity. www.bpr.org/bpr-news/202...
Shoutout to my hairdresser: The guy in her chair before me started talking about Native Americans in a positive, yet uninformed manner. My anxiety shot up as I waited for her to tell him who I was, but she DID NOT rat me out and pull me into that conversation. 🙌 Yes, girl! Thank you! 😮💨
The nerd in me just sang! I’m watching a Netflix limited series (The Madness) and from the get-go, I thought, this is Invisible Man. A character just picked up the book as an Easter egg 7 episodes in. Still got it, baby!

Pop to the rescue!
Day 1 of PT is in the books! My physical therapist even gave me a recipe to make on Thanksgiving Day… for an ice pack 😅
For all of you who have had to hear me go on and on about the Appalachian Writers' Workshop through Hindman Settlement School, this is a perfect summary of what I have been trying to say for years! Starts at minute 8, but also give The Local Honeys some love in the segment.

Post-surgery shower was heavenly! But my poor husband has learned the true meaning of “for better or worse.”
Clocked in.
Wado-Sgi!
Sgi! (thank you)
Writers are flame throwers.
The deed is done and on the road to recovery now (after a big old burger or its equivalent. Haven’t eaten since yesterday 🤤).
