Just submitted a flash fiction piece about a dystopian, yet hopeful, future. I tweaked it a little, read it out loud again, and thought, "I really like this story." And I do! Hoping the editors like it too.

Well, that's interesting - I decided this morning to make this soup and just had it for lunch! I've made it a zillion times. One of my faves for sure.
Exciting!
Seems weird to be excited about snow in Colorado, but we've had virtually none all winter. Just dry, dry, dry and 70 degree days. Even the cactus in my garden was suffering. You shouldn't have to water a cactus, imho, but that's what I did.
Yay! Snow! It's amazing...and beautiful out there. Glad I canceled my meeting and am staying home this morning.
I continue to be gobsmacked at 1) how common this formulation is 2) how antisemitic and generally bigoted it is 3) and how for all the talk of anti-semitism this is never cited as an example even though it’s quite literally the original incarnation.

Can confirm this. I was looking up someone else's book a while ago on Amazon and got an error message. Same thing happens with my own books. Just #FYI #BookSky - I had a suspicion this was the cause.

It's 73 degrees here in Colorado! You got our winter.

Ha - sounds like the beginning of a story!
It is indeed...in fact, March arrives Sunday, as I just realized!
The smoking gun
Sorry - should have attached my comment to the NPR story. Will try again!
