"In writing these essays, I wanted the permission to withhold. This collection is so personal. PTSD is so personal. So, the gaps are deliberate. They allow me the opportunity to decide when to share which details."

one thing i keep thinking about is how there is simply no way to design a constitutional system that can resist authoritarian incursion if participants in that system do not actually care that much

For my first
@spitfirenews.com
piece, I investigated the tactics used to make stories and information disappear on social media platforms like Reddit. This piece is about Blake Lively, but it’s also about how to manipulate the masses about anything.

A while back, I gave the keynote address at a fundraiser for a domestic violence organization in Coeur D'Alene. I was seated at a table with Sheriff Noriss. My speech was about the failure of the police response in West Virginia when my ex-husband had been arrested for domestic battery. 1/

Happy Birthday to my BFF,
@maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social
! She’s the funniest person I know, the best dressed in any room, wicked loyal to those she loves, and she’s not just a good writer; she’s a good person too. I don’t have a sister, but Maggie is as close as I could get. 🧡

I texted a friend that, at my job, I hardly had any time to write, so I finished my book while I was on FMLA from my hysterectomy. I wrote "lol" at the end of my sentence. She said "Lord, I'm so sorry. What a horrible thing." That was when it hit me that maybe that wasn't an "lol" kind of message.

I’m finishing the copy edit for my second book, and I told
@maggiesmithpoet.bsky.social
that copy editors are magic. She used to be a copy editor, and she loved it, but I said, “I’m not a copy editor. I NEED a copy editor.” She said, “I respect that.” She was also definitely laughing at me.

Sometimes I get clothing ads in my feed, and I think it's something really cute, then click on the link before realizing that those overalls with mushrooms embroidered on the front, are, in fact, for 5-year-olds.

I received an advance copy of this book, and it’s so down-to-earth, accessible, craft-focused in practical ways, and inspiring. Kind of like Maggie herself!

My bf had his wisdom teeth out on Tuesday, and today my mom sent him a message via iCloud? (Idk what that is.) The message said that she hoped he felt better. Anyway, my mom and I have the same initials, so he thought it was me and wrote back “Love you 😘.” They barely know each other.
