Always up for a new list, and this is a fun one. Includes links!

Oh, just @emilyrinkema.bsky.social, absolutely nailing it.

"She keeps the quilt to remind herself what I’m capable of. She tells the ladies at church that I’m dormant, like a seed—so small but so canny. They ask if I get enough to eat."

Oh, this. This one. Read this now!

Sometimes you stumble across an interview at just the right time! The great Diane Gottlieb interviews wondrous Sarah Freligh!

The Trump Administration wants us to think of Trump's racism as a character flaw grandpa sometimes sadly lets express itself too aggressively, when the reality is that the white nationalism is the governing, organizing logic of his administration that all Republicans are complicit with.

"I know that ...he thinks a side effect of climate change is that chipmunks are getting larger, that he wants to put a fence in his back yard, that cantaloupe is the best fruit, that he thinks his wife is having an affair... In return, Manny knows nothing about me." READ @emilyrinkema.bsky.social!!

I just finished reading Pardon Me for Moonwalking last night (loved it, loved it), so I was super interested to read this interview. Great questions, fabulous answers. And thank you @patriciaqbidar.bsky.social for your wonderful characters and stories. 🥰

Whoop whoop!

Well, this is something new. The venerable Painted Bride Quarterly, to which I'd submitted a story I love, asked to record the editorial discussion of the story. That's how "Colfax" ended up on their Slush Pile podcast. 😬😬😬

Such a creative treatment of a familiar yarn. @kazbarwrites.bsky.social in The Disappointed Housewife!

I LOVE the way this one takes its time; or rather the way @lmariharris.bsky.social masterfully spins it forth.

"You wouldn’t risk losing your “soulmate”—your word, not mine— would you?" A lil valentine from @jacqdoyle.bsky.social in @brettpribble.bsky.social's Ghost Parachute!

"She hasn’t gone to bed, gets by with cat naps on the sofa, her head bobbing up and down during General Hospital, those five-minute increments the only time I can relax and see beauty in the baby’s face." Holy toledo! @shastagrant.bsky.social in Ghost Parachute!

"That was a mess-up." As my kids used to say when they needed a do-over.

She said, “Just because he’s brilliant and sexy doesn’t mean I’d do anything; stop being so insecure." My old friend @mattcashion.bsky.social in @theflreview.bsky.social ! cah.ucf.edu/floridarevie...

"Did you hear about the Black man? The Black woman asleep in her home? Startled by a home invader who shot…wait…that’s not how this goes. A warrant, a right, a wrong place, wrong time. Another body, another girl, another name to say." READ @avitusbcarle.bsky.social saying what needs saying.

This guy is so good.

This is so important. The reason we’re seeing panic and backtracking from the WH is bc of the valiant, disciplined efforts of peaceful protestors and observers in Minneapolis. Their recordings, along with tens of thousands of peaceful protestors, exposes their lies. May the next city be as strong.

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz. It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”. It started with intolerance and hate speech. It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye. Remember.

It's like thunder. Lightening. The way one hits is frightening. Not frightening. Something this side of...

Cowboy Jamboree says so.

"She trotted to you across the field. Stood for the leather halter to fit over her ears, the carrots, the brush at the crosstie. Old enough to ride but still. The pain in her legs."

Alex Pretti, the man killed by federal agents today in Minneapolis, appears to have been a registered nurse, an athlete, a son and a brother, with ties to Colorado and Wisconsin. Here is a photo he used for several accounts.
