Drew a tree because I felt like it

“Tomorrow’s Potatoes” is a good band name

Why are we not referring to him as Florida Man in these headlines? “Florida Man’s Combative Prime Time Speech” “Florida Man touts bringing country back from ‘brink of ruin’” “Florida Man Used Big Speech to Angrily Insist the Economy is Great”

That empty chair feels funerial. And Karoline Leavitt is the cousin who always misreads the room.

On one of our first dates, we watched The Princess Bride, a favorite movie for both of us. Years later, we had “as you wish” engraved in our wedding bands. Those chosen words rest against my skin every day.

Preach, kid.

Overheard in Bermuda: *Tourist Girl goes to grab wild rooster* Mother: You’re an idiot. That’s a rooster. We didn’t sign up for medical coverage.

The Cheese Squeaks would be a good band name

Very cool project out of Hendersonville, NC, where award-winning comic artists team up with Appalachians who experienced Helene to tell their stories. www.kickstarter.com/projects/app...

As soon as we figure out how to make a replicator, all the piles of cash the billionaires are hoarding will be useless.

Finished such a good book this morning. Thanks for your artistry, @avashianeema.bsky.social. Here are my thoughts. rachelrosolina.com/blog/another...

LinkedIn feels like the post-classroom version of Blackboard, especially with its suggested responses. I’m having “write a post and respond to two classmates” flashbacks.

Honored to have a flash fiction piece in the new issue of Heuristic Halo! hhpresscom.wordpress.com/2025/05/27/s... (Tremont Writers Workshop friends got a sneak peek at this one!)

🎉My essay "Forest Ghosts" came out in @hellbendermag.bsky.social today! See p. 17, and p. 68 for a Q&A with Me: hellbendermag.com/2025-issues/ 🎉 This one is about American chestnut trees and what women sacrifice, including the important women in my own life.

In a last-minute edit, IN legislators pushed through a budget bill that gives the governor sole appointing power of the IU trustees, makes the faculty board just an advisory body, and adds "diploma mill" requirements to tenured faculty. Academic freedom is in peril. This is not a democracy, y’all.

Walz: If you say you love freedom but you don't believe freedom is for everybody, then the thing you love is not freedom, it is privilege.

I don't know what is going on in my neighborhood but I grabbed my conch shell just in case.

The cruelty is the point
