@mauricenow.bsky.social sending good vibes, looking forward to July! As a weird side note, Dinty Moore is teaching non fiction in section one so I am brainstorming the perfect “Easter egg” to send ahead to a friend in another section that I will miss seeing. I love surprises!

Excited to share this new offering from a talented team. It was started by a group of writers, one of them was an amazing writer I spent a week with at Tin House workshop this winter. substack.com/@subelo/note...

Key West Literary Workshop with the amazing writers in my cohort!

The joy continues. First @kenyonreview.bsky.social summer workshop with the incomparable @zzpacker.bsky.social and KCLehman. Then @storystudiochicago.bsky.social with amazing @danieljoseolder. And last week found out that I am accepted to Key West Literary Workshop for @mauricecarlosruffin !!! Yes!

Will find out in about a week if I got a waitlist spot for @kenyonreview.bsky.social summer adult workshop in person, 2 of us friends from @charlottelit.bsky.social authors lab were waitlisted for summer residency workshop. Cannot wait to find out if a spot opens up!!

I’m waitlisted for Kenyon Review Summer Workshop!! Never been so excited about a rejection EVER. I’ll know by April 11th if I get a spot!!

It is with desperation and determination that I say this out loud- cod liver oil and vitamins don’t treat measles. Vaccine preventable diseases are PREVENTABLE. There is a reason providers are leaving the professions that save lives. We are tired of this nonsense and bullshit.

I’m a fervent believer in public health and I think our public health entities in this country are about to be dismantled completely. HHS has posted a site for Women’s health that is written in paternalistic, misogynistic language. There is no part w/accurate info on repro rights

I’m excited to say after 4 years working on a manuscript and revisions in Authors Lab w/@charlottelit.bsky.social I’m ready to introduce a feminist dystopian fiction worthy of being a banned book. One can hope and dream to have a game changer. I hope, I dream 🩷
