#Caturday Phoebe on unmade bed.

More context on this #Artemis II image: * This is the night side, lit by moonlight. You can see city lights in Spain & Portugal, & a sliver of day at lower right * The Sun is entirely behind Earth, which makes it a kind of solar eclipse, but w/ Earth doing the eclipsing instead of the Moon: ☀️🌍🚀🌕

On Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear arguments about birthright citizenship. Here, for the NYTimes and with Kate Masur, I offer a view of what those of you who think historically should be listening for. www.nytimes.com/2026/03/30/o...

#booksky I've got the Kang book on the top of by TBR pile. I also have Kitamura's book "Intimacies" there, which I picked up when I saw her in Cleveland last year. Always too many books to read .. I'm a Karen Russell fan too.

I'm looking forward to the group reading of Beowulf, beginning January 20, through A Public Space. #booksky #beowulf #epic📚💙📚

Stephen Miller's statements reminds me of the Melian Dialogue from #Thucydides: Miller said: “We live in a world, in the real world ... that is governed by strength, that is governed by force, that is governed by power. These are the iron laws of the world since the beginning of time.”

From Laurie Anderson: “Instead of a period at the end of each sentence, there should be a tiny clock that tells you how long it took you to write that sentence.” Writers can relate. #booksky #writingconmunity 💙📚💙🖋️💙📚🖋️📚

Here’s a message for 2026. Happy New Year, everyone. #booksky

#booksky This excellent column by @samanthaellis.bsky.social brings up aspects of #wutheringheights I've been pondering since my recent reread. 📚💙📚💙🖋️💙🖋️📚🖋️

Bluesketeers?

Christmas in the East Wing, 2023. 🎄

#wutheringheights The ending: Heathcliff achieved his revenge and gained control of both estates … and then Cathy’s ghost seems to call him, and he just dies? #booksky 📚💙📚🖋️💙🖋️

I'm rereading #wutheringheights because I saw that a movie is coming out. It's darker and stranger than I recalled. Heathcliff's unknowable origins play a very large role in the story, which strikes me as a revenge plot. Anyone else revisiting #bronte? #booksky 💙📚💙🖋️💙🖋️📚🖋️

This photo is from The Guardian. I visited Midway aboard a Coast Guard buoy tender more than fifty years ago and saw the albatross mating dance. I'm moved to think I might have seen this very bird, Wisdom, in 1977. 🦉Birds!🦉 #birdsky

This is my Christmas story. As long as the journal keeps it online, I'll post a link to it every December. It's short. It's political. It might break your heart. Enjoy! #writingcommunity #booksky 📚💙📚🖋️📚🖋️💙🖋️

Similarly, I was told that my NEA fellowship application would be canceled unless I agreed not to support "gender ideology." I was going to withdraw my application, but the Authors Guild advised that I keep it active, since the dictate was unconsitutional. Then the whole thing was canceled.

I found this good letter from my teacher, the late Jim Houston. Words I needed as I’m working on one more revision. “Persistence is the name of our game… Keep the faith. Keep in touch. Onward, onward.” #booksky #writingcommunity
