New Kristin in interview form!

I know folks are in panic mode, but please pace yourselves. This has been coming for years - they laid the foundation in the 70s, it’s been coming in earnest since 2016, and we’ve been on a speed run since 2020. Rest. Fortify yourself. Love your people. We’ll fight again tomorrow ❤️

So where does Bluesky stand in the middle of all this madness?

This was on the board in one of my classes on Thursday, 11/07. I told my students I wasn't at a place to manage a class conversation about the election, but if they needed to talk, we could outside of class. I hope something positive comes out of these days.

Read this wonderful piece by @barlowadams.bsky.social in SugarSugarSalt sugarsugarsalt.org/2024/11/10/v...

“We can disagree and still love each other unless your disagreement is rooted in my oppression and denial of my humanity and right to exist” - James Baldwin

If you're part of the writing community, could you please holla and RT so we can find each other? I want to build up what we once had on Twitter (but better) #writers #writing

It doesn’t have to be either or.

This one paragraph was so worth reading the Jezebel article.

My debut collection of stories is The Clarity of Hunger, about which writer Sabrina Orah Mark said: "Reading Cheryl Pappas's stories is to take a bite and to suddenly know the unknowable so intimately it's like you just took a bite out of your very own heart."

"'We were little girls with cancer in our blood. I met you in a book when I was you and you were me.'" Completely floored by this remarkable piece of writing. Wow. The brilliant @bayveen.bsky.social in @sugarsugarsaltlit.bsky.social 💙💙💙 sugarsugarsalt.org/2023/09/29/t...

UNC students were in a lockdown AGAIN today. This will not end until we vote out every NRA supported politician and make it clear that we are not sacrificing any more lives! Enough is enough.

Why are we made to feel so much and so deeply? Why doesn't this mellow down as we age? It's really hard some days. I wish I could use these moments to write but I’m not that practical.
