My husband gave me these earrings a week ago, on my birthday, and I lost one the same day. Today it appeared at my feet on the sidewalk, not broken, not very close to my house, and not hidden in the 10” of snow we got Friday. Magic and wonder.

I am humbled to be among these incredible artists, especially as we remember and honor Rev. Peter Gomes.

Very grateful for this book. Dr. @jolijensen offers a path away from turmoil and towards writing by focusing on the work, rather than the self. "To test this, see how well your reasons for not writing work when they are applied to building a shelf or weeding a garden."

when my wife isn't immediately thrilled for me when I tell her that this particular rejection format means somebody at the mag kinda liked my story but not really all that much

Whatever it is, don’t be afraid of its plenty. Joy is not made to be a crumb.

Grateful and honored to have my short essay "The State Fair" in @cnfonline Sunday Short Reads #189. Many thanks to Hattie Fletcher for a very helpful editing process, and to Anna Hall for the artwork.

People will really say "girls suck at math lol" and then be like look at this amazing quilt my grandmother designed by doing the quadratic formula in her head

Esther cannot forget Paul Sorbin—her high school English teacher who had a breakdown during her junior year and could not finish the spring semester. Years later, she sees him again. Read what happens next in Kris Willcox’s “In May," here: https://t.co/GbJhwG0SAx.

parenting classes should focus less on diapers and more on what to do when you’re sad but still have to pretend to be a tugboat

@ke_carver Thank you so much, and I’m pacing myself - I have a lot more words to say about it! I appreciate the support.

Wrote 1029 words about getting covid after avoiding it for 2+ years. #1000wordsofsummer

@lilyburana Thanks, Lily! It only took (nearly) 50 years, but I think it's finally sinking in. Good luck on today's writing!

[Jennifer L. Hollis @JenniferLHollis]

Wrote 1001 words on the theme of: There's no prize for trying to be sober with no supports or community. Maybe #1000wordsofsummer has a similar theme? Anyway, these two weeks give me joy every year. Good job, everyone!
