“...the earliest account is from our foremother, Rhoda. You know her better as Red Riding Hood. That’s right, she was a real person. Back then, it was still a handbasket, but more on that later.”

“The air pressure felt ominous the morning my husband died, like the entire universe was shrinking to accommodate the loss. But it had only been a thunderstorm, seasonal and expected.”

Read “The Obsolete Model,” my heartfelt speculative story in @ZoeticPress Issue 35

@DeborahJShore Can you use an artful unit of measurement to describe this, like “stone’s throw”?

[Katie R. Yen @KatieDoWrite]

Happy to learn that one of my favorite books, Yōko Ogawa’s “The Memory Police “, is being adapted into a film starring Lily Gladstone, with a script written by Charlie Kaufman. If you haven’t…Read the book first!

Just heard that one of my fave podcasts, @heavyweight is looking for a new home. If you’ve never listened, I recommend Episode 51 about a (true) 500-year-old curse, exorcism and cabbages…

My book club buddies are having a gift-wrapped book swap, so I used the October issue of @bookpage magazine to wrap mine!

Fun fact: the cover feature for October is Alix E. Harrow’s #StarlingHouse, which also happens to be our December read 💜📚

This year, I said goodbye to my mother, father-in-law and uncle. I wrote “Chronicle of Constellations,” a poem, in their memory, published in The Literary Hatchet. Read for free after dl thru the link 💜 https://t.co/eK83fOA9W4

You can support the rights of millions of innocent Palestinians and still take a moral stance against heinous violence and brutality.

I know, because I do.

[Shai Davidai @ShaiDavidai]

Let me be as clear as I can:

This is not about being pro-Israel or pro-Palestine.

This is about making a clear distinction between legitimate resistance and unspeakable crimes against humanity.
