So lucky to have @PlayOnWords_SJ and @citylights feature "Not a Gardener," in their shows this year. The story was inspired by my grandfather's backyard garden. The piece even got repurposed into a podcast!

Check out #POWSJ co-founder and publicity director @Juliahj's essay, "Scouting," in the latest issue of @cutleafjournal

[Cutleaf @cutleafjournal]

"We had created space in our house, in our hearts and in our bodies for Scout, and now we didn’t know what to do with it. I felt hollow."

In “Scouting,” Julia Halprin Jackson (@Juliahj) writes about the decisions that our cells sometimes make without us. https://t.co/yFDfW2pWSJ

UGLY BETTY x NORMAL PEOPLE

Latinx Katie thinks she's in ❤️when she bonds with 🇮🇪 Aidan online over a love of lit.

He can never know she loved his brother Cian at 19.

When she sees Cian again, she must put the past to rest or it might be 💔 4 all.
