Excited for a little flash piece in this issue. So grateful for the publication! And for the development and feedback during @SmokeLong summer.

@PunyFingers @HennepinReview @SmokeLong Such a beautiful story! I loved this when I read it in the Smokelong Summer workshop, I'm so happy you found a home for it.

@4PLATO4 We’re 7 years into needing a post move book organization party.

@TheHollyJones @4PLATO4 Like virgin or extra virgin, right? I think we all know which goes to the winner.

Either this mama has had half a beer to many or @TheAmandaGorman really is THAT inspiring. #imcrying #yourecrying

@FarNorthRunner @4PLATO4 Of course they aren’t intentionally seeking out rich, white people to fill the extra available vaccine slots, but they also aren’t creating opportunities for anyone except those with connections and resources to get on the list. You know, the way oppression generally works.

Is 2021 better than 2020 only because we knew in advance how sh**ty it would be?

[Virginia Nelson @Virginney]

@revelguy Well, I had to teach 2nd graders all day, so depends on your perspective. But at least I was comfortable

Re-jama (v.): when you wear your pajamas all day Monday, take a shower, and put those pj’s right back on.

I made my husband laugh harder than I have ever made him laugh in our entire 10 years of marriage (in fact he cried) because I sneezed and hit my head on the desk. What does this say about our relationship, @FarNorthRunner?

[Virginia Nelson @Virginney]

@FarNorthRunner I hope this doesn’t reflect your political alignment...

@lizzwinstead Mary was my very first writing instructor and helped to foster a love for writing that I didn’t know I had. Know she made a positive impact on me and I’m sure so many others.

[Virginia Nelson @Virginney]

@lizzwinstead As a college freshman, your sister taught my first creative writing class & is the reason I took a 2nd class, a 3rd, 4th, & so on & 16 years later, the reason I’m once again writing every single day. So fuck the fascist & anyone not fighting to make healthcare work for her & all.

7yo: will you play Star Wars with me?
Husband: (laying in bed) sure. I’ll be Han Solo frozen in carbonite.

Never realized my husband was actually as old as my mom until he tried to join instagram.

Tough parenting decision #13,498: no sour cream. do I let the 7yo dip quesadilla in vanilla yogurt

Here's the transcript of Trump's response when he was asked what are his top priorities for a second term.

It's either the first day of hunting season or we lost another tribute. #hungergames #huntinggame

@FarNorthRunner Also, I pushed some F keys and now the computer narrates everything you do. #oops

[Virginia Nelson @Virginney]

@FarNorthRunner I had to turn off the computer because the mouse stopped working and it wouldn't go to sleep. This is why I need you.
