@JcScharl I come back to this same thought almost daily—living small. Walking to our neighborhood bodega and befriending the family who owns it. Talking with our neighbors. Thank you for the reminder. ❤️

@JcScharl The thing is, I knew what this would be and yet I clicked on it

[Hallie Waugh @HallieWaugh]

@JcScharl Thrilled for you, Jane!!

@anxiouscook Do you love the dress?

I don’t know how to explain this but Bermuda is the least spiritual of the grasses. It has everything to do with how it feels underfoot. That’s all I can say. I don’t make the rules.

Hi Twitter. I know I only come here when I need something, but here I am, needing recs. I’m working on a piece of fiction that incorporates folklore/legend/myth. What should I be reading as I work on this? Madeline Miller is a fave of mine obviously, but who else?

@pfunkfabulous @OfficialBlueyTV Yessss now I can watch new episodes long after my toddler loses interest and starts tearing the house apart. (It’s not Bluey’s fault, to be clear… he loses interest with all TV.)

@JcScharl Joan was among our girl names if we had had a girl. I love her. ❤️

At what point in one’s gardening journey do seeds and sprouts stop feeling like magic? We did our first garden last year, and still this year I am utterly bewitched.

So glad this essay found a home. Thank you, @curatormagazine and @shemaiahng for giving it a home!

Hallie Waugh (@HallieWaugh) braids longing into the landscape of Santa Fe, New Mexico and finds solace in Anthony Doerr’s Cloud Cuckoo Land in this gorgeous essay for The Curator.

@JcScharl @HootenWilson Jane, YES. I’m so grateful my parents encouraged me to pursue what I loved. When I shared with my mom my desire to go to grad school for poetry, she said, “You will never, ever regret education.” 🙌🏼
