@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. ❤️

The restoration of American society depends on a renewal of folk culture at the lowest possible levels: families, parishes, blocks, neighborhoods. Get together. Make things. Tell your stories well. Create local cults, with festivals. Honor small things greatly.

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

Fun announcement that I’ve been so excited to share: I’m taking some time off writing to work on my lifestyle vlog—check it out here!! bit.ly/2BqXW0V

@JcScharl Thrilled for you, Jane!!

Heading to NYC for the opening night of Sonnez Les Matines!! Happy Mardi Gras to all you good people.

@anxiouscook Do you love the dress?

Should I get rid of the soft dress strangers always ask me if I’m pregnant in?

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.

@shemaiahng My people.

This is my first time in the true South and people are very very nice. It is a complete reality shift. People WANT you to talk to them.

@yeehallelujah Ooh, nope. Adding to my list!

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.)

@OfficialBlueyTV @HallieWaugh best news I’ve heard in a long time! 💙

The studio is so excited to launch new Blueys here in Australia today! We had a screening with the crew. We’re so proud of the new episodes, and we can't wait to share them with the rest of you soon 💙 Thank you so much for welcoming us into your home again. Love the Bluey Team

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

Happy Feast of St Joan of Arc! She is my patron and she is amazing. Deo gratias!

@AnneliseJolley Annie!!

Today, we're a small but mighty team—and we've been busy reading submissions and finding new stories to publish. We want to hear from you if you think you have an idea that's perfect for us. New-to-us writers are encouraged to reach out. More: longreads.com/2022/01/24/cal… Thank you!

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!

History. Herstory.

@CwKatherine @EkstasisMag Thank you, Katherine!

Thrilled to have a poem out today ⁦@EkstasisMag⁩ about the way fear and love for our children consume us. Night Feeding — Ekstasis Magazine ekstasismagazine.com/poetry/2022/ni…

@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.” 🙌🏼

@HootenWilson I wanted to be a poet at age 8 and my parents said go for it. Guess what? I'm a poet. *AND* I bill a lot of dollars per hour as a freelance writer and editor. Being excellent at something is rarely, maybe never, totally impractical.

On Sunday a girl in Bible class told me she's majoring in business when she goes to college because it's the most versatile degree. Afterwards I talked with her parents who told me they've dissuaded her from being a poet because it's impractical. She's eight years old.
