this likely sounds like madness to some, but i got some of my best writing done when G was a baby. i wasn't sleeping, anyway. looking forward to finishing some books when baby #2 is small!

@NebeolisaO actually hadn't, thank you!!!

@JustSayMJ You've probably read this one: lithub.com/ada-limon-on-h…

y'all know of any craft talks or essays on ordering the manuscript?

gratitude to @splitlipthemag for publishing my poem, 'Of Shade' in their September issue splitlipthemag.com/poetry/0925/mi…

feeling so proud to have been among the finalists for the National Poetry Series this year! eager to read more from this group & huge congratulations to the winners ❣️ nationalpoetryseries.org/congratulation…

seems appropriate to revisit on day 1 of #thesealeychallenge

i hate being expected to always empathize with and extend grace to those who don’t see me as a person to begin with. to the point where i’m supposed to comfort *them* as they struggle to “listen” and “learn”
