@thephysicsgirl Watching her cry made me cry. We love you Dianna & Kyle. Hope things start getting better!

Dianna decided to shave her head to make it easier on herself for her journey with #LongCovid and #MECFS. Many people struggling with this disease choose to do this if bed-bound for extended periods of time, like Dianna has been. Hopefully she can avoid crashes, and reduce the amount of energy it takes to wash and maintain her hair every week. Millions of people are suffering from this disease. -Kyle (Dianna’s husband)

@thejumbles I 100% mis-read this as "chicken-pox pie". Time for a break, me thinks.

My first-ever chicken pot pie is baking in the oven and I’ve never been more anxious in my entire life.

@thejumbles Also his lyrics in The Weakerthans. Golden.

Who are some of your favorite singers? Not necessarily the “prettiest,” but the ones whose voices you love to hear? I’ll start: Joanna Newsom, Freddie Mercury, Joni Mitchell, Nina Simone, Caetano Veloso, Otis Redding, Sufjan Stevens, Tom Waits

@thejumbles John K Samson. Best lyrics ever.

When I experience train delays or other travel issues, I try to think of myself as Bilbo Baggins reluctantly embarking upon an unexpected journey, and that helps a little.

Rejections are definitely one of the worst parts of the job. Here’s a great thread about why editors might reject books (and sadly, yes, not having enough time to read can be one of them, among many others)!

#MSWL Also, if you use science as an explanation for anything in your manuscript, you must be exceptionally diligent, I don’t do pseudoscience.

#mswl I’m generally not a good match for predictable romance or the paranormal. I think stories where the protagonist has to have a loved one maimed for them to reach their climactic epiphany feel cheap.

#MSWL Make me laugh! I especially love witty banter. I prefer stories that convey subtle wisdom that teach something or leave my perspective forever altered and also well-rounded, unexpected characters.

#MSWL I love histories about real, bad@$$, quirky, or hilarious women who defied societal expectations. Come at me with a (well-researched) story about Julie d'Aubigny, Wu Zetian, Cheng I Sao, or Anne Bonny and Mary Read's unusual friendship, anything in that vein.

#mswl Now back open to submissions in a limited capacity. Sabrina loves to learn and is looking for fresh perspectives; come at me, authors from historically marginalized backgrounds (anything from non-fiction to crazy fantasy).

@thejumbles Me too!

Friends, I have a confession to make: I LOVE an em-dash. *all of my authors groan in confirmation*

I’m a mother of six, and a Mormon. I have a good understanding of arguments surrounding abortion, religious and otherwise. I've been listening to men grandstand about women's reproductive rights, and I'm convinced men actually have zero interest in stopping abortion. Here's why…
