Huge news! I’m beyond thrilled to announce that @KentuckyPress will be publishing my book Sky Watch: The Untold Story of America’s Greatest Show Horse in May 2023 as part of their Horses in History series. I can’t imagine a better home for this project. (Photo by Doug Shiflet)

This book manuscript brought to you by Cape Cod kettle chips and "Amazon Jungle Sounds" white noise.

My horse has no respect for personal space.

I'm in the "should've ordered a medium" phase of postpartum shopping.

Me: Would you like to see a 2.5-minute long video of my six-month-old eating a banana? Everybody: No. Me:

@lillydancyger Playing the Whore by @melissagira. Smart research and reporting by the best sex worker-turned-investigative journalist in the world.

End-of-semester feels from an intro to creative writing student: "I am really proud of my work. I don’t know that it's good enough to be in a real, published collection one day, but it's exactly how I want it. I’m excited to keep writing." MISSION ACCOMPLISHED.

I tweet for the fourth time in six months because this seven-year-old YouTube video of Agility Mastiff is still my favorite thing on the internet. youtube.com/watch?v=GjqtwN…

I'm super grateful to @JournalFlying for giving my essay "Damline" a Best of the Net nod. It's my first! Pardon me while I blush.

@MillinersModel It is always ok to leave a job that doesn't work! The narrative around academic jobs is so different from the rest of the working world. I'm leaving a VAP position after this semester. Counting down the days.

My amazing students in @FCApogee are working their tails off to encourage @FranklinCollege students to submit their creative writing and artwork by October 31! Franklinites, take heed. apogee.submittable.com/submit

@TrostleMae @JournalFlying Thanks so much for reading!! You're so sweet.

@emmahudelson @JournalFlying I loved reading this! It took my breath away at the end. Beautiful writing, "Even when a fly landed on my face and crawled his own figure eights around my freckles, I kept still." So much fun to read and to learn!

I love seeing my work in @JournalFlying alongside other fine midwestern writers! This piece is dedicated to women, Saddlebred horses, and what we learn from each other. It includes my grandmother, my daughter's namesake. Let the damline continue. flyingislandjournal.org/2021/05/damlin…

Thanks to @JournalFlying for publishing this piece, and to @bethbates for the smart edits!

@blackquisition @yvel_c YES! Congratulations! Thanks for being my role model as I head into dissertation year with a little one on the way.

Today, I learned that Aretha's 1968 Grammy-winning hit is "Chain of Fools" and not "Chain of Food." Two months ago, I learned that Stevie Nicks' "Edge of Seventeen" features a "white-winged dove," not a "one-winged dove." What other icons have I been miss-singing for decades?

@BorrowedHorses I would have done the same.

@BorrowedHorses That's pure gold. How did you respond?
