My friend's daughter forgot the word “dandelion” so she described it as “the one that explodes into wishes.”
I like that better.

Finally found the secret local snowdrop path in the woods, and it was beautiful! I felt like a woodland fairy walking along it #midlothian

Love this! The marks don’t belong to the machines - not at all.

There’s this never-ending debate about whether em dashes, semicolons, and colons have become signs of AI writing. As a result, many of us writers have stopped using them—swapping them for commas or reshaping sharp, effective sentences into something blander—to avoid suspicion. But AI was trained on the best of us. On millions of published works by real authors. It learned from our voices, our rhythms, our punctuation. And now we’re acting as if those marks somehow belong to machines. They don’t. Those tools were ours long before AI existed. Our teachers taught us how and when to use them, years before anyone imagined generative AI. So let’s take them back. Let’s use the full range of language with confidence. The em dash, the semicolon, the colon—they’re not signals of artificiality. They’re signs of craft. #WritingCommunity #writerslife

Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
When you omit me,
Chaos ensues.
With love, warmth, and wit,
The Oxford Comma

If we’re going to have a world in which most of the population is illiterate, we should at least bring back decorative gargoyles, stained-glass windows and painstakingly handcrafted illustrated manuscripts.

I was reading Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground with a group of 9th graders. One student announced, "There is no way someone could actually feel like this on the inside."
A classmate replied: "I feel like this every day." The first student was stunned. His understanding of reality shifted in that moment. Literature had done what it's supposed to do: reveal that other people live entirely within different internal worlds.

Our grandmothers didn’t talk about nervous system regulation. They lived it. Sewing, baking slowly, folding by hand. Repetition, quiet focus, hands busy, body safe. Calm was handmade.

My husband is a woodworker and no one buys anything in his workshop, he gets very upset. Recently he opened his store and people are interested in it, and now we have a baby boy and he made a cradle like this for him. He would be very happy if you could say a few kind words.
