I'm gutted by this review in LARB. @tripleMMeaning , a woman I 've never met, seems to share my DNA. We are kindred. She gets me and Lydia and that means everything. lareviewofbooks.org/article/subver… via @lareviewofbooks

@brevitymag Just noticed the big Twitter icon on Brevity Blog and had to click. Rustle the little bluebird's feathers. Here we are, tenaciously squeezing the last good drops out of this thing. Glad to see life here, recreating out of the disorder. Relentless.

"Everything depends on how relentlessly one forces from this experience the last drop, sweet or bitter, it can possibly give. This is the only real concern of the artist, to recreate out of the disorder of life that order which is art." ~ James Baldwin

@santafelife @keithedwards Key word here. Girls. As in children. Those little creatures who tend to look to adults for guidance.

@keithedwards I don’t care. The girls knew exactly what they were doing.

BREAKING: Elon Musk is in the Epstein files.

@WholePlateWay At least get him a custom silicone mask with open eyes.

So sleepy he can sleep anywhere. These people are not happy.

Many thanks to @Sunlight_Press for publishing my review of @CMulliganWalsh's achingly beautiful memoir.

@RonFilipkowski But what about the price of Kool Aid?

Better refill your prescriptions now, because you may not be able to get them soon.

@BillyDees Lots to think about here. Love your take on Snow White.

@marlene4719 @Acyn “Person, woman, man, camera, GROCERIES."

Trump: “I won on groceries. Very simple word, groceries. Like almost, you know, who uses the word. I started using the word, the groceries.” And this is the imbecile you made president. Shame on you all. @Acyn

Thank you, @FindYourHarbor for including my tiny tattoo in your #tattoosoflove project.

@DawnSteffler @InShortLit @StephLiberatore May your daughter find her perfect fit. ❤️

My first CNF re: helping my trans daughter buy a bra is out in the world today. Another piece from my collection about the challenges/joys of parenting queer kids. Much ❤️ to everyone at @InShortLit & EIC @StephLiberatore for holding space for this topic. inshortjournal.com/dawn-tasaka-st…

@FaerieGodFag @Stephen1980118 @highbrow_nobrow Smallpox. Measels. Pertussis. Polio. Have you forgotten them, Ol' Assholio?

I’ve gotten the Covid vaccine a total of six times. Unless you’re an epidemiologist, a virologist, an immunologist, or infectious disease physician, please shut the fuck up. No amount of google searching will compare to an actual doctor who had gone to medical school, has received a doctorate/degree, been awarded millions in grants to study this shit. IDGAF what you think, you’re wrong. Delete your account.

KASIE HUNT: Over the summer you said, “There’s no vaccine that’s safe and effective”. Do you still believe that? RFK JR: “I never said that.” KASIE HUNT: “Play the clip.” RFK JR (clip): “There’s no vaccine that is safe and effective.” (March 2024)

My friend @KarenDeBonis published this piece in @BusinessInsider and now I have to blur my cluttered background when we Zoom. businessinsider.com/decluttering-b… via @businessinsider

@mychal3ts As it should be, Mychal. You are the face of the library for so many.

@kyleisamu @VestalReview Beautiful and disturbing, as art often is. Congratulations.

I have a story in @VestalReview that means a lot to me—it’s about sea glass, sex, and everything else that washes up on the shore of ourselves. Thank you David Galef for giving this a home. vestalreview.net/junkyard

@steep_smith @SonyaBonczek Whew. So glad you like it.

Thank you @evorbachcollins for this beautiful review! I’m always stunned to realize how many of us there are. @SonyaBonczek

Here's my review ofEverywhere the Undrowned by @steep_smith. I hope I've done it justice. hippocampusmagazine.com/2024/12/review… via @hippocampusmag

@DeAngelisCorey In addition to her cruelty and abuse of power, this "teacher" seems to have difficulty cobbling together a grammatically correct sentence. Children deserve better.

The teacher sent this message to parents: "I had a talk with our students about how important it is to use our thing appropriately, but please have a talk with them.. For I know that if we both help them understand the rules, they will understand it better" Blaming the victims.

BREAKING: A public school teacher lost her job after refusing to let first graders use the restroom. Multiple kids peed themselves after the teacher revoked the entire class's right to use the restroom. The teacher messaged parents blaming the victims. Buckle up👇🧵

I'm notplanning a move to Wilson any time soon, but I love this delightful story and recipe for Fried Lace cornbread. eatdarlingeat.net/post/packing-h…

This is the kind of writing I love to find, still here, though the little bluebird has flown the coop. Thank you @FictiveDream and @sagetyrtle .

@melostrom I love those beautiful blues.

Some stormy blue & matte black bowls from my last firing. I like this combination.🩵🖤 Feeding fourteen here tomorrow. A full house! But one nice thing about being a potter is I never have a shortage of dinnerware. Happy Thanksgiving, friends. I’m grateful for you.🍁🍂🍽
