Killing people we disagree with is wrong in every way, whether it’s Melissa Hortman or Charlie Kirk. This is especially true in a country awash with guns and run by fascists looking to amplify their already militarized policies.
No thoughts and prayers. Down with fascism and up with gun control.

So much of teaching and lesson planning involves clicking on links, shifting course content, and adjusting deadlines. If feels like, at least today, that makes up about 50% of the job.

Writers, I know many of you were active in that previous bird-chirping space. Maybe it’s just me, but it still feels a bit quiet here. Thoughts? Are you navigating the quiet in a new way, or just waiting for more noise?

For both Michelle and me, radio feels like home. Such an honor to be interviewed by her. Her podcast is a beautiful space for memoirists. Give it a listen. #MemoirChat #PodcastRec #WritingVoices #DaringToTell

I typed "Gratitude looks like" into my phone and let the autosuggestion take over. Here's what it gave me.
Making sense isn't the point obviously, but to me it's like a secret message. Truer than truth.
What does yours say?

New to Blursky, but funny thing—I was actually writing about the blue sky, one of the million little drafts I’m not sure if (or how) it belongs in the book. It’s called The Bluest Sky.
Writer friends, what do you use Blursky for? Just writerly, or personal too?

I bought a bag of dry roasted peanuts from 99 ranch market today, 南乳flavor.
Nothing remarkable.
We just cracked one and then another while watching TV. I poured wine too (who cares if they go together).
Feels like sharing this piece I wrote last year.
