Author, author! I write novels and poetry, and teach scientists to tell stories. Latest books: a knife so sharp its edge cannot be seen (poetry) and Simon Sort of Says (middle grade novel). NEWBERY HONOR WINNER BABY!!!!!
That is FANTASTIC, in several senses.

Plus it's like debating the difference between securities fraud and bank fraud. That's not the important part, and it's suspicious that you know and care.

In this sketchbook diary I tried to draw the shape of the snow.

It made me think of unsaid words — of Keats and negative capacity.

One of the less-noted awesome things about getting older as a woman is the way escaping the male gaze changes the import of how one cultivates one’s own appearance.

I think maybe the older you get as a woman the more of this potential power you have — a sort of Iris Apfel effect.

I mean, my own choices are less “look at me; I am pretty/competent/employable” and more “I am my own main character.”

This is just too absurd. It’s the most recognizable single room
in America, and you aren’t going to wander up to it accident and wonder what it is.
