Ah! Finishing a great book is like taking a deep breath of sea air after a 7AM hike. I read this lovely/important #book by Amy Henderson and enjoyed every moment. It's about the duality of being a working parent of young children + the distinct tension in seeking to show up fully in all directions.

The best, quick #glutenfree meals I've had in the past month for anti-inflammatory eating:
1. Chicken lettuce wraps with gluten-free teriyaki.
2. Smashed avocado + fried egg on a brown rice cake with everything bagel seasoning.
3. My husband's chicken adobo with tamari instead of soy sauce.

Honestly, I have no idea what to post on Bluesky yet because it feels different to me in audience than X/Twitter, but you tell me: What communities are you engaging with? Your professional network, your personal network, people you don't know/want to? I'm so curious. @bsky.app #curiosity #tellme

Creative #writing is just rearranging the items on your desk until you recall a childhood memory and rediscover its meaning as a squirrel pushes a bird off your bird feeder but the bird flies away unharmed and suddenly you’ve written a flash #nonfiction essay. #poets get it ✨

#Copywriting tip: When writing calls to action, if you're ever tempted to write "Learn more here" always cut the word "here." If you've written the rest of the copy effectively, you can drop it. "Watch video" (not "Watch video here"). (Real estate on the screen is precious.)

I love this take on how literary journals and presses could focus on #publishing 'uncurated' versus 'unpublished' work as a new standard to put less limitations on where artists share their work prior to print. "Uncurated: The Case for a New Term of Art" t.co/gztprpNCwb #poetry #litjournals
