Hi friends. I caught up with Laird's partner, Jessica M today and received permission to share this. As some of you may know, Laird is in need of a new kidney. The appropriate donor would have O blood type. If you or anyone you know may be a willing match & donor, please reach out to me.

Great quote! Where did she say this? Looking to cite it to tell my students!

Happy Friday from our first “Tom Thumb” popcorn cob of the season! It’s so perfect and tiny I just can’t handle it!

Oh my god. That is so wild. Transcripts prove education/qualification, W-2s prove payment, but....I guess evals are kind of it to prove experience?? Wild. Like, do they expect you have footage of yourself somewhere? Thank goodness you had those saved!!!

Andrew Huffman @landrewhuffman.bsky.social · Aug 4

I'm saving those evals right this minute😅

This summer has not been what I expected💀 Grateful nonetheless for having a loving community, a cute cat, a dog who hates the rain, a beautiful garden, and recovering quickly from viral meningitis!

Oh I had totally forgotten about that, that is absolutely a similar situation. Like, to what end? Not only are the long term health risks very high, the reward in the moment is poor because it's not like someone who is in recovery from a major illness is going to be playing their best

Andrew Huffman @landrewhuffman.bsky.social · Jul 3

!!!!!!! Seriously. Of course she wants to play. Of course. But who is looking out for her long term health?

Andrew Huffman @landrewhuffman.bsky.social · Jul 3

Literally!! The risk is SO HIGH and for what?? They are annihilating Portugal. Rest is one of the only true treatments for viral meningitis!!

It's just horrible!!! I can't understand it at all

Happy Lottery day to you and yours.

🚨🚨 Submission Call Time! 🚨🚨

We're going to be open for submissions for ONE HOUR... late tonight/early tomorrow morning!

shoutout the night owls, the early risers, but maybe most of all, the int'l peeps!

this link will be live between 4am and 5am ET

havehashad.submittable.com/submit/32629...

Submissions will open for one full hour, so insofar as you're racing, you're doing so against the clock rather than each other.

BUT. We're HAD, so we gotta mix it up.

Let's make that hour middle of the night! (At least for me here on the east coast. And, really most of us in the US.) Y'all gotta stay up late, or wake up early, or wake up in the middle of the night just to prove to us you love us, or be international (I hope this time works for the international skullers?).

Which is all to say...
Submissions will be Thursday, April 24, 4am – 5am ET.

A few specifics:
No theme
600 words max
Any/all genre ok
For poems and reeeeal short stuff, you can send two, but make 'em short!

You (probably, hopefully) know the deal.I am going to try to get through as many as possible, as fast as possible, but its a timed call rather than quantity so I have no idea how many I'll get, so getting through everything might spill over into the next day or two... or longer? We'll see!

Feeling centered by @sbfeldman.bsky.social's words of creative resistance in my inbox this morning. "As a reader, though, I have never, ever felt lost. I bet you haven’t, either."

Spent time after revising my current project for me, for my survival in these times, for the relief.

Day 86 of 100 Days of Creative Resistance: @sbfeldman.bsky.social on Feeling Lost

mailchi.mp/5cc2bea5a1bf...

@writingco-lab.bsky.social

100 Days of Creative Resistance graphic featuring a quote from Stephanie Feldman which reads “Our creative visions may be inexplicable, unquantifiable—we may not be able to articulate their contribution to the world—but the ideas and characters and images and words are calling for a reason. It doesn’t matter if you can name the reason right now. Someday you’ll figure it out… your heart will feel some relief.”

For the last month, we have been watching a nest of great horned owls on our trail. The owlets are huge now, so curious and ridiculous looking. So, in case you too need to look at some owlets, here you go!
