The best, most fucked up, most interesting art is happening in horror. I finished this book a week ago and can't get the ending (the grief!) out of my head.

Less than a week to the WritersInc Bookworm Bash & the auction is LIVE! AWESOME items for bid from rad sponsors like Jacks Abby, Tonino, Thurston Moore, & more! I'd ❤️ to see y'all Saturday, but this is also a great way to support our young authors - and get cool stuff! givebutter.com/c/writersinc...

An incredible (!) journey to bring back coffee from Yemen. Someone send me Port of Mokha beans immediately. ☕

Thanks, jury duty, for giving me a day of waiting and reading. Should've brought my backup book. 🤪

They can hunt and pounce and kill
But they're small and light and probably
Delicious
So they take some things very very seriously

I was a little girl when he said this
But when I became a woman in this world
I understood what he meant.

#BlueberryCoveHalfMarathon is wildly charming, midcoast #Maine vibes. Impressed myself that I managed a 9:42 pace- hills 🥵! And there's a chowder dinner before & a blueberry brunch at the finish! The Half turns at the #lighthouse, so glad we had a chance to be casual there yesterday - awfully nice 🖤

Life Jacket No. 17, reporting for duty!

Just came back from an incredible #TourWest #WhiteWaterRafting trip on the #SalmonRiver in #Idaho. Man, how is a place this incredible possible? So many bald eagles! The Tour West folks are stellar and the trip was a dream -- highly recommend. 🖤

Before>during>after. And a #10K PR! Despite spotty rain, had an awesome time running around #WinslowPark in Freeport, ME, today - absolutely gorgeous (but rain 😭). Clocked in at 55:14!?!! And of course thx to Joe for being my moral support human and cheering me on!

You’re not bad.
You’re a tiny, furious poet
in a body that’s still learning
how to carry all that thunder.
That’s brave work.
That’s art.
That’s enough.

You can cry.
It doesn’t make you weak.
It just means you are hydrated.

If Charles Bukowski Wrote a Children’s Book About Emotional Regulation

Sometimes you feel like a fist. Other times, you feel like the ashtray after a party no one invited you to. Both are fine. Just don’t throw the fis...

Celebrating 7 legal yrs together (& nearly 17 actual yrs?!) by doing my favorite thing: eating snacks. Joe also made Brass Monkeys (awful) (but also the great untold story of WWII?!) bc brass is kind of copper? An awesome time, as always. 🖤

Potted Mr. Avocado so he can spread his roots and give us avocados in 12 or so years 🥴. Also threw a bunch of money at Mahoney's so our balcony could look pretty and give us food too! 🪻🍅🪻🍅
