Well I guess we’re doing this. My name is Erica. I was NOT bitten by a radioactive spider, though I did burn my arm on an oven once while getting cookies. I teach high school English in the southern US…so things aren’t always easy. But let’s connect if you enjoy writing and words.

Finished a re-read of House in the Cerulean Sea. I forgot how much this book makes me happy. Ready to read the sequel but does anyone have recommendations for books with similar vibes? #booksky #bookrecs

Here is a thought that could terrify or give you comfort.

We are about to see a 1933 style concentration of power w/ equally evil intentions.

But we have what they don’t, this. The ability to communicate across vast distances instantly.

Yes, they trying to control that. But we still have it

Love, Law, and Civil Disobedience (1961) is a speech King gave about the student movement in the South. He was again talking about love and nonviolence, but also about what it means to resist laws. bigfatgenius.com/2220%20Fall%...

It wasn’t people’s goodbye messages that got me crying over the loss of TikTok— it was a garpgrinder One Piece fan edit. I feel like that tells you all you need to know about me 😭

Slowly adding people to this account as I discover more of the people I follow from TikTok have accounts here.

Just wrote an original short story for the first time as an adult. Trying to be a better writer this year and at least this is a tangible step in that direction. #writing #12shortstoriesin12months
