back to school is one of my all-time favorite times of year, it's when everything feels possible ✨ today I sent all my kid's grandmas first-day-of-school pictures and I really missed (and miss) my moms, wishing they were still part of the grandma gaggle

for a few years I've been writing three things I'm grateful for and three things I'm excited about as a daily practice, and goddamn if it's not when it's hardest to do that I need it the most

If you're protesting tomorrow:

"I invoke my rights to silence and counsel and will not answer questions without my attorney present."

MEMORIZE THAT, because aside from asking if you're free to leave (or providing ID if you're in a stop and ID state), that's the ONLY thing you ever say to cops.

🚨 BREAKING: OMB has just issued a memo *rescinding* the previous memo freezing all federal financial assistance programs.

short fiction folks RISE
Because tedious tasks are my therapy right now: are you a short fiction writer (flash or short stories only, please) publishing in litmags or aspiring to? I'd like to make a starter pack of short story and flash people! Comment here and please share for visibility #writingcommunity

I really really really loved the bird app, mostly for the pals I found there over the past ten years of my writing life and it'd be chill if old friends and new found me here, too ✨
