April remembered camellia bush with a bright pink bloom

The winter storms battered our camellia bush, so many of its blooms turned brown and fell off. This one managed to survive and bloom! What’s blooming near you? #gardensky #gardening #camellia

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

The first pie I made was a Dutch apple pie! Only one crust to work with, so it was easy and delicious. 🍏

Thank you so much for these kind words @mattkendrick.bsky.social!! #writersky #creativenonfiction

Extremophiles - 100Words Emily HallKnee-deep in the eggy marsh, Dr. Smith and three classmates lifted a refrigerator from the water like pallbearers. Hinges rusted, drooping.

Many thanks to 100 Word Story, who published my nonfiction piece, Extremophiles, this morning! #writersky #booksky #creativenonfiction

Thank you!!

I won't be attending the State of the Union address.

I’m not interested in hearing another campaign rally full of lies.

I love ebooks but they definitely warp my perception, especially when they’re not paginated!

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Our priorities are so fucked.

Thank you!!!

Ohhh, I’ve not heard of these but I wanna read them! Thank you! I really like Claire North’s novels. The Gameshouse is my favorite. I liked V E Schwab’s Shades of Magic series but they’re a little predictable!

I blew through these books a few years ago!! So good!

Thank you so much!!

Naturally dyed Aran weight yarn. I used cochineal with an alum mordant.

Winding up the yarn I naturally dyed. I used cochineal and alum to achieve this color. Feeling a little tired of winter and hoping to see more color soon! #naturaldye #knitsky #yarnsky 🧶

I find places like CBS and the Washington Post baffling. They assume they can simply replicate FOX news, as if every audience *wants* that content. Both places are struggling now because they didn’t understand their own consumers!

Agreed. And it’s hard to see how many of us have nearly identical experiences.

I left academia in 2022 (English lit). I was also relentlessly harassed without recourse. Leaving was devastating but the only way to build myself back up. 😞

I’m not surprised, but I’m sorry for your experiences. The veneration for older male scholars is unending, despite all the things they do to us.

This was 100% my experience in academia. And so many faculty knew and didn’t care. 😐

ohhh ‘democracy dies in darkness’ was aspirational

Washington Post Begins Sweeping Layoffs

Books MATTER. Book coverage MATTERS. #Booksky

We take the wins when we can get them.

Fiction Review: Emily Hall Reads Kristina Ten’s Debut Collection Tell Me Yours, I’ll Tell You Mine Kristina Ten’s debut short-story collection, Tell Me Yours, I’ll Tell You Mine, is filled with female protagonists who refuse to acquiesce. Delightfully defiant, and reminiscent of Dahlia de la Cer…

New review up at Heavy Feather Review. I really enjoyed this fiesty collection! 🐇 #writersky #booksky

No surprise gaps between buttons either!

Icicles hang outside my window. There’s a peach, tasseled curtain and a lipstick plant

My view while working this morning. Can’t remember ever seeing icicles like this in NC. Reminds me of living back north. 🥹 #writersky #snow

I’ve done this on a dress or two. It still looks polished and purposeful!!

Ahhhhh. And yes. I agree with the other commenter—we call them lunch ladies here!
