Molly Fisk

Two rows of books at the Red Hen Press booth at the Associated Writers Programs conference in Baltimore, MD this week. The top center one is my new novel-in-verse called Walking Wheel. It has a gold William-Morris-like background of wheat stalks and a large font with the title in white.

A friend at AWP in Baltimore took this photo today! Live in the world, my new book Walking Wheel. If you're at the conference, you can go visit at the Red Hen Press booths. #booksky #ohwow #readbooks Thanks, Theresa Pappas!

How can you work with this person alluring you over to pat him?!? Nerves of steel.

“We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done," journalist Garrett Graff wrote: "A superpower … suicide because the [Repub] Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King. This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.”

Normalize laughing derisively in men's faces when they deserve it.

It turns out it was a group of moms skiing together for three days at the Frog Lake Huts. When this happened they and the four guides were heading back to the trailhead to their cars. That puts a different spin on things. Six rescued last night, with two of those going to the hospital. 9 missing.

Yeah. My county, but higher up. Not looking good. I can't imagine why they were out there with all the storm warnings we've been getting all week.

Thank you! Just learning here. I appreciate it.

John Updike, His Stories, and Me When the famed novelist wrote a short story about her father, poet Molly Fisk was forced to confront the secret truths that lie in fiction

When she says ‘circling’ i think dementors

valentine's day isn't just for couples, it's also a day to celebrate love. for instance, i would love it if housing prices came down.

Happy birthday to one of my favourite haters, Charles Darwin

Picture of a gray haired woman wearing a shirt that reads on the back “come see my daughter’s film A Woman’s Work at Santa Barbara Film Festival 2/11 at 11:20am 2/12 6:20pm I am a Jewish mother seeking a girlfriend/future wife for my filmmaker daughter (she is multilingual and has an adorable dog). Please inquire with me”

Best advertisement I’ve seen so far at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival

In a normal government, this results in the resignation of multiple cabinet officials (Transportation, Defense, and Homeland Security), and the closure or (at least!) radical reorg of the cartoonishly incompetent agency at the center of it: CBP.

a close up of a bunch of super bisexual glitter sparkle whistles. <3

I just spent a couple hours in the whistle inbox, inputting 39 requests. They ranged from 100 for a lady who wants to give them out at church to 3,000 for a large union. All over the country, but one common refrain: I want to help.

Thanks for helping us do this. 💓
