The book of the unnamed midwife cover

THE BOOK OF THE UNNAMED MIDWIFE by @megelison.bsky.social.

What a wonderful novel. Follows a midwife wandering a post-plague America secretly supplying birth control to outnumbered, enslaved women. Humane & complicated & messy & dire & inspiring. And, wow, TIMELY.

The fact that this word is real is strong evidence for the existence of God.

This, but also it is now my mission to use the phrase "chucklefuck" ten times in convo organically by EOD. I'll post results as they happen.

Thank you for bringing the phrase chucklefuck into my life. It is now my mission to use this phrase at least ten times today organically in conversation.

My dog is Chewie on Hoth.

It is a delight, particularly for Zelda fans. You should try it!! It really connected me and kids: we play side by side: they're on their phone and I play on the PS5 because I am old and need a controller. :)

Also known as "Why horror writers do it." This is a GREAT article and super applicable now.

My trans kiddo and I love the Genshin community. Very supportive!

Hey,
#writingcommunity, our new group for experienced writers in transition (ie 'my career sure didn't take off like I planned, but I can't quit so let's write together) is starting to host live drop in writing sessions. FB live is AWFUL. Suggestions besides Zoom?

So you know all those writers with amazing careers and Santa sacks full of cash and opportunities? 😆 I've created a group for the rest of us who've been around the publishing block, (barely) lived to the tell the tale, but Just. Can't. Quit. Join us. #amwriting

My cat Winter pushed a box of cereal off the table for my dog, Zelda. They're both looking at me because I caught them in the act!

So in case anyone needs something unmiserable to look upon today, here's my pup Zelda and my cat Winter, coordinating to steal cereal. Caught!

Remember to share holiday traditions like decorating the tree with your kids even if they’re out of town.

Hey #writingcommunity and #amwriting... What are the tags people are using when they're sprinting? I'm a Twitter refugee!

Zelda the dog discovering snow. She's got the red-brown fur of a teddy bear and she is absolutely frosted with snow. The curls around her mouth look like she got into the icing bag when someone wasn't looking.

Hi there! I'm Tracie and I finally took the Bluesky plunge. This seems like the kind of place that appreciates a good dog pic, so here's one of my pup Zelda discovering snow.
