A doozy of a reported opinion piece by @crampell.bsky.social: when a childcare in WI lost its (modest!) government funding, the effects cascaded to working parents and then THEIR employers www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

washingtonpost.com

Opinion | A child-care center lost its funding. Here’s what happened next.

When one Wisconsin daycare lost its funding, the effects cascaded to a working parent with kids there and to her employer, too.

My short story collection, The Disappeared, has been out in the world 6 months as of today, and I just wanted to express my gratitude to everyone who bought a copy or took the time read it, or talk to me about it, or write to me about it. I’m very grateful for the kindness and support.

Thrilled to have a micro up at @cincinnatireview.bsky.social. I hope you can take a minute to read/listen to it. I wrote Apocalypse at a @bendinggenres.bsky.social retreat, inspired by an abstract art card from the deck "Prose Scintilla" (Michael Todd Cohen). I interpreted the image as a mermaid.
