Kristi Noem, the homeland security secretary, bungled answers on Tuesday about habeas corpus, incorrectly saying that the legal right of people to challenge their detention by the government was actually the president’s “constitutional right” to deport people.

Can you see them? Baby tomato plants reaching for the light, their very first leaves raised to capture the sun's energy. Their destiny is to produce edible fruit. My task is to care and nurture them to that purpose. There is poetry is everything.

It's not just about Black people. You are negatively affecting much more.

It’s still 1888 in my WIP, still in the south of France, but I’m here 2025 in North Carolina telling the story of a woman whose fascination with Vincent Van Gogh opens her heart to love her husband before he dies.

After five years of hiatus with personal health scares, family medical trauma and losses, I opened my WIP--a novel set in belle epoch France--and found it's holding up. #WednesdayWins

@pennyhaw.bsky.social Thanks for following me! I loved THE INVINCIBLE MISS CUST and am looking forward to reading more of your books. We will never run out of stories about smart women never hearlded.

Just want to remind people that not all disabilities are visual. Thank you @lillielainoff.bsky.social for this amazing graphic. Lillie Lainoff is author of a gender-bending retelling of The Three Musketeers featuring a character with an invisibile disability that threatens her ability to succeed.

I feel ripped-off by the Weather Channel. It promised snow in the wee hours of morning. I rose from bed giddy in hope for a dusting to glimmer in the day. Not a single flake in sight. Can I report the Weather Channel as a scammer?

The nexus between two holidays. Every year I bring out my mother’s Christmas china the day after Thanksgiving. The first meal I serve is what I call Thanksgiving Benedict—leftover stuffing layered with turkey, eggs & drizzled with turkey gravy. This, to me, is as good as the feast the day before.

On a gray day in the fall just remember the pup on the beach in the summer and your heart will smile.

You’ll find face jugs in many pottery studios throughout the American South, while these are just a sample from the studio of Crystal King, a well-known potter from Seagrove, NC. The Seagrove area is renowned as a hub for artists, particularly potters.

Gotta have my coffee first thing, but then who wouldn’t want to grab one of these yummy delights from The Table in Asheboro, NC.

I’m not sure how the algorithm here at Bluesky works, but I will always like photos of owls, foxes, wolves, and writers writing.

You think you know the answers to these things as a parent, but I suspect you would be wrong. Which of these questions would you ask your child over Thanksgiving this year?

Dusk… Twilight… Sunset… That time of day when light fades, temperatures fall, and the yawn of day closes into a Mona Lisa smile. I love the old fashioned term, “gloaming” to describe the waning of light and the fall of the day. What is your favorite time of day? #foryou #sunset #fall #poetryinlight

Anyone else want to pronounce Bluesky as if the Y is a I? Like, I want a brewski with my Bluesky?

I’m on an Elizabeth Strout binge. I read her first 2 books early on, loving her voice, her characters and their inner lives. Just finished book 2 of the Amgash series and now have back-to-back books to enjoy over the fall evenings. What authors have you binged after discovering them?

Who wouldn’t eat that beef burrito draped in mole and Oaxaca cheese and drizzled with sour cream? Well, maybe vegans, gluten-free, lactose intolerant, keto… you’d find something else to satisfy at Monterrey Grill in Durham, NC.

Play with sound up! I caught this mockingbird singing its little heart out. There were no other birds nearby, and yet it continued to sing nonstop. I want to be like a mockingbird and change up my song until someone listens.

Hello Bluesky! I’m a foodie, traveler and author of truths and fictions. Some may remember me as founder of #LitChat over at that old place. I’m here to support those who create art in diverse forms. I’ll post about my dog Scooter, my grandkids, nature, food & making the world a safe place for all.
