Trump is attempting to slash nearly 3 million acres of protections and virtually eliminate Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monuments in southern Utah. His actions also defy Intertribal collaborative management and shared stewardship of these landscapes.

I’ve never had an orchid bloom a second time, but someone gave me this last year and it’s come back to life in an amazing way! Hope that’s a metaphor for something. Have a good weekend ahead! #writingcommunity #fridayvibes

Writing requires balance: heady work needs walks. Or cooking. Something physical, don’t u agree? Happy writing, friends! #writingcommunity #booksky #writinglife

Maggie could use the path. Instead, she dives into the snow and barks because she’s mad about it! A little bit like how I feel when I’m deep in the weeds editing my WIP! 🤪😁 #writingcommunity #amediting #dogsofbsky

Caller reacts to Bad Bunny's Halftime Show: "You wouldn't ask an opera singer to convert her songs into English. That's ridiculous. The most important thing he said at the end was God Bless America. It was a great performance, it was all love."

One of my favorite things is when a piece I write takes on a new life in someone else’s hands. Tiffany Graham Charkosky read my 2022 article describing the types of memoirists who land book deals & found a new way to look at her journey. Her memoir releases today: janefriedman.com/all-others-t...

Jane’s reporting has shown that unknown authors still land memoir deals, a fact which gave one writer the will to persevere—and succeed.

✨️🌾🌳🍁🌳🌾✨️ Golden Ribbon Long road home Dirt's golden ribbon Through the woods #BlueSkyArtShow #TheRoad #EastCoastKin #haikufeels #long #haiku #俳句 #Poetry #Micropoetry #Photography #Road #Wolftwin #Fall #Landscape

Golden Ribbon is a landscape photo I took on horseback, riding along a dirt road. To the left, a honey-gold meadow sways. On the right, a green line of forest is accented by red maples, dotting the distance. A dirt road with its median of tawny grass, growing between the tire tracks, cuts through both scenes and disappears into the woods ahead. Above, the sky is a gradient of cerulean to light blue. Across it, brushstrokes of stratus clouds wisp from right to left. It was a beautiful autumn day that inspired my modern 3-5-3 haiku:

Long road home
Dirt's golden ribbon
Through the woods
