Emily Hall @emhall47.bsky.social · 05/10/2026You know, life hasn’t felt too easy lately. The Cornell case brought back bad grad school memories. Jury duty triggered worse memories. I’ve hated what I’ve written over the last week or so. But this dumb sign has made me so happy. Find happiness wherever you can, friends! 2110

Emily Hall @emhall47.bsky.social · 03/10/2026I love food histories! Lenore Newman’s Lost Feast about extinct foods is sooooo good. I’m reading Katie Oh’s Bitter Orange right now, an exploration of what it means for something to be a native fruit. 110

Emily Hall @emhall47.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Well, I think the pacing is very successful, so that the ending is a surprise but not a cheap jolt. It makes it tragic rather than exploitative! 110
Emily Hall @emhall47.bsky.social · 01/10/2026Absolutely phenomenal story, @margaretcahillbsky.bsky.social. I fully appreciate how this story manages to be horrifying, complex, and quiet, all at the same time. #flashfiction #fiction #writesky #writing 131
