Sending this around again bc it just makes us SO happy. I reread it and marvel at the things said, at how we are perceived — we really are doing what we set out to do! This recognition is so special and encouraging. Thank you so so much.

So, so many quotable lines in this piece by @haleydirenzo.bsky.social but I think this one contains so much: “It was not so much the money, but how it had allowed me to accomplish a dream, born from the regret of him missing out on one.” #Nostalgia across generations, a force for good

Been wanting to share some work on social without first getting the validation of publication, so before I talk myself out of it, here's something timely. Happy Fourth and holding on to stupid hope.

While Republicans celebrate the passage of the largest Medicaid cut in history, the Curtis Medical Center in Nebraska announced it will shut down as a result of these horrific cuts — the first of many hospitals to close. This is a dark day for rural America and for our country.

Thrilled to have these two poems in January House about long ago by a girl (me) who's never gotten over anything in her life, aka a poet.

My flash story Dreams is up at Flash Fiction Magazine today. I wrote the first draft in 2020 well before I started to take writing more seriously. That only happened in the last year, but I'm so glad I found my way back to this piece. I'm very proud of it and would love if you gave it a read!
