Remembering when I was denied joining a book club because I would have been the only non iPhone and it would have created a new group chat.

In 6th grade we went to a program called "Exchange City" where we worked in a little town for the day. Months before, we took career assessments to place us (I was a journalist) and even had an election for Mayor. We met regularly with our "coworkers" to work on a business plan for the big day.

I have an intimate following here and follow quite a few impactful folks. I feel like engagement is more difficult now than the earlier days of this app, but I want to keep amplifying creatives and urbanist content! I'll occasionally still share some of my community stories as well.

Marion was an immediate standout for how enthusiastically they embraced this contest. From local and regional newspapers to community organizations and even after-school clubs, the entire community banded together to celebrate their resilience and look to the future with hope.

I have a comma problem. I'm revising my work and deleting commas left and right while resisting the temptation to add more. Hot editing tips: Be mindful about your commas (Oxford commas excluded of course!) Do you really need the word "that"? Delete it

Just want to say as someone who has worked in PR & Marketing for a decade, that MANY brands' target audiences are called "HER" or "MOM." They are trying to appeal to women. Women have such valuable buying power. Remember this as you choose what to spend money on, what media you consume. We matter.

Your monthly reminder: Keep writing. When no one cares, persist. When things appear to be crumbling, keep at it. When it's difficult, push through. When you feel alone, listen to the stories in your blood. Just write. The world needs your stories.

If you’re planning on watching any Lynch, my advice is: don’t watch any analysis videos, don’t think about what stuff is “supposed” to mean, just get your own unique experience from it!! I think people have become far too concerned with the “correct” interpretations of media. Just experience it!!!

Now is a very good time to be good to each other. In part because you never know what anyone is going through, but also because you know that all of us have already been through so much.

I remember spending afternoons at the library, with a little bag of quarters that I'd use to periodically call my home on the payphone to check in. This memory makes me sound way older than I actually am.

I am trying to roll an old 401k into my IRA and this is the biggest wild goose chase. I'm scared my money doesn't actually exist and they're just putting me off. Like "Oh we didn't think you'd actually ever retire, about those funds . . ." 😅

I love living in Ohio because you can live in a major city and still say things like "I have to drop off some stuff at my cousin's farm"

Remembering how my poetry professor in college would have us underline poems/write comments within the assigned reading, then would collect all our books to review. So he would just take bags full of our physical poetry collections home, read what we noted, and haul them back to class.

Just a reminder that your local library has more than just books! Many also have dvds, cds, video games, game systems, internet hot spots, streaming services, ebooks, audio books, park passes, museum passes, and so so much more! Maybe it's time for a visit!

One of the biggest lies I ever told myself is that I couldn't be into both arts and sports. Honestly one reason why I deeply appreciate Hanif Abdurraqib. He writes about sports beautifully. The man is a poet *and* a Cavs fan.

Right now is a good time to call your reps and tell them you are against ANY form of book banning (including the "Parents Bill of Rights" bill). The GOP House majority is going to be super slim in January, and they couldn't get the entire caucus behind the bill last time. We can beat this bill!
