Saw a post in an adoptee group asking "how many times has anyone asked you how it feels to be adopted?" I knew the answer would be 0. But still amazing reading the replies confirming this reality. No one has ever asked me how it feels to be adopted, but they all sure assume to know how we feel! 🥚

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters

All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.

Unless you've lived it, it's hard to explain how knowing your original birth certificate is sealed and not accessible to you psychologically impacts adoptees. It's an invisible wall that reinforces the idea that we shouldn't wonder about our birth families nor ever want to search for them #adoption

Sometimes, what matters most is not the light or the dark, but the in-between moment.

PHOTO by James Wheeler. A vivid sunset ignites the sky with streaks of lavender, coral, and gold, casting their hues across a blanket of scattered clouds. Below, a perfectly still lake mirrors the dramatic canvas above, creating a seamless reflection of color and light. A narrow strip of land with silhouetted trees and distant mountains separates sky from water, anchoring the surreal scene in quiet solitude.
