Hello from my non-AI teaching and writing corner. Today in workshop, we each wrote a list of seven things we noticed today. “But why?” asked a student. “So that you begin to notice things in order to write them down,” I said.

my bible says to die is to give up the ghost I hesitate to label it metaphor & picture a kind of throwing Millie Tullis / @millietullis.bsky.social
Poem from the collection THESE SAINTS ARE STONES by Millie Tullis:

FAITH
I do not believe in ghosts
especially now
when no one has come for me
when I dream of my ancestors
they are strangers
who do not tell me the truth
my bible says to die
is to give up the ghost
I hesitate to label it metaphor
& picture a kind of throwing

“But what I uncovered could never eclipse what I did not know, what no one living remembered, what no one dead wrote down.” Gorgeous essay and poem by @millietullis.bsky.social today—deep appreciated for Millie’s attention to the dead and heritage and little-marked marriages and graves.

if you’re in the mood to read my short story about the mystification of love and seaweed, here’s "Call Us Not Weeds," published at Psaltery & Lyre @psalteryandlyre.bsky.social with special thanks to EIC Millie Tullis @millietullis.bsky.social psalteryandlyre.org/2025/10/13/c...
a photo of seaweed, golden green, wet and forked. [excerpt: Under the featherlike Desmarestia viridis, Horatia had dashed off: 'Found between the tide-marks. A foxy colour, soon green when kept from water. Thus exposed, it becomes soft and slippery, but becomes itself again when dry. I believe it is my favorite.']
