We've had so much rain this past month, that all the little creatures who burrow holes in our lawn have made new little holes on higher ground nearer the house. Rain rain go away....

Love this. Future me is waiting for now me to catch the hell up! (Actually I thank past me regularly for things I did, so now I don't have to do, or deal.)

Marianne Boruch is reading for the Jackson Poetry Prize right now. She noted that the poem she was about to read, she didn't remember. Same, Marianne, same. (I google my own old poems to make sure it wasn't a c/p situation. It never has been, and I don't but I worry.) She's amazing btw.

Turns out when you're flying, Bluesky turns on it's age verification, sending one to KWS, since it thought I was in TX though I wasn't. All is normal on my laptop, and phone, now that I'm home. I hadn't realized this happened. bsky.social/about/blog/0...

All of this. I'll add that not everyone knows public libraries are free, so make sure you talk about that esp if you're a teacher. Some parents don't know.

So pleased to have work coming out in @thehooghlyreview.bsky.social, @jenthorne.bsky.social and @madp03t.bsky.social's I Smell Toast Anthology (because how fun is that!), and today's acceptance by @mrbullbull.bsky.social! Can't wait is an understatement!!

Just started a rewatch of Heroes. Loved that show. Not sure I'm going to continue because watching a story about a girl who couldn't die, hits wrong now given Hayden Panettiere's death. 💔

If you visit a NICU/child hospital, infected with measles, you should go to jail for the rest of your pos sorry life. NICUs are more sacrosanct than any place on earth. You spend 3.5 months watching babies struggle there, that'd be your opinion too.

Fun fact, if you're holding a houseplant you're bringing back in the house after the rain, hummingbirds are much more likely to come really close and check you out. So cool. Two of the fluffy tinier gray and white ones. The green are still touchy.

This is funny. Ancestry tells me that my 8th ggrandfather who died in 1702 was living in Washington DC in 1923. Excellent, confirming MacGregor time travelling family.

A little peek inside I Smell Toast. The book is taking shape. 🎃 Artwork by @jenthorne.bsky.social. #ISmellToast #poetry #fiction #writing #smallpress #publishing #halloween

Interior page from I Smell Toast. The poem’s title, author, and text are intentionally blurred, while “Inspired by: Dead Beats, I Smell Toast” remains visible. At the lower right is artwork by Jen Thorne depicting an old toaster with a decaying green hand reaching from one of the slots.

Sitting outside writing, watching hummingbirds. I held out my finger as one flew close to me. It contemplated landing I think until another came by to cause trouble. Even if it didn't land I'm counting it as a win today and a wish for another day.

This one in the front did not stop staring at me, so I made the very sensible decision to turn around. I don't want them bothered eating as they have to fatten up for the winter. My bright Blytheville Book Company tshirt certainly made me noticable.

Lady at TJ Maxx comments: "Towel colors make me dizzy." Me: "The brown bath towels are nice." Her: "Oh, you're one of those." ??? That was after I saw a large crow atop a telephone pole staring at the fl*ck camera across the road. Clearly an afternoon mood's developing.

FB memory September 9, 2016 "Poetry club was a blast. To quote one boy, "best club ever!" I couldn't have asked for a better hour. We wrote poems riffing off of Williams', This is Just to Say, with real plums, cold and delicious, for snack, and The Red Wheelbarrow. So much fun!"

I know I'm always late to the party. This book is so very good. Hugo Best novel winner. @alixeharrow.bsky.social's The Everlasting. Smoothest imersive world building I've seen in forever. The interplay between characters, thorough and heartfelt. Really loving it. Scented by basil on the deck.

I had no idea about this connection. Do read. I remember learning she was a journalist, starting with the expose of Playboy magazine, a condemnation of a huge powerhouse of men's entertainment. Sometimes Ms. would be placed right next to those magazines in stores.

RIP Gloria Steinem. 😢 You used your brain, your heart, and your beauty (which confused so many sexist people, because you were a feminist and! beautiful, god forbid, something they couldn't comprehend) to help change the world. Yay for trashing stereotypes of all kinds! www.si.edu/object/ms-vo...

I'll give this to the #HugoAwards captioning. They know when to be accurate. (cc @tkingfisher.com)

A slide says "Presented by Harry Turtledove."
At the bottom a caption reads:
"testosterone than the males. Two, thanks to a pseudo penis formed by an erectile clitoris, they have larger equipment than the males. The downside is that they have to give birth through it. While you are recovering from that here's Harry Turtledove."
