Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I am nothing if not stubborn, and so I decided to make good on my claim that I'd dig out old crayons and draw it myself. Is it a masterpiece? I mean, I hadn't drawn in decades and it shows, and old broken crayons are a challenging medium, but driven by spite and curiosity, I made it my damned self. 2285
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 02/10/2026I have the sweetest child. I had this book on hold and it became available the day I fell last week. I normally walk the mile to the library on Wednesdays, but haven’t been able to because of my injuries, and I got the notification last night that I had to pick it up before end of day today… 140
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 28/09/2026Oh, FB, I promise you that if I felt a pressing need to have a “crayon masterpiece” of this 14 year old photo of my and my daughter, I would dig out her old crayons and draw the thing my damned self. I made those sweaters with my own hands, I have no aversion to making things myself! 160
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 30/08/2026A Wrinkle in Time. My mom’s grad school friend gave it to me when I was a 6 year old extremely precocious reader who was bored out of their mind at school. I loved it so damned much!! 040
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 06/08/2026Every time I see this truck in the parking lot, I think “C.J.’s here for a Fishing Tourney!” (It’s been ages since I’ve actually played Animal Crossing.) 000
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Can other Firefox users get Flickr to open in the browser? This is what I see when I try: 100
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 27/07/2026Post a perfect album from the 90s. 020
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 18/07/2026We’re having an interesting day, weather-wise: 220
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Look what my friend Chelsea made for me!! I’d posted on FB about @hankgreen.bsky.social’s “no effort is wasted” video and what I wrote really connected with Chelsea and now I have this awesome cross-stitch!! (I was planning to embroider the phrase on something and maybe still will!) 1100
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 27/06/2026Saw Hank Green talking about his new game so I decided to try it and it’s fun! I think maybe I was supposed to select the shared word first every time? 110
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 26/06/2026Just have to share the joy I felt upon discovering that I could fit my book club book (we’re reading “Enshittification”) in the giant pockets of my Studio Tunic for my 2+ mile walk to the park where we met this afternoon. Felt so silly proud in my homemade tunic with a book in the pocket! 000
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 29/05/2026Made myself practice. (Please clap?) 140
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 28/05/2026I finished the green Wardie today!! Now it just needs to dry post-blocking so I can sew the buttons on. Just in time for it to actually warm up outside, ha! (It’ll get plenty of wear next school year.) 130
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 30/04/2026I’m not entirely sure what people would or wouldn’t expect…like, IS it surprising to learn that I was once a competitive marathon runner? (Grainy photo from my first marathon, age 19.) 1101
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 26/04/2026A very happy (and handsome!) Hocus, basking in the sunshine. 060
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Today it’s >60F in our offices in the WSAP. It’s a “heating issue that will take time to fix.” I’m just straight-up working with my coat on this morning. At least I wore my handwarmers that are easier to type in! Here’s hoping my classrooms are warmer, at least! 110
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 21/04/2026Wrapped in a blanket because after a day in a freezing cold office, I can’t warm up, but hey, I managed an almost-clean recording of this little Bourée by Krieger that I’m learning, so that’s neat! 110
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 20/04/2026And now it’s 64F. Thank goodness for my “office blanket” (actually a worsted weight wool shawl) and wool mitts! 140
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 16/04/2026Went to put on my linen dress this morning and discovered this under the left armhole. Advice? I’m a very curious and interested total newbie when it comes to mending. I do have some of this fabric leftover, which I hope helps? But anyway, advise me, wise people! 250
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 12/04/2026Between getting the full rainbow set of @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social books and Orbán losing, it’s been a pretty good 43rd birthday today! 160
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 08/04/2026Just got the announcement about kiddo’s 8th grade semi-formal dance, and y’all, they’ll have a sensory-sensitive room with quiet crafts and OMG, I’m both happy for and jealous of my kid. 230
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 31/03/2026So this photo is basically a Tom Bihn ad, but I was just really tickled by how nicely my frozen burrito fit in the bottom pocket of my Synik 22. (Extra long on-campus day = need dinner as well as lunch!) 000
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 31/03/2026My walk from parking lot to office now includes a section where I get to walk atop a narrow wall to avoid the giant lake that is forming at the campus end of the pedestrian bridge over Elmwood. Fun! At least it wasn’t actively pouring at the time. 100
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 28/03/2026My kid’s sign for today’s No Kings is the same sign she made for the first protest we went to during this administration, about a year ago. Sad that it’s such an evergreen and necessary reminder. 061
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 17/03/2026Lunchtime high of 70F yesterday, then spending 10 minutes chipping our car out of its icy shell while getting blasted in the face with blowing snow in -7F windchills this morning. Oh, March. 100
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 14/03/2026I took a class at SewGreen (local fiber arts thrift store/community space) this morning and learned how to sew a little zippered pouch! It was fun! 010
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 14/03/2026The wider world is a disaster, but exciting new book + a lap full of Focus (the cat) is making my tiny corner of it feel pretty great right now. 000
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 06/03/2026It’s a nothing-but-Wardie sort of conference! And I realized that ALL of my colorful Wardies (the magenta one I have on today AND the turquoise one I finished not so long ago AND this green one I’m knitting) actually go well with this skirt!! 000
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 05/03/2026On my second Greyhound bus of the day (this one’s nicer than the first), on my way to CCCC ‘26, knitting a Wardie cardigan while wearing a Wardie cardigan. 0130
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 26/02/2026I love your colors!! My sweater and hair ties today match your pants :) 120
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 05/02/2026Left my hair down today; pretty sure it’s the first time I’ve taught with my hair down in a full year! (I’m finally through the most awkward part of the grow-out, so I’m happy to have the option, though I still plan to lean mostly on braids for containment.) 120
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 04/02/2026Turns out that tiny hats don’t take very long to knit! 000
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 03/02/2026Because I’m a ridiculous person who needs to keep their hands busy, Sven is getting a Melt The ICE hat of his own. 140
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 30/01/2026Cold day = snuggly sisters. 040
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 29/01/2026I don’t know why this piece feels so good to play but it just soothes me, and maybe it can soothe you too? It’s the Adagio by Shteibelt that my piano teacher taught me and I just think it’s so beautiful. And I needed the soothing today. 110
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 26/01/2026We gave kiddo the Procreate Dreams app for her birthday and this is the first animation she created: a birthday cake whose candles burn out. It delights me so much!! (She showed me all the things she did to create it and I understood almost none of it!) 030
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 21/01/2026This little piece came home with a note from her art teacher imploring her to keep taking art classes when she moves up into high school next year, saying that she’s “astoundingly talented”She’s really amazing at blending colors…her stuff just glows somehow, and I don’t know how she does it! 050
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 17/01/2026This kitty loves to burrow in this blanket. Sometimes she does such a good job of it that we almost sit on her. 060
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 15/01/2026Car windshield before driving home from campus this evening. I just love the way water droplets sparkle. 110
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 13/01/2026There’s plenty of awful in the world…how about a moment of joy from a newbie pianist? I can play this whole Shteibelt Adagio piece that I started learning a couple weeks ago now and tonight I managed a clean(ish…kiddo’s fawning over cats in the background) recording!! 1162
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 10/01/2026In case anyone needs some snuggly kitties as a timeline cleanse, these two are happy to provide: 050
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 07/01/2026A dreary first day back on campus since the end of Fall Semester. 010
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 06/01/2026Got this on Duolingo and I actually do only have two classes to teach next semester (making up for my overload in the Fall) but re-prepping both essentially from scratch right now is not feeling especially einfach. 020
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 02/01/2026Well, I suppose anything’s possible! 010
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 27/12/2025I was literally just listening to this Björk album yesterday while working out on our Nordic Track (which is also from the 90’s!) But for my own contribution, I’ll go with: 150
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 27/12/2025Also: the cat with the floury face was Focus. She’s very cute (see photo below, which is old but demonstrates her characteristic epic head tilt). Also a menace. 020
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 26/12/2025The prelude from yesterday’s masks-required service, for anyone who’d enjoy listening! (I’ll post the postlude in a reply.) 130
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 03/12/2025I wanted to see how messed up my hairdo got from my hat/all of the effort of snow removal, and I can’t see the back of my own head, so I made a little video and it turns out my “two french braids, with ends tucked under and bobby-pinned into place” hairdo actually holds up surprisingly well? 120
Whitney Gegg-Harrison (she/they) @writerethink.bsky.social · 29/11/2025My hair has gotten long enough to put in a single French braid!! I did this one fully by touch while sitting on the couch giving feedback on papers; I’m surprised by how nice it turned out. (Photo credit goes to kiddo, since I can’t take photos of the back of my own head!) 040
