Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

The first pie I made was a Dutch apple pie! Only one crust to work with, so it was easy and delicious. 🍏

Extremophiles - 100Words Emily HallKnee-deep in the eggy marsh, Dr. Smith and three classmates lifted a refrigerator from the water like pallbearers. Hinges rusted, drooping.

Many thanks to 100 Word Story, who published my nonfiction piece, Extremophiles, this morning! #writersky #booksky #creativenonfiction

I won't be attending the State of the Union address.

I’m not interested in hearing another campaign rally full of lies.

I love ebooks but they definitely warp my perception, especially when they’re not paginated!

Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child sex trafficker, gets gardening time, sports, therapy dogs, and spa products in prison.

Migrant children in custody are sleeping on concrete floors without enough food or clean water.

Our priorities are so fucked.

Ohhh, I’ve not heard of these but I wanna read them! Thank you! I really like Claire North’s novels. The Gameshouse is my favorite. I liked V E Schwab’s Shades of Magic series but they’re a little predictable!

Winding up the yarn I naturally dyed. I used cochineal and alum to achieve this color. Feeling a little tired of winter and hoping to see more color soon! #naturaldye #knitsky #yarnsky 🧢

I find places like CBS and the Washington Post baffling. They assume they can simply replicate FOX news, as if every audience *wants* that content. Both places are struggling now because they didn’t understand their own consumers!

Agreed. And it’s hard to see how many of us have nearly identical experiences.

I left academia in 2022 (English lit). I was also relentlessly harassed without recourse. Leaving was devastating but the only way to build myself back up. 😞

I’m not surprised, but I’m sorry for your experiences. The veneration for older male scholars is unending, despite all the things they do to us.

This was 100% my experience in academia. And so many faculty knew and didn’t care. 😐

Fiction Review: Emily Hall Reads Kristina Ten’s Debut Collection Tell Me Yours, I’ll Tell You Mine Kristina Ten’s debut short-story collection, Tell Me Yours, I’ll Tell You Mine, is filled with female protagonists who refuse to acquiesce. Delightfully defiant, and reminiscent of Dahlia de la Cer…

My view while working this morning. Can’t remember ever seeing icicles like this in NC. Reminds me of living back north. πŸ₯Ή #writersky #snow
