I’m primarily interested in class assignments not books you sought out.

Can you help me out? Cast your mind back in time and tell me how many books you read in grades 1-12 that were written by women with female main characters. More helpful would be if you included the year you graduated from high school. Thank you!

@victoriachang.bsky.social, you must stop being such a damn incredible poet. No, I'm kidding, you must never stop.

The syntax of two great horned owls having a morning conversation. Four short beats. Three long. Four short beats. Three long.

Raskin: "It's not lost on anyone that shutting the government down allows them not swear in our new colleague, Ms Grijalva from Arizona, who would be the 218th signature to discharge the Epstein files and to put a vote on that on the House floor."

With you.

And even though it’s been fun, I’m going to re-focus that very limited, very dear, morning time back on my writing. Thanks for playing along. 2/fin

Friends, I had every intention of posting a “tag” a day for 100 days. But then I discovered that the time that I usually spend writing in the morning was getting spent creating tags and then posting them online (not mention looking for places to hang them). 1/2

*This is hung on the fancy marriage certificate that was issued in 1916 to my grandparents (father's side). I love having this delicate reminder of those that came before and live in my every cell.

Listen, Tenar. Heed me. You were the vessel of evil. The evil is poured out. It is done. It is buried in its own tomb. You were never made for cruelty and darkness; you were made to hold light, as a lamp burning holds and gives its light.
