Gaslighting emails?

I have no idea what this is and am happy to take accountability for my mistakes. Show them. If that's a good use of genre's time.

I'll admit to anything I've did but this attack on me and our press has to stop and start being called out for what it is.

Oh, good, we can talk about it?

Release the entire transcript, show that I was asked to answer a question and tried to, show that the only message deleted was from a Black woman, and show that I wasn't banned until hours later, after I'd stopped after the first actual moderator request to do so.

I was sick and grumpy today and missing my son's 20th birthday bowling night, and remembered to go read. What a great decision this was, and especially this book. This wasn't what I was expecting, but it was what I needed. A collection of stories, with the strong, gentle voice of a storyteller.

And now! With delight and excitement! I shall read and livepost this treasure. *little happy book dance*

#BookSky #BookJoy let’s do it!

Ok! Next in #BookSky #BookJoy I’m going to livepost this delightful looking collection by the lovely @caitgauthor.bsky.social - I am not nervous doing this because I adore and trust Cait as a writer.

Also picture taken earlier and I’m sure she’ll recognize hospital carpet. (I’m fine.)

So I want to start by talking about this experimental essay by @ourweather.bsky.social which I received as a gift from the Cleveland State University Poetry Center.
January 5, 2026 at 9:20 PM
Ok, first, today’s #Booksky #Bookjoy is brought to you by this @aanpress.bsky.social bookmark that is so shiny and awesome and make me feel all the love.
January 5, 2026 at 9:15 PM
YES! CHECK IT!

AND STILL VERY HOT

I found it ... 💛

Wow. I am in an out of the house situation which I hoped would give me space to read this properly without interruption, but not quite yet through the *introduction* I keep stopping to process. Professor Mitchell’s work is stunningly constructed and vital. More later!
December 15, 2025 at 2:24 PM
I am no less confused by Instagram stories but @saintmarsalis.bsky.social I feel so loved!
December 4, 2025 at 12:45 AM
Well I just opened Bluesky to this. What is going on.

Must get coffee.

Also, I *do* have some birthday thoughts. I think you'll like them. More soon. ☕

Oh this is wonderful. I didn’t know! I have a little walnut Take This shield right in front of where I work and I look at it when I need strength. And yes I made it a little velvet stand. Though… I clearly need to dust and straighten it. Will do that today!

Gave myself a gift today and read Psychopomp & Circumstance by Eden Royce. Loved it so much. Immersive, beautiful, comforting, energizing. I am so deeply grateful that people are writing stories such as this. We are blessed.

Happy Thanksgiving from our home to yours.

Proud of cooking for my family.
November 28, 2025 at 12:22 AM
Atthis is fine. Never worry.

My DH is so cute.

I always feel all of you are with me. So Cheers.

Don’t know anyone at the cocktail reception but I’m used to being solo so I’m just soaking in the joy. Then someone comes up and says, “I appreciate your comfy shoes.”

… These are my good shoes.

(Butterfly meme: Is this gender perception?)

The joy of a wedding for a dear writer friend. Joy is so precious. Time is so fleeting.

I cherish each person, each friendship, each moment.

It is my best defiance, my best way to live. The people I’ve met are in my thoughts at every moment. With love.

And if I’m here, I must be loved too. ❤️🙂

And a little late golden hour Emily for you.
