I think so many writers identify with gardening because the average stranger won't read your garden either.

Created two poetry covers for @wwph.bsky.social this year!

Microsoft Office and my building's plumbing have been taking turns kicking my entire ass this week.

Proof of life

Gonna try to live tweet the NBA draft and season 4 of The Bear at the same time

My most controversial take is that the third season of The Bear is slightly better than the consensus

Maybe struggling to commit to this app and rewatching The Bear will fix me

Magnolia trees evolved before bees existed so they are pollinated by beetles

Maybe committing to this app and rewatching Frasier will fix me

I'm always thinking about the Tom Petty cameo in THE POSTMAN

re: today's horror movie discourse, I will simply say: if someone claims their art "isn't political," you don't really have to take them seriously ever again. that's all!

I wrote about visiting Frida Kahlo's Casa Azul, and making art while in pain, and resisting "inspiration" narratives open.substack.com/pub/lillydan...

Well today I had an intake with a new therapist AND my annual review with my boss and both went well but I'm still sort of spinning with the reflection of it all

Going through a total life upheaval which means for the short term I'm bumming streaming logins from my mom and oh boy does she come up with some delightfully corny boomer passwords.

Not a film but he is so so good as Cooter Burger in 30 Rock

Baltimore parent-writers, I’m hosting a free writing circle at The Womb Room the last Monday of each month starting next week. Come out to write, make time for yourself and meet other parent-writers. Help me build this community at a time when we’re gonna need it. www.wombroom.mom/service-page...

hey dude, I noticed you attempting to carve a small space for joy in the face of overwhelming sadness. kind of problematic considering all the horrors

Grateful for the rain

Matthew Zapruder's STORY OF A POEM is a special read.

Entering the season of dark bars filled with candles with the subtlety of an anvil falling from the sky

Maybe this extremely nice and fancy cocktail can save me

Once again going to attempt to reorient to this place.

Take it from a librarian, the smallest things count! Website traffic, social media likes, newsletter sign-ups - this is vital data, evidence we use to prove that we are needed. And of course, every item you borrow, every resource you use, every program you drop in on ACTIVELY helps us.

I want to live in the Mexican Octopus House

Trying to be more On Here than Over There but it is Hard

Need a cowork and cocry space

Just interviewed to potentially join my first board of directors and I feel both very excited and very old.

An update from us at MJP 💚

More information about the 1729 Prize. We will have updates and next steps that we are taking as a press, including a transition plan, by next week.

1729 Prize Update 1/3

We really went from spring has sprung to calculating how many uncomfortably warm evenings we can go before we pull out the a/c units in about 5 minutes

A letter from our founding editor Ian Anderson

I'll say here what I said on Twitter: I believe this and we should have said it earlier. I'm fully aware it's too little too late and won't offer any excuses. I'm happy to discuss with anyone who cares to talk via phone or Zoom.

We have received questions about our stance on Israel-Palestine so we wanted to make this clear: We stand with Palestinian people and condemn the actions of Israel—and the complacency of the US government—for what we believe is the ongoing genocide of Palestinian people.

The thing that's always forgotten in perennial book blurb discourses is how deeply annoying blurbs are for book cover designers 😤

I know I am getting older and wiser because the edible is peaking at the perfect time for dinner

I am 39 years and one day old and it honestly feels more like 390 years and one day old.

My most toxic trait is I sometimes tweet at NBA podcasters

Irritated to learn that I am immediately intrigued if the word "saffron" appears in a fashion ad

fun idea! lets all just quit our jobs and read books instead

Got the house to myself for a few days which means I'm definitely going to watch that bones documentary and fall asleep before it finishes

Everyday is a new opportunity to feel unending sadness.

I've started an actual morning skin care routine and...I think it's working. What is life.
