I told my @saloneurope pals I wrote this for @thefiddlehd & it's here! So cool that they ask writers to recommend favorite music, poetry, dance & other arts. One more reason to love The Fiddlehead. And as always - #Stromae! thefiddlehead.ca/content/sto…...

#T1D here in Switzerland, and YES I'll be watching! I grew up in KC, so I'm a Chiefs fan for life. But now here's another reason! Can't wait!

Instead of cutting costs for working families, Donald Trump is slashing the federal investments that fund their lifesaving care, fuel their local economy, and lower their health care costs.
It’s cruel, short-sighted, and will cost jobs and devastate millions of families.

“A sane government would never do this.” — @jflier, former dean of Harvard Medical School
Universities are reeling. Elon Musk and allies are celebrating.
Looking at the NIH’s abrupt cut to funding — which many scientists say will be devastating.

❛ Writing is like getting married. One should never commit oneself until one is amazed at one's luck.

I just read an article deriding online activism saying that posting will not stop fascism. The author completely ignored how social media, with its many flaws, is a lifeline for sick & disabled people. We connect, build power together, and grieve when one of us is gone too soon

This is Heather’s best friend E. I don’t know how else to say this, but H passed away earlier this morning. More to come from me eventually.

The tribute to David Lynch at Bob’s Big Boy continues to grow. Lynch went to Bob’s everyday for seven years for coffee and a milkshake. As far as memorials go, this impromptu shrine is very touching and uplifting

Congratulations, Carmen! I look forward to reading it. @SalonEurope, Carmen is a Romanian-American (w/a sprinkling of Swiss) writer and teacher to read & revere... If you don't already know each other, I'm super happy to make this introduction.

SUCH a great short story collection. I continue to think about these characters and the collection as a whole. Grateful to @NecessaryFic for the opportunity to review it.

Nice to see this Plath family photo and the thread that follows it. Nostalgic and tragic and hopeful all at once -- which is kinda what nostalgia often is, I guess.
