Man convicted of crime was released on shady grounds and went on to assault someone. I can only imagine what right wingers would be saying if he was, say, an immigrant...

Every year the new recruits gossiped and speculated: why did Dana, normally fearless and never squeamish about wildlife, refuse to go into the woods alone in early spring? There are some things a young naturalist only needs to learn once. Never disturb the wolf mother. Her memory is long. #hbp118

Your yard isn’t yours. It belongs to the foxes at night, the birds in the morning, the squirrels in the afternoon, and the gophers whenever they feel like it. Moral of the story: You’re just a tenant in nature’s world. #natureisboss #rewild #coexist #treadlightly #earnyourkeep #shareresources #wild

What do you know of what we do now when the ticking is unbearable as 12am bleeds 2am spills 5am, daylight just a #chimera? Endless waiting for future forged in stars and not even a world on fire, burning, yearning, can alter the course of the sun. #blueskyrelay #writingprompt

He scrutinized the floorboards and scuffed them with the toe of a loafer and I could see him as he was: a #petulant child frustrated with the patient process of growing up. "Matt, I'm just not ready to get married. Do you see?" He glanced up with eyes that said no and I knew I was right. #vss365

On days when #apathy is a thing with wings and I like to take a walk through the city to see the strangers with stories flowing from their eyes, rich and raw with intention and possibility and history, and I am reminded that there is magic in the everyday. #blueskyrelay #writingprompt

It was the great #displacement of our time, led by the hurricanes droughts wildfires hail and smog that nature brought to return balance. The idealitlsts among us had grand plans of harmony, living in tune with the pulse of the earth, honoring memory--but in the end we had more of the same. #vss365

There is a theory that objects retain memories, holding traces of the fingertips and lives that touch them like warmth from a summer sun. Some call it panmnemism or panpsychism; some call it comforting, a piece of the lost. We call it our business philosophy: glassware with soul. #hbp111

A sky #complex with stars, bright tiny pinpricks so far from this earth our home where we look up and marvel that they are here after really mind-boggling history, billions upon trillions of cosmic seconds, and then we give them names and use them to tell our stories as if they are costumes. #vss365

Some days I find the world tilts, skews on its axis and the things I thought were fixed start to lose their way; it turns out they were fictions after all. #Mercury is moving backwards in a strange loop, a reminder that life is a constant recalibration, not a straight line. #vss365

The Bank of New York holds innumberable treasures: precious jewels, gold bars, famous paintings. This summer, watch as a team of misfits undertakes a dangerous journey to the deepest, most secure vault, only to find... a collection of unassuming pots. It's a bronze age bank heist. #hbp109

I've learned that sometimes the only way out of a net is to sit with it a while. In fighting I can get tangled, exhausted, caught tight. So I sit with it and run my fingers over the strange weave, making it familiar again. Usually I find I've tied the knots myself. #hbp107

#Liberation comes at dawn. The toddler rises from his bed and greets the spreading sun with waving flags and whoops of joy, clear and true, then runs down the hall with footsteps like drumbeats to tell his mom and dad the good news. We're going to teach him how to make coffee. #vss365

Is it too pretentious to say "because I'm the only one who can" 🤔 More seriously, I'm a firm believer in the idea of writing what you know. I write what I can based on my own experience, and I am eager to read what others have to say.

Can you remember what it felt like, that #modest process of getting older? That slow, patient, subtle shifting, until you realize you have left behind borrowed youth, which was never really yours, and stand wild and whole, feeling the world with parts of you that you didn't know existed. #vss365

I got the bank job same as any: I saw the opening online, sent a resume, and 3 weeks later I was learning how to use a Keurig. This is to say, it's not my dream job. And now someone has been leaving love notes on my car, hoping I might slip them an extra $20. Sir, I'm just a teller here. #hbp105

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

Once we were walking home from a party fortified by whiskey and #disarmed by wine and you told me that you decided to stop chasing pretty girls and I thought that you might kiss me then. I'm not sure if I felt flattered or rejected when we parted with an easy hug. #vss365
