An open invitation to write of the dreams or memories evoked by paper—recipes, scrapbooks, diaries, photos, etc.—in a giveaway for my new book, Tomorrow Will Bring Sunday’s News. #writingcommunity #Philadelphianovel #bookgiveaway #tursulowepress thehushandthehowl.substack.com/p/among-my-s...

Fantastic reporting in The Atlantic about buyer's remorse with the Trump crowd. Thank you, Yair Rosenberg. www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Take Note. Hope Rises.

There are not enough commas for our own ongoingness. Reflections on old words, newly found, at The Hush and the Howl. #writingcommunity #rediscovery #commas #ongoingness thehushandthehowl.substack.com/p/standing-o...

"Think, we said, of politics—of how wars might be ended by your roses, of how books might be read beneath the branches of your willow, of how lovers might lie down within the ocean of your ferns." #writingcommunity #seeds #thepowerofwords #peace thehushandthehowl.substack.com/p/the-bells-...

Thank you to @bethkephart.bsky.social for her outstanding #YA book, Going Over. My 8th grade book club is #reading this #historicalfiction which is so well researched and poetically written!

Read the letter from Danielle Sassoon to Emil Bove about Eric Adams. My latest: www.muellershewrote.com/p/the-sassoo...

Trump is the worst person this county has ever produced.

On choosing to continue to create and to believe in beauty, in a world of noise and chaos. #substack #writingcommunity #beauty #findingourvoice #wematter thehushandthehowl.substack.com/p/valentines...

On the enduring condition of never fully knowing the people in our lives. A prose poem on #thehushandthehowl. #writingcommunity #prosepoem #zinnias thehushandthehowl.substack.com/p/zinnias-fo...

On being the wife of an artist, at the Hush and the Howl: thehushandthehowl.substack.com/p/all-the-pa... #writingcommunity #wifeofartist

It's the surprise that I find so surprising. #angrytrumpvoters #trumpchaos #trumpdisappointment #nomandate

“The Trump bump in consumer confidence is already over. Tariff threats, stock market swings and rapidly reversing executive orders are causing Americans across the political spectrum to feel considerably more pessimistic about the economy than [before Trump] took office.” www.wsj.com/economy/cons...

Dear @Doge If there is nothing to hide. Hide nothing

On rising to this moment and writing through unnatural and natural silences, inspired by #TillieOlsen and #VirginiaWoolf and #ASketchofthePast #writingcommunity #findingourvoices thehushandthehowl.substack.com/p/on-writing...

BREAKING: we just blocked Musk & Trump out of the Treasury systems! Court order just secured — big win by us at @sddaction.bsky.social & our partners including @publiccitizen.bsky.social!

Is all writing an act of revenge? thehushandthehowl.substack.com/p/all-books-... #writingcommunity #writingwithcomplexity #writingtounderstand #handmadebooks

Let me get this straight: RFK Jr.’s idea of fixing his ethics issues is to hand his stake over to his son? The son who works at the same law firm that RFK Jr. made millions off of? RFK Jr.'s nomination should not move forward one inch until we get answers.

In plain English: Republicans in Congress plot more severe budget cuts to health care, nursing homes, and school lunches to pay for tax breaks for billionaires like Elon Musk. It sounds absurd, but it’s true.

@wyden.senate.gov@ Thank you for all you are doing to shine a light on the #illegalactivites of #Musk and #DOGE and of course Chief Criminal #Trump. Please be as active and visible as you possibly can. Please rally even more Ds around you.

We need to be calling all of our electeds, at all levels of government and insist they fight Trump/Musk's savage attack on US govt, the reckless tariffs, his unacceptable nominees. This has become a national fight, a true all hands on deck moment...👇 www.hopiumchronicles.com/p/trump-is-a...

@governorwalz.mn.gov, you are doing fantastic things in your state once again, but we need your voice nationally too. We need you loud and clear, defending us all against #trumptariffs #trumpcruelty #trumpderangement. Please get your megaphone out so that everyone, no matter which party, can hear.

The future of the #DNC has been placed in the hands of @kenmartin.bsky.social @malcolmkenyatta.bsky.social @davidhogg.bsky.social, and so it begins. We need robust statewide messaging against #trumptariffs etc. via channels that inform those who didn't vote with us or at all about what is at stake.
