I recently had to take notes and when referring to them later I could remember how my handwriting looked on the page. So yes, I think it’s true that writing by hand creates memory in a physical way. #writing

Just heard @lacymjohnson.bsky.social read her piece in Emergence Magazine on the haunting legacy of the oil industry on the land in SE Texas. Feeling into my deep well of disgust. I just remain so sad about what we’ve done with gift of our beautiful world. And so angry at Exxon. Diabolical.

The dog didn’t eat my homework, but my teen daughter left home today. Is that reason enough to miss my school assignment deadline? #emptynest #studentlife #maturestudents #writing #amwriting

Mid November at parallel 49 and these petunias are still thriving. A friend started them from seed and gave the seedlings away—gifts I enjoy every day. #gardening 🌱🌱🌱🪴

My newest poetry crush, “Quiet” by Victoria Adukwei Bulley. This also comes as an audiobook. After hearing her read so beautifully at the Vancouver Writers Festival, I’m tempted! #poetry #poems #writing #reading #writingcommunity
