Do you ever wish you could give your younger self assigned reading? Wish I would’ve read Pam Houston’s sharp and un-put-down-able collection of short stories when I was in my early 20s. Also this book slaps if you haven’t read it 💙📚

Looking up and out, I’m starting to wonder about the implications of the next Trump admin on Utah’s public lands. Last time around two of our national monuments got reduced by millions of acres to pave the way for oil & gas. This is the underside of a natural bridge within Bears Ears National Mon.

This is your sign to book that trip, see the world, and follow all these awesome writers. Give the Women's Travel Writers Starter Pack a follow: go.bsky.app/JyqzzsN

Anybody else out there doing NaNoWriMo? I’m working on a mashup of All Fours, White Lotus and Strangers With Candy bc absurdist seems like a good tone rn
