Ok y’all. I have a very important question. I’m setting up the bookcase in my office, and I only have space for THREE genres. The rest will have to go away to my husband’s office which is a dark den I rarely enter. I’m keeping poetry, but for the other two, I’m forced to choose…

Here is a great stanza by the late Jane Greer (@NorthDakotaJane) in her honor: No one will say it, but we know today’s fresh-flamed hibiscus flower reveals in one brief, glorious show our birth, our life, our final hour.

Really rough day. Husband is in one of those black depressive funks men get into where they refuse to tell you what it's about, and had a really bad client call at end of day. Have a 1.5 day vacation already scheduled over next two days though, so should have time to recover…

I added "It's a green flag if she likes Pride and Prejudice and Anne of Green Gables" to my Hinge profile as a joke and I went from 1 match a day to like 2-3. Feels like i'm catfishing white women

The feminine urge to open a book store with a coffee shop that also sells art supplies and flowers and little finches

One thing I"m weirdly grateful for as a missionary kid is that I almost utterly escaped what seems like the surround-sound intensity of evangelical Christian culture while growing up. I was absolutely *surrounded* by the Bible and by gospel preaching but my free hours & daily…

My family and I visited the National Zoo yesterday and saw fennec foxes, which made me think of this great David Landrum poem from NVR 1.1

We decided to do a screen time detox for our 3 year old. He had only been watching about an hour day here and there, but I am sorry to report that after 10 days with no screens, he has now started to open many more books that he previously ignored and is sitting for longer and…

Hey @grok, based on my tweets, what historical figure do I most resemble?

Lukewarm Christianity has become so normal that Biblical Christianity seems radical.

I’m five chapters deep into @MichaelFKane’s book, “After Moses,” and I have to say that I am having an absolute BLAST with this one. It’s been a great month of reading for me, from @SAgonson’s “While the Elephants Danced,” to Gene Wolfe’s Book of the New Sun, and now After…

You guys I’m in a WhatsApp with some poets and we started matching people to LOTR characters they resemble and the group leader suggested Erkenbrand for me! I don’t remember a ton about him but from what I do I am deeply flattered
