Poor Ravioli has been at the shelter for a long time. 💔 He's very handsome and wants affection badly, but he's prone to getting overstimulated. Posting in hopes that maybe a quiet, cat-savvy person in Vermont might see this! www.hsccvt.org/Cats#sl_embe...
Thank you so much 🥹
I don’t know how to pitch essays anymore but I really want to write one about going engagement ring shopping and the feelings that it brought up 💍
Yes, I’m also talking to my therapist; why do you ask?
i believe that at 18 every american should be entered into a draft, not for military service, but for one year of mandatory retail or restaurant work

My boyfriend made me a steak dinner last night because I asked him too (I am on Day one and my body needed that iron) and it was so delicious and I love him so much.
A man checked out 100 books on Jewish history, Black history, and LGBTQ+ education from a library only to burn them
Thank you so so much! ❤️
what a horrible feeling it is to pay taxes to this infernal country
I felt the same way as I sent off my money for my small business taxes. Like eat my unwashed ass!
Between the years 2018 and 2022, the suicide rate among Black youth rose by more than 50%, for the first time surpassing white youth.
Black mental health matters.
I’m very much not packed to move in with my bf tomorrow and I hate this so much 😭
Chat about in Baltimore if I get to go to that one. I hope that I get to prioritize my own work more in the next year. That would be so lovely ♥️
But that’s all I got asked about, which ended up giving me a lot of anxiety because I forgot how to discuss my own writing or talk about it. It’s probably just projection—I do that a lot—but the most that I talked about my writing was with my Uber driver, Tom. Maybe I’ll have more things to 2/3
Being at AWP this year caused me a lot of anxiety because I realized that I’m no longer used to just being Katherine, a writer. I’m now known as Katherine, the owner of a bookstore, which is…an interesting experience. People just want to talk about the store, which I understand! I love the store! 🧵
@ambersparks.bsky.social I FOUND YOU! I have missed you ❤️
Right?! Like gimme the things that I NEED. I’m going to have to start bringing a wash cloth with me to all hotels from now on.
Update: I have two wash clothes coming and I feel blessed
There’s nothing worse than being at a hotel conference and you’re about to shower and you can’t because…there’s no wash cloths. Like, why are hotels no longer providing wash cloths? I’m Black! I need one of these!
Well, I guess that I’m on this app now too! I missed Twitter and I’m at AWP, and I’m full of anxiety (and tacos), so now I’m here 👋🏾
