Opinion | Trump Has Reawakened the Resistance

www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/o...

A narrow, fog-draped view of the anthology cover: tree branches tangle above and red leaves peek through frost. The scene is cold, restrained, and mournful—mirroring the gothic grief and spectral justice of Alicia Cay’s “Blue Bride.”

Alicia Cay’s “Blue Bride” is a gothic ghost story of grief, revenge, and the secrets families try to bury.

DeAnna Knippling’s story “When You Can Walk Away But You Can’t Leave” is part workplace horror, part tech-haunt, and all confrontation.

Some ghosts don’t linger out of sorrow—they stay for love.

“Dance Hall Days” by Jamie Ferguson is a nostalgic, heartwarming ghost story of friendship, music, and one last mission from the other side.

A deep blue forest fading into fog. This image feels nostalgic and gently uncanny—perfectly evoking the atmosphere of “That Lake House Summer” by Deb Logan.

A family vacation. A lake house. A ghost in the cupboard.

Deb Logan’s “That Lake House Summer” is a reflective, gently spooky coming-of-age tale about love, family, and what lingers in places we thought we knew.

Opinion | To Take On Trump, Think Like a Lion

"So let us rouse and rub noses and greet and remind ourselves who we are."

Interview: “The Only Thing Left” by Shannon Lawrence - Blackbird Publishing Restoring an old house seemed like a fresh start—but the house’s past, and its restless ghosts, have other plans.

Haunted houses don’t scare Sydney. Not anymore.

In “The Only Thing Left”, Shannon Lawrence explores fury, loss, and the kind of haunting that has nothing to do with ghosts—and everything to do with what we refuse to surrender.

A fog-shrouded forest bathed in blue light. Bare, twisting branches loom overhead while the ground is scattered with vivid red leaves. The atmosphere is hushed, otherworldly, and slightly ominous—perfectly evoking the haunted themes of “Haunting Chloe” by James Pyles.

A frozen lake. A lonely girl. A ghost boy who won't let go. In James Pyles' "Haunting Chloe", a winter vacation turns sinister when the ice refuses to stay still—and neither does the past.

I spoke too soon. I'm definitely not caught up. :)

I'm catching up after catching up on life after being at a writing workshop for a week. :) Here's Meyari's interview!

Our morning hike.

CU Remains Silent While Peers Advocate for Academic Freedom - Bucket List Community Cafe CU hasn't signed a letter defending academic freedom, while other local schools have, prompting criticism from students and faculty.

My sister Michaele was quoted in this article today. ❤️

“It is shameful and cowardly that CU’s administration refuses to stand up for higher education in solidarity with our peers,” [Dr. Michaele] Ferguson said.

Just published: Haunted Places, edited by me!

I ❤️ this anthology! It was so much fun to put together!

There are crumbling mansions, mysterious shadows in mirrors, and even a haunted train! 🚂

Rosie and Oscar on today’s hike. 💕

This morning’s hike.

Bedtime.

Our research shows: the resistance is alive and well | Erica Chenoweth, Jeremy Pressman and Soha Hammam Street protests today are far more numerous and frequent than skeptics might suggest

That Americans seem to be rediscovering the art, science and potency of noncooperation–combined with a robust protest capacity and legal action–shows that resistance against Trump’s agenda in America is not only alive and well. It is savvy, diversifying and probably just getting started. t.ly/sMd7X
