All three are daunting. Advice? #WriterSky14 Jul 2026 02:23 +0000at://did:plc:ydf774wx4is2pu5probdmhpr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mql5mbnxjs2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/jmrwitch.bsky.social/post/3moyrmrkp4c2zVoted and got my first nibble on my ekphrasis manuscript. Dug up and replanted a slew of Rose of Sharons. Got coffee at a local (not big chain) shop. Robin hatchlings fledged. Today has been a good day. https://static.klipy.com/ii/d7aec6f6f171607374b2065c836f92f4/60/2d/Rzn7ifKR.gif?hh=256&ww=244&mp4=tUYWf9HMvXUV&webm=eomOAvRUiivKv24 Jun 2026 01:35 +0000at://did:plc:ydf774wx4is2pu5probdmhpr/app.bsky.feed.post/3moyrmrkp4c2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/jmrwitch.bsky.social/post/3mkwebona722bDid a ton of new plantings and removal of dead projects today to celebrate Beltane and had a magnificent Lavender latte to start the day.

Can anyone recommend a good anthology of queer lit? I’ trying to develop a course and am rather surprised by the lack of anthologies from major publishing houses. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. #BookSky #QueerSky #AcademicSky #HigherEdSky https://media.tenor.com/S0N1UHxymTUAAAAC/reading-rainbow.gif?hh=244&ww=39004 Feb 2026 22:07 +0000at://did:plc:ydf774wx4is2pu5probdmhpr/app.bsky.feed.post/3me2v6p5hxs2nhttps://bsky.app/profile/jmrwitch.bsky.social/post/3mdt7fdtkm22wYes, it’s ok. #frogandtoad #punchingnazis #fightice #democracy #antifascism #antifa #liberalsky01 Feb 2026 20:49 +0000at://did:plc:ydf774wx4is2pu5probdmhpr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mdt7fdtkm22whttps://bsky.app/profile/jmrwitch.bsky.social/post/3mcppgikzvk2zPretty sure this is how my students see me (although not as handsome 😆). #TeacherSky #EducationSky #HigherEdSky18 Jan 2026 18:00 +0000at://did:plc:ydf774wx4is2pu5probdmhpr/app.bsky.feed.post/3mcppgikzvk2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/jmrwitch.bsky.social/post/3mbemfdncr22gCat taxed paid for January.
