@mcrane_12 Yes. Does it count extra if I’m writing a queer sports novel? 🤸🏼‍♀️

@eb_bartels I have started tapping on objects to wake them up, only to realize that they are not my iPhone.

Words are my mother, their quiet brawn has nursed me into a person. Punctuation is my father, rules enforced on my every thought. Each sentence is my sister, we make pages in the same book. Reader, you are my friend, you take me as I am—the unreliable narrator. #cnftweet #family

The US women won a silver medal in gymnastics in Tokyo today. By many standards and opinions, this will be considered a "failure." I would like to share my perspective on why this is a massive victory. @GymCastic

Ever catch yourself joining in the chorus of this-week-is-dragging and how-is-it-only-Tuesday and thank-god-it’s-hump-day, then realize that you’re wishing for your life to hurtle faster toward its end, as if you don’t lie awake at night fearing your nonexistence? #cnftweet

Do you ever try to calculate how many times you'll wake up, go to work, crack your knuckles, jingle your keys, run the dishwasher, feel stressed or irritated or depleted, send a text, check Instagram, turn off the lights, and go to sleep again? Yet we get so few Junes. #cnftweet

When we covered schizophrenia in AP Psych, I thought of my distant relative, that specter in leatherbound albums. I dreaded my 20s, when a switch might flip, when I'd inherit his wild, vacant gaze. Nobody warned me that starvation ran in the family too. #cnftweet #mentalhealth

Mom put me in her lap, let me push the gas as she steered up the hill to our house. Sometimes on the way to school she'd start to veer off the road and cry "Oh nooo! Which way do I gooo?!" Mom was teaching us agency, how terrifying and thrilling and freeing it could be. #cnftweet

If I could write poetry, I would hide behind impenetrable imagery. With a single comma, maybe, I’d knife your heart. A cleverly placed indent would leave you hanging, wanting more. But I only speak in prose. I’m just here, unarmed and bare. #cnftweet #poetry

"When was the last time an external factor brought me joy?" I said to the mild air that brushed my bare wrists as I walked to the store. No deep work, no exercise, no controlled substances, no effort. Just a bloom of good. I took a clipping and carried it home. #cnftweet #growth
