I know there are far more important uses of the CW feature on mastodon, but I love that you can use it for spoilers (and, uh, please do...)!
People in the literary world: When you're working on gift guides and end-of-year lists, I'd be so grateful if you'd consider my memoir-in-essays, And You May Find Yourself. πŸ™ Let me know if you'd like me to send you a copy. Thank you. πŸ“š https://bookshop.org/p/books/and-you-may-find-yourself-sari-botton/18519104?ean=9781942762997

I would like to learn how to create a static site using something like Eleventy and convert my own website, but every time I open a bunch of links to try to start learning how, I immediately get overwhelmed. Does anyone have a favorite beginner resource they can point me to? (Already comfortable with HTML, CSS, a little JS, etc.)

I’m prepping a craft lecture on the braided essay and figure I could try a fediverse hashtag call. Favorite braided essays? Bonus if they’re linkable. #CNF #nonfiction #essays #Writing #WritingCommunity
Awkward #introduction time: I'm a journalist, critic, and once and future maker of #poems and #podcasts. I work at Salon where I'm Editor in Chief, and I teach #CNF and professional writing and editing in the #MFA program at #SpaldingUniversity. I just published my debut #memoir in #essays, Runaway, which is full of reporting and cultural criticism as well as my family's complicated #MeToo adjacent story. Here to talk #writing, #movies, #feminism, #BostonTerriers, and whatever. Hello!

Time for my #Introduction, I guess. πŸ‘‹

βœ’οΈ I'm a #writer & #historian (Hi #histodons) & former professor. I specialize in #envhist, esp. #PublicLands & #conservation. But my writing crosses genres from academic to creative nonfiction (#cnf).

I write a weekly newsletter that explores Place, History, & Writing: https://adamsowards.substack.com/ 🌲

Most of my work can be accessed at my website: https://adamsowards.net.

Much is in flux; I’ll lurk here to see if it promises equanimity. 😏
