Mental health is so much trickier to mind than say, cardiovascular health. Don't beat yourself up if it's a bad day. #WorldMentalHealthDay

Dear wasps: I am tolerant. I take you out in jars. So DON'T crawl in my shirt to sneaky sting me again.

Wasn't worried about #Ophelia until text fr co council. No wheelie bins to secure, but wonder how husband feels about bringing 8 goats in?

Hey, Elizabeth. Is your home still standing? Boats okay? Winds rising in Clare now, but so far just normal stormy. NE though=bad ElizabethRose Murray

Has made me think of pasts I didn't want to--sidestepping opportunities rather than either confronting or outing. That was wrong. #MeToo

If you are a meat eater (as I am), can you take a moment to appreciate the animal that gave you your meal before taking that first bite? So grateful to our good friend who so kindly and respectively ended our loved and cared for boys lives, as I knew would have to be done.1/2

Tangleweed and Brine is a seriously beautiful book. I have read it in delicious sips to make it last as long a possible. There were fabulous books in this category, so a very big congrats to Deirdre Sullivan and Karen Vaughan ✨. (Sorry I am so late with congrats!)

I ask all of our male allies in this industry, why have your journeys been so different from ours? I thank you Salma Hayek for sharing your story. Your voice is important and needed right now. You are creating a place of great healing 🌿 nytimes.com/interactive/20…

So unsettling to be far away from friends and family who are asleep in British Columbia, and not knowing if I should be doing more to warn them of a possible Tsunami. Not doing much writing this morning.
