I deliberately used a clickbait title here. Let's make this act of courage known. Let's shout it from the rooftops. I THOUGHT THIS WAS A GOOD STORY--THEN I LEARNED THAT IT WAS A HEROIC ONE.

Hey, Virginia, how about a reasonable compromise? Just rename it as "Stonewall High School"
Honor some real American heroes
It's online! (And, seriously, if you haven't read the book, you ought to consider it. People speak very highly of it.)

Fairy Tale - short story usually that is part of folklore/folktales . But did you know the most famous take of them, the German tales we've all come to hear & love, aren't exactly fairy tales? But really, they're considered "Wonder tales" or, tales of wonder.🧵
Story nerds!
Mostly I've given up on Twitter. But:
MY POST OFFICE ADDRESS IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONAL. The USPS closed the office this morning and has no idea when they will forward mail sent there to me. If you need my street address, please contact me. Thanks.
I've sworn off on Twitter. But just this once, I'll make an exception.

As Stephen King probably said, if you're going to write a Halloween story, sooner or later it's got to get icky. UNDER A HARVEST MOON - Part 20 does the job up good. (And the story is two-thirds complete!)

This gave me goosebumps.
“My 18-year-old daughter was at Starbucks, alone, the other night.
A man came up to her and started talking to her.
A barista handed her “an extra hot chocolate someone forgot to pick up.”
How grateful I am for people who look out for other people!
Side note: She felt safe and did not remove the lid, but let them know.
She said the whole team was watching over her the rest of the time she was there.💚
Thank you to Starbucks for having a great team.”
