A visual history of watermelon in America. My latest @BitterSouth story traces the evolution of this symbolic fruit, in abundant times and terrible times. Got to spit some seeds, too. bittersoutherner.com/featureā¦
My mother saved up to buy me an absurdly expensive fountain pen years ago and I didnāt appreciate it at the time. Today, I used it to sign with a literary agency. Never question mothers.
My sister had a talking Pee-wee Herman doll as her car mascot. In heavy traffic weād roll down the windows pull the string and let it cackle. While chanting āI know you are but what am I?ā Never failed to crack us up.
Missed seeing Mavis Staples four times during pandemic concert chaos but last night I finally got to hear a legend live on stage.
This is my kind of bling bag. Still a bit shocked, but maybe this will amplify the voice of a whistleblower who hoped that his story brings change to a broken agricultural system.
Hereās a link to the story. This man took a risk to stand up and speak out. Apologies, I should have done this sooner. bittersoutherner.com/featureā¦
Sit your mothers and nanas down and make them tell you how to make those things they make. For Motherās Day weekend, hereās to celebrating matriarchs everywhere. Miss @ExcuseMyFly gives tribute and shares her gorgeous brown oyster soup for @SAVEURMAG saveur.com/culture/matriarchā¦
Brown oyster stew for the mothers. Sorry thereās no smell-o-vision on here. Recipe by @ExcuseMyFly
Oh my word.
This is for Blood Sweat & Tears, my @BitterSouth story about Vidalia onions and forced labor in the fields. Just about broke my heart to bear witness, so all I ask is for people to be the change.

We back, baby. We were never really gone. But some have always taken delight in predicting the demise of @SAVEURMAG and, unlike them, staying part of the continuing conversation is better than hot takes. More voices, more stories TK.

āWhen evil things happen, some of us get angry and scream at the tops of our lungs. Others pray silently. Some just want to work for change. In my mind, we need all three.ā

Green eyes and a love of old books by chatty authors. Thatās what I got from my Irish family. Go bragh.
With all due respect, why are authors still being told we wonāt ever make any money, so just do it for the art? Iām so utterly tired.
"You're never going to make me any money, so just write what you want to write."
