• I was present in all of these stories! Arizona, cupcakes, and journal-burning. Go.

• "I'm the only conscious human in a world of sheep." Ouch, but so true to life!

• One of my all-time favorites of PinkAppleCore's photo sets.

• Em is doing this thing where you can share a secret anonymously with her. I think sometimes you need to say something and have it become part of how someone knows you, and that's what I was thinking of when I asked what you needed to get out. But there is definitely a time for anonymity too. She publishes the secrets periodically in a post with her responses to some of them.

• Sweet brilliant Maya announces a giveaway of her book of poetry, Apologies to an Apple, which I read a couple months ago and very much enjoyed. She's not the one giving it away, but she's got the details for you on her blog.

• Bethany is in England and posting some creative non-fiction in this strange striking story-chattering voice that I find terribly enchanting.
