I'm in the part of October where I'm working six jobs for two weeks because capitalism
Look, if you put dinosaurs in your content, I will engage with it. This is a threat
Williamstown Theater is also a mostly male season. WTF?
Playwrights Horizons is putting out a male season of theater next year, so that's exciting and new.

With the prevalence of skinny tok, I feel more empowered than ever to finish this queer ya werewolf book with a fat main character.
A screenshot of Instagram flagging an old post of mine for removal about my students trying to understand Reza Abdoh's Law of Remains
Literally can't make sense of why this post was flagged by Instagram. It's from three years ago. My best, and most uncharitable, read is that Abdoh is Iranian, so now this post is bad?
VOTER: “But people will die!” (if you kick them of Medicaid)
ERNST: “Well, we all are going to die.”
First run in over a year in the books. Take that sciatica
I'm in that phase of singledom where I'm wondering if I'll ever have a meaningful kiss again... According to every romcom, this is when the truly meaningful banging, I mean kissing, begins

Want to feel way too much and like you're holding your breath because someone is just too hot? Icarus by K. Ancrum. Literal goosebumps on every page and absolutely gorgeous prose
Counting Crows has been stuck in my head for three days. Just living my best life thinking about Marjorie dreaming of horses
Men’s rights activists on Twitter took a screenshot of this and are now screaming that I am a witch.
My bit of defiance for the day was creating an AP Language Review based around the NEA Five and funding the arts... Hope I don't get fired
Let’s be clear about what’s happening here: The President is using the power of his office to enrich himself and his family, offering “meme coins” and other shady crypto ventures to rake in billions in exchange for political favors.
But kids shouldn’t have more than five pencils? Seriously?
Today is a four-job day! We're making that mediocre money and hoping like hell for an opportunity to sleep our way to the middle!
Or you could read ‘My Soul to Keep’ by Tananarive Due, or ‘The Pale Lady’ by Alexandre Dumas, or ‘Fledgling’ by Octavia Butler.
Did George pay y’all for this? Or are you being goofy on your own?

This Ravenous Fate by Hayley Dennings
House of Hunger by Alexis Henderson.

My music taste refuses to update from high school so I spent the morning to singing along to Ben Folds Five's album Whatever & Ever Amen. Still banging.
I am now working four jobs. That's too many jobs. It's getting in the way of doing things. But it's also how I afford novelties like eating and paying rent. I would really appreciate a patron if anyone's loaded
Joyous and fat, Meaks is delighted they are allowed at a vape shop in St. Petersburg, gleefully pointing at a window sign that says "we allow homosexuals"
I felt so seen
We went on a boat! We saw so many dolphins and sting rays and manatees and I've never felt more like a child
In gator country during a pink moon watching some dolphins and making fairy rings with a five year old. You can't say we don't have fun
All the plays he's written so far are great, but I'm a big fan of the this one. Nbd, but I was kinda Eric Marlin's best man and we conjure the dead on the reg

I'm officially outing myself: I'm writing a queer YA novel that you're really gonna wanna read. I was made to craft the right level of absurdity, horror, rage, and unstoppable crushing imaginations put to deviant uses. Cheerleaders are involved. #gocornfields
I said I was only going to buy 5 books at awp this year. I ended up buying 16. Considering I live very much hand to mouth, this was not the wisest decision. But I'm still very happy about it today
