The fish monger and I have resolved our beef. (Or maybe he just doesn't recognize me with my hair down.)

Except when they live in a town I have to visit for a conference or something and they let me crash on their couch.

There should be a law that all my friends have to live in the same town as me.

Fiiiiiig! Malbec rosemary specifically.

I should really start checking the news before logging on here because What

A second hand bookstore shelf. Stacked horizontally are The Truth About Sex (Arthur) Almost Sex (DiMarco) The Dirt on Sex (Lookadoo) The Act of Marriage (LaHaye) Pure (Inserra) Love, Dad (McDowell) What I wish my parents knew about my sexuality (McDowell)

primary source time

The hardest part of writing a dissertation is the embarrassment you feel purchasing a fat stack of purity literature at the second-hand store.

The most likely thing is that I'll force myself to fly, but if I do end up road-tripping I'd probably mix it up and do one route there and another back

Very graphic ducklings, my goodness

I've not, but my mom lived in that part of the country in the 70s and told me she read War and Peace while driving out there.

My paper accepted to AAR! Which means it's time to either overcome my fear of flying or prepare for a three day road trip. So where should I stop between Virginia and Colorado?

The acting, the music, the cinematography. All of it is so so good

I should rewatch Sinners again

Part of a Calico and an orange cat fighting the Calico front left paw is jamming and waving around frantically the orange cat is just a blur of action the artist is a fantastic job of catching movement and action and Ridiculousness of two cats sparring and The Craze desperation of creatures that are not actually fighting that hard but are acting real frantic

Top contenders this road trip are "LIGMAH" and "9 3L3V3N"

New Englanders just be putting anything on their vanity plates huh

please appreciate my commitment to color coordination

You ever accidentally stumble into asking an academic about the thing that turns out to be an incredible footnote they had to cut? Amazing feeling.

Do you think your therapist calls his therapist as soon as he's done seeing you?

Do what I do. Be so tall that all your pants end up capris :/

over here living my life such that the majority of devout Christians i personally know are anarchist transgender kinksters. What do you mean they aren't all like that

I would like to humbly request that things stop happening until I have finished the dissertation.

Why don't you stop then

I'm sorry, is it or is it not your responsibility to educate them? Whose fault is that?

So grateful to have my first-ever fiction piece "Lighthouse" published in The Lindenwood Review! This tiny flash story has been 9 years in the making and I'm so glad it found a home.

you beat me to it

Was my experience atypical or something?

Reading some shit from the social sciences about how kids decide which college to attend. The established literature does not seem to factor in "I must get as far away from my family as I can," "I need to be the most unique person in this graduating class" or "I've been deported--now what"?

The sun is out and the air is pleasant outside. Relatedly, life is worth living again.
