I am having a hard time resisting the urge to run around screaming, "This is the bad place."

Look, here's the thing.

Fucking pay Sydette, because this person earned it years ago and you're benefiting from her work if you're reading this at all.

And then hire her unless you really love the idea of running a company without the best and brightest. With a better resume than yours, probably.
I don’t even want the money so much as a year in a central apartment with a washer dryer tub and the ability yo get a masters and health care

My Go fund me would be GREAT

( I’m fighting eviction at this point I just didn’t want to be a bother)

But lien a job is better
Gotta do this nightly because we’ll *waves* also again if you know a good recruiter send them my way!!

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes
NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

It's officially the pub day for "DILF: DID I LEAVE FEMINISM!" I can't show you a photo of my book on my desk because I DON'T HAVE ONE! You can get one, though, from your LOCAL BOOKSHOP! Here is A USEFUL LINK! bookshop.org/p/books/dilf...

I spent too much time being very online today and now I wanna lie on the floor and live there: a memoir
I had it with less PG-13 language and I changed it, lol.
Some (most?) days, I scroll Bluesky and just repeat, "what the hell?" over and over until someone pries my phone out of my hands.
Nope, my brain decided to peace out.
Oh God, now I have to shift from white Christian nationalism to figuring out what essays to workshop for my MFA residency.

My poor brain.
I did the interview. It went well.

I only rambled a little, lol.
Oh God, I am knee deep in my own work on white Christian nationalism this morning because I want to sound like I know what I'm talking about when I talk to a reporter.

Y'all, I have been researching this stuff for 19 years.

Imposter syndrome is a jerk.
Also, low key, I was thinking about an AAR panel.
My book will be 15 next year.

It's the effing little book that keeps going. It's absolutely wild to me.
Also, let's meditate for a minute on the fact that twenty-something Kelly was like, "yeah, I should write a dissertation on the Klan and Protestant nationalism" and almost 20 years later, there are still folks who are like, "can we chat with you about this?"

Like what.
Me: I think I have got this.

My brain: But what if you don't though?

Also, it made me realize that I still have enough of religion in me to be turning on light switches for rest of my life.
Like watching it for the first time as a parent is a harrowing experience.
That movie messed me up.
Okay, I am watching The Exorcist for the first time for an episode of @podonlyknows.bsky.social, and I have concerns already.
