I get to meet Percival Everett next month at NCTE! I can’t help but hear “Bilgewater!” in Beidler’s voice in my head. Another memory you’ll appreciate: I told Beidler about the ST:TNG Mark Twain episodes. He was previously unaware. Perhaps one of my proudest moments as a scholar.

Finally reading James and it’s sooooo good. Phil Beidler would have loved it.

No one should come to either of us for medical advice.

Sam @sammiekate.bsky.social · 15h

That being said, please don’t take medical advice from politicians or people on the internet. If someone tries to say they did their own research please ask them what a t-value is. And if they know, please send them my way because all I know is it’s on a chart.

Listen I’m pretty smart and I’ve been through a lot but learning stats is one of the hardest things I’ve done in my life. I cry about an average of once a week.

I finished Oathbound today and I’ve never googled something so fast! 😭

We are getting a 4th book! But I do appreciate that you had faith in me all the way to 91%! 😂🙌🏽

Coach @coachhectico.bsky.social · May 7

I was out of the loop. I’m 92% done with @tracydeonn.bsky.social ‘s Oathbound and I was like “Man, there’s a lot to address before I finish this journey” I was not aware we were getting a book 4. This also makes sense because I was like how are we gonna tackle all these points in like 4 chapters?

Mars was the Roman god of war.
That’s why we say ‘martial arts,' ‘martial law,' and 'court martial.'

Marshall was the Roman god of designer fashion at discount prices.
That’s why we have Marshall’s.
