My essay is up at @literaryhub.bsky.social about the late, great Lana Clarkson and other promising young women whose lives have been derailed or destroyed by men. It’s also about my childhood sexual abuse and how I have tried, and failed, to reckon with it.

Loving this new trend in my students. Instead of family emergencies right before big due dates, this semester they all have explosive stomach viruses. Before every major due date.

5 different students came up to me today and told me that they'd changed their schedules all around to have me again next semester. It was a really good fiftieth birthday despite my inability to embrace crone status. 🥹

My birthday is tomorrow and I am turning very old. I am both celebrating the tremendous number of decades I have been alive and also dying my roots and maybe looking up the more affordable plastic surgery procedures.
I appreciate you all. Someone tell me a joke. This is a lot.

Was thinking about getting one of those mini computers just for writing. The ones that do nothing but type, like a small, hi tech typewriter. And they cost like twice as much as a normal laptop??

Lit mag friends: I have a couple of undergrads who would be amazing readers for your journal. And one is looking for a summer internship, specifically (for grad hours, unpaid).
Anyone have a spot to offer?

Beshear: Let me be clear. The president has both the funding and the authority to fund snap during a shutdown. In fact, every other president in every other shutdown has done so. People going hungry in this instance is a choice that this president has made.
