holy shit. a yr ago I lost my publishing job in nyc. it was a total blindside & for months I felt like a worthless failure. but after I was fired I started getting accepted to MFA programs. now I’m at LSU fully funded + I’m EIC of something? nobody’s assistant anymore babe!!! 🥲

my undergrad poetry students rly want a presentation on how to break into publishing, one even has a chapbook, but they know zero about this hellscape we call po-biz. LOL.
so like, what would you say to them? aside from explaining submittable & giving a few mag recs

weird part of AWP as an unknown writer is the sheer imposter syndrome you get recognizing your favs, knowing instantly that no one recognizes you back, & if they do it’s bc of thin parasocial connection. I met many kind folks, but some were super standoffish, which was a bummer!

all these "police-involved shooting" headlines are doing rhetorical gymnastics to avoid saying the truth: an officer fired 7 bullets into an unarmed man's BACK, in front of his young children. TELL THE TRUTH.

I went to the doctor about a compulsion I suffer from that makes me v ashamed. it was rly, rly hard to face a doctor's scrutiny. idk why I'm putting it here. I guess bc although I feel shame, finally going to a doctor is a huge step & I should be proud.
