@jessnirvanapoet "When My Brother Was an Aztec" by Natalie Diaz.

do yall know of poetry books about siblings? I feel like I don’t read books where poets write about their siblings and I’ve been writing about mine lately and would like some points of reference

Today is my birthday, so any (literary) editors out there should DM me with assignments. No, really.

@fklein907 Road out of Winter or Trashlands by @AlisonStine were both very good #clifi.

Dear @Starbucks, your Amazon storefront has a typo. I double-checked my spelling and this doesn't look like an intentional SEO play. But, Shop Srarbucks did make me giggle.

@skinnyprinsess Maybe an 18 hour drive?

what do americans consider ‘far away’ ???? in my country ppl see a 30 min drive as far away but ive been noticing that americans are COMPLETELY different than us in europe lol

@LaneHeymont I once mistook my strawberry flavored vitamin D chewables with melatonin.. That was a sleepy week 😅

TFW you accidentally take a dose of melatonin instead of Tylenol. Nap here I come. 😳

Are you curious about what life outside/after academia looks like? I chatted with @AcademicLifeNBN and shared my story, chasing chickens and all. #AcademicChatter #phdchat #AcademicTwitter #jobseekers #AcademicSupport

.@BurgerKing, this pop-up notification on a Black-focused holiday might not have been the best choice for #Juneteenth. Equating Whopper Wednesday with what is known as our "second independence day" after 200+ years of enslavement isn't a good look.

You're beautiful, go write a whole ass book

Here's an academic intro: "I have a PhD in X and work as a postdoc in Y's lab at ABC University, where I focus on Z." What if you had to intro yourself but couldn't include your degree, job title, discipline, or specific dissertation or other research or teaching area? 🤔

@FromPhDtoLife "First and foremost, I wish to thank my kind and patient dissertation director, Dr. David K. Herzberger."

First sentence of my PhD dissertation acknowledgments: "Dissertations are researched and written alone, but they are not entirely solitary endeavours." What is yours?

@FromPhDtoLife @AmerBookFest @Kansas_Press @LaneHeymont @TheTobiasAgency Thank you!!!

@celloandbow @AmerBookFest @Kansas_Press @LaneHeymont @TheTobiasAgency Congratulations 👏🏻🎉

Delighted to share that "Chasing Chickens" was a finalist in the education/academic category of 2024 @AmerBookFest American Legacy Awards!!! Published by @Kansas_Press, represented by @LaneHeymont of @TheTobiasAgency. #AmericanLegacyBookAwards

@llmunro I also can recommend some Coursera classes that really helped me out. It's like $50/month.

@llmunro Ask Chat GPT! It's really upped my Excel game.
