@daniel_m_lavery I wrote my undergraduate thesis on Clarice Lispector two years after Silence of the Lambs premiered. I thought Clarice was a wayyy more popular name than it ever was.

I’ve never read Clarice Lispector and I keep thinking she was a crime novelist for the dumbest reason: she’s named Clarice like in Silence of the Lambs and her last name sounds like Inspector. incredible work

It’s such a shame the 90s bands I see being remembered are almost all male, when the 90s were a paradise of woman-led bands: Hole Belly Garbage Skunk Anansie Portishead The Cranberries The Breeders Who am I forgetting

I hope nobody heard me as I was running up that hill this morning saying out loud "wait for me, wait for me" to the sky. 😂I don't care anyway because it did indeed wait for me. Glastonbury Tor about 15 minutes before sunrise.

It’s outrageous that Missouri is so close to executing Marcellus Williams. He was convicted at a trial where prosecutors intentionally struck at least one Black person from the jury pool. Witnesses were paid to point the finger at Marcellus. His DNA is not on the murder weapon.

6yrs ago I was 35hrs deep into a 54hr active labor & all I wanted in the whole world was a Cinnabon & I asked all of my family & my bf & my bff if someone would please bring me a Cinnabon after baby was born & there were multiple Cinnabon locations within 10mins of the hospital I was locked inside of for 5 days & in the end no one got me a Cinnabon in fact no one brought me shit except cafeteria premade sandwiches, but they did monopolize my brand new baby & start drama with the head nurse so I didn’t get to have a recovery room for many hours & had to sit on a bed in a hallway where the bathroom was way down the hall & no one helped me walk there, I had to hobble to it myself fresh out of an highly invasive & long labor experience & they squeezed into my hospital bed to watch tv even though I said so many times I needed to sleep bc I hadn’t in 3 days & maybe I could see them later. I’d totally forgotten about it all but now realize I am still so salty about it

I’m suing the Louisiana Board of Pardons. The Board held a secret meeting on September 29th in an attempt to thwart clemency hearings for 56 Louisiana death row prisoners. The secret meeting occurred in violation of Louisiana’s Open Meetings Law. theguardian.com/us-news/2023/o…

Please remind yourself you *don't have to feel guilty* for not beginning a PhD program, quitting one, declining to apply for a job, resigning a position, or leaving your academic work behind completely. Academic culture wants you to feel shame. Reject this. Live your life.
