One of my students asked me to write a letter of recommendation. Am I...a legit real instructor now? I feel like I've unlocked a whole new level.

What's the line between writing a tasteful love scene and soft porn? I have a feeling my thesis has momentarily crossed over into the wrong genre. 😅

Should I be concerned my thesis will have 20 trigger warnings by the time I'm finished?

Many years ago, I had a tarot reading that predicted my future, and I drew the high priestess card, and my mind is still baffled by how accurate that reading is. Even years after the fact.

Apparently I hold the capability to whip out novels rapid-fire bc I've written 13,000 words in the past two weeks alone. Why is this power just now revealing itself??

Serious question for writers bc I'm stumped rn: when you're struck with a really good title idea for a book but you find that there are published books w/ the exact same title, do you keep this title idea, or do you scrap it and come up with something else?

Besides the atrocious grammar here, why do I even bother talking to men anymore? 🙄 (And yes, I did report this)

My new fave student comment: "The story was very gruesome and a bit shocking but in a tasteful way."

Still trying to wrap my head around why and how one of my students is convinced my name is Ms. Matthews...

does our university seriously have no way for instructors to change their names in the system? i get that my legal name hasn't changed yet, but really? you haven't thought of that?? this is what institutionalized transphobia looks like. 😒
