Hello 2025!
I am determined to thrive on intentionality and hope this year.
Between various writings, I'm prioritizing 1 WIP this year instead of 4 for a queer fairy tale retelling of Cinderella's fairy godmother. I can't wait to bring a new world to life for you!

It's not great that a student can turn in a bad essay but vaguely point to the Bible and religious beliefs as an excuse for not following the actual assignment and terrible writing. That's not what college is supposed to be.
The professor did nothing wrong but she was pulled off the course anyways.

It's because dress is not some kind of disembodied science. It does not follow "laws" like physics. Instead, it's better understood as social language. And just as there are hundreds of different languages, there are hundreds of dress traditions.

Actually yes, I think people should still stay off their phones while in the theater - live or film- while the show is going. It's not that hard. You can multitask at home where it won't affect everyone.
