I know the submission and defense are the actual milestones, but graduating makes it feel real. I have a PhD! 🎓 #PhDone

After what just happened to @DrAllyLouks, I’m officially deleting this app from my phone. Twitter keeps sending notifications to tell me I’ll be interested in this pile-on, but all I see is how vile this app has become.
I’m out. Find me on Bluesky with the same handle.
Transitioning over to where the skies are bluer: find me over there with the same handle, MyExplodingPen.
"Notes on Camp," for a book explaining queer theory through poetry. Tentative publication date in late 2025.
Got my 100th rejection for the year today (goal = met), on the same day as receiving $300 for a poem. Being a writer is really weird!!

Periodic reminder that you can request indie books from your library, and authors get paid a lump sum. My commission on a library acquisition is like $35, which amounts to a LOT of eBooks. Instead of pirating that $1.99 eBook, help the author get paid and still read for free!!

Academics will have a 2 hour conversation about how busy they both are that ends in them agreeing to co-write something new

Watching a cheesy movie where the hot young neighbour gifts Jennifer Lopez a first edition of her favourite book...The Iliad.
A first edition. Of The Iliad. He found it in a garage sale.
