Today!

It's delinquency Tuesday! See you at @beermiscuous.bsky.social tonight for my trivia hosting debut! I had a lot of fun writing these questions.

I’m doing another zine workshop! ✂️ Celebrate National Library Week at the Chicago State University Archives and Special Collections on the 3rd floor of CSU's Gwendolyn Brooks Library, where I'm a practicum student in the info science program. Thurs, 4/23, 2pm 📝 csu.libcal.com/event/167035...

I have had so much fun writing these questions. I feel like I wrote a themed unit to teach a class. A class in delinquency! I GOT NO CLASS!

Join me for my trivia hosting debut next week! Tues, 4/21 at @beermiscuous.bsky.social 7pm! @chirpradio.org Music Trivia will be Makin’ Trouble with music questions about crime, vice, & delinquency. DJ moimoi spins tunes. Questions start at 7pm. See 🔗 link in bio or at chirpradio.org/events

OK but who are all these people in my MLIS program that they’re not enjoying the opportunity for making a ridiculous profile?

We set a timer for 15 minutes and @caboosezine.bsky.social interviewed me about my (Very 2nd Generation biased) interest in K-pop! I could have talked for hours but maybe this will be a mini-series! roughdraftwithkeidraandliz.podbean.com/e/rough-draf...

This is a fun episode! Check out!

Also in our upcoming podcast me and @caboosezine.bsky.social talk to Cynthia from @zineclubchicago.bsky.social and I was really inspired by how she talks about cultivating spaces for self expression on one's own terms through Zine Club so I've really been sitting with that for the past week.

Time for Rough Draft with Keidra and Liz #7! At times it’s shocking that anything gets done, & perfectionism can make even the smallest project feel impossible. Me & @kdc.bsky.social talk about the imperfect, sustainable ways we push through it. roughdraftwithkeidraandliz.podbean.com/e/rough-draf...

Hey! Hey! Hey! 🤟 Vote Caboose for Best Zine in the @chicagoreader.com Best of 2025! From the Always a Bridesmaid Never a Bride Dept.: I've been nominated in the past (which is in itself an honor) but I've never won. With your help maybe this will be the year! chicagoreader.com/best-of-chic...

My autocorrect always wants to change RSVP to TACO so my texts to my husband say “I will taco for the both of us,” which actually sounds like a pretty good idea

🎤 Pretty hilarious if I don't say so myself: me and Keidra Chaney @wildramppublishing.bsky.social released the next installment of Rough Draft on Thanksgiving, this one about karaoke philosophy. I am thankful for this fun episode! 🤟 roughdraftwithkeidraandliz.podbean.com/e/rough-draf...

The episode of the @chirpradio.org Podcast is up of my performance from the storytelling series The First Time! 🎉 tbh I think this is the best performance I've ever done of any spoken word thing ever. 🎤 And the First Time Three killed it with the song I picked. chirpradio.org/podcasts/fir...
