@barrelhouse.bsky.social
was open for nonfiction subs all of June, it took my dumb ass the entire month to sit down and write, and miss the subs deadline by two days. the actual good news is i just finished a draft of a new essay i've been threatening to write for over a year!!

if you want to know what its like out there: since early March i've applied to 90 jobs. i've received 22 rejections and 4 interviews that went nowhere. the last recruiter that reached out...before the interview I had to take an AI personality test, which I guess I failed bc I didn't even interview

i also keep a running list of dialog and word pairings that catch my eye. alas i am not a published poet so it will not see the light of day as a "novel." which this is only bc they tell us it is.

My issue with virtually all straight women discourse is that it presupposes that straight women are facing some unique issue when in fact all women of all orientations are policed and mocked for our sexualities

the single biggest takeaway i have from this interview is that on top of being profoundly incompetent, bari weiss and her flunkies at CBS are genuinely terrible human beings.

CBS just dismantled the most important and popular news show in the history of television at the behest of a president who regularly sics the FBI on his critics. Here’s why some NYU kids complaining about Jonathan Haidt represents the greatest threat to free speech that our country faces.
