I heard the neighbors
in Virginia called the cops
on the cicadas.
They sounded like car alarms.
For real. You think I’m joking.

My stepsibling Eli & I have been in chemo for #breastcancer at the same time— my 1st, their recurrence (at 38!). They’ve been constantly misgendered by docs/nurses.Their roommate’s moving out; they’re struggling to make ends meet. Help? #TransIsBeautiful https://t.co/5Hm9HJuyNE

@josephsdsu Pullman's Brothers Grimm, Hamilton's Her Stories, Lester's Black Folktales, and mentions of specific children's folklore like "down by the banks" and "ice cream soda" (forgot what texts they were in so I just talked personal experience instead)

[Kaylianne Chaffee @Kaylianne7]

everyone's tweeting about their essays for this class and im....uh...frantically writing two other essays??? Haven't gotten to this one yet; I hope it's a fun prompt #F470

[Kaylianne Chaffee @Kaylianne7]

@josephsdsu For something I wrote in one sitting in the last two hours, I feel pretty good about it. I know (I know) I didn't reference eight pieces of folk literature (different authors) like the instructions said, but other than that, I think it's alright. It was fun to write!

Here was peace. She pulled in her horizon like a great fish-net. Pulled it from around the waist of the world and draped it over her shoulder. So much of life in its meshes! She called in her soul to come and see

@ReaAstrid This is making me think about all those conspiracy theories that the beatles were hiding hints in their music that Paul died and got replaced by a look-alike

[Kaylianne Chaffee @Kaylianne7]

@folk_Iore You know those cracked, lumpily-paved roads? The kind you swerve 5 times to avoid scraping your car on? Those lumps aren't always what you think they are. That scraping isn't always asphalt. And when you get home, the sounds of the car settling...aren't always just the car.

[Kaylianne Chaffee @Kaylianne7]

@BrianP_SDSU Yeah, I can understand that. How much someone needs to see to empathize probably differs person to person. I definitely feel like people should always have the option for their grief to be private, but I can understand them wanting others to see their grief & be understood

[Kaylianne Chaffee @Kaylianne7]

The slenderman documentary was emotionally exhausting. I know all these people had to give permission to be filmed, but honestly this felt invasive at times, and painful/unnerving throughout. #F470

[Kaylianne Chaffee @Kaylianne7]

@folk_Iore I"m gonna have to go with the serial killer - clowns wear clown costumes; I could recognize a clown when I saw one. A serial killer? Could be anyone really :/

[Kaylianne Chaffee @Kaylianne7]

same fifth grade teacher with the antlers told us a halloween story that made everyone scream so loudly they heard it in other classrooms - the catch? If you tell it to someone else, what happened in the tale will happen to you... #F470

[Kaylianne Chaffee @Kaylianne7]

vaguely tall-tale relevant: my fifth grade teacher had fake antlers in his classroom and told us he shot rudolph #F470

[Kaylianne Chaffee @Kaylianne7]

Why am I watching this documentary at 12:30am? Not my smartest choice but here we are #F470

[Kaylianne Chaffee @Kaylianne7]

I love how in The Mer-Woman Out of the Sea, the townsfolk aren't mad at the mermaid for causing the flooding, but rather the doctor who keeps her captive #F470

[Kaylianne Chaffee @Kaylianne7]

The fun nonsensical yelling in Lena and Big One Tiger reminded me of Me Tie Doughty Walker #F470
