@ThylacineReport I have tattoos numbering in the double digits and facial piercings. I have a PhD in English and my dissertation was on the sexualization of women with body modifications.

Fantasy writers: how you talk about evil in your world matters.

Look for racially charged language. Especially if you were weaned on Tolkien and Lewis. It’s everywhere but (we) white writers are often completely unaware due to our privilege.

It’s not okay. Do the work.

Reviving my twitter account to circulate a CFP—I am guesting editing a special issue of Poetics Today titled “Forms of Aging.” If you are interested in writing a piece on issues relating to age and form, send a message (abstracts due June 15)! And please share widely!!

@singrala Yep. Meanwhile Lakewood decided to actually step up this time.

[Dr. Samantha Castleman @dogtor_sam]

And I’m not even the worst off. I recognize my privilege in this situation: I have shelter. I have a car. I can find access to supplies. There are millions worse off than me. And there have been no answers. No resolutions.

I don’t know who is responsible for this, but the fact that the 4th largest city in the US can’t adequately prepare for winter weather and protect the wellbeing of its citizens is an outrage. #TexasWinterStorm2021 #hounews

@jatosha @JerryLMize @AcademicChatter I had a research fellowship and very few teaching opportunities. I feel your pain.
