@RSDeeren @kreayshannon It's true.

@kreayshannon I've been getting a lot of my fashion inspo from TikTok these days. Lately, I've been liking Cider and ASOS for clothes (even Abercrombie has been getting chic). I'm happy to swap fashion ideas!

@ruhroh187 @ClarksHoller @allie4tn Right, it's mostly mediocre white men. But we're looking to change that.

@TangibleDaphne It had been a hot minute since I was on the academic job market, but I remember only using Interfolio when it was part of that school's application process. Which wasn't often, but maybe that's changed since 2019/2020?

A Tennessee woman denied an abortion despite her fetus having a fatal anomaly is running for office.

I wonder if we're going to see an influx of candidates like this—I sure hope so

🎯🔥 @CharlesUffelman: “The state’s third grade retention law is a disaster...
Thousands of Clarksville families were thrown into chaos over the weekend…
This extreme Republican policy should be rolled back before it’s too late.”

@Sepanie523 That's when you add "busy/focus time" blocks to your calendar 😆

[Dr. Jessica @JEJWrites]

So thrilled to see my partner's collection of short stories about the rural "Thumb" of Michigan coming out into the world! Get ready September ❤️‍🔥

@MorganFoster_WI A childhood friend's dad did this to her once, and I always thought it was messed up!!

I love talking to job seekers, esp those fresh out of school or looking for alt routes from academia. So, here's my biannual open invite to connect with me & tap into my experience, network, & resources!

[Dr. Jessica @JEJWrites]

It was a privilege to speak with undergrads (+ my ever supportive partner @RSDeeren) at @austinpeay yesterday on a "Writing in the Professions" panel. It was fun answering Q's about how writing factors into my job working in customer ed, & how an English major does pay off! (1/2)

[Dr. Jessica @JEJWrites]

This makes me think about how I took my Kirsten doll's braids out (BIG MISTAKE!!) for this look, and her hair was never, ever the same again.

[Dr. Jessica @JEJWrites]

Completed my PhD.
Moved (twice!) to Oregon and Tennessee.
Got a remote tech job in customer education that I've now had for 2yrs.
