I dropped out of high school when I was 14 years old.

I got into a Ph.D. program today.

Dream big because that’s where it starts. And on that note…ahem…OMG IMMA BE DR. JESS.

The call is coming from inside the house.

Imagine being the guy running on wanting to see trans kids. Haha. Not even a trans ADULT would run on that. Normal adults wake up & think they want to see HEALTHY, SAFE, HAPPY kids.

@WhiteHouse this video is evil and disgusting. Do not ever involve me or my music to benefit your inhumane agenda.

I passed my qualifying (comprehensive) exams!

I’m one step closer to hanging a doctorate diploma next to my GED. 💅🏾

Sometimes I see an ad for a film or an interview with Tom Cruise and I think, “Did we forget that his ex-wife had to use a burner phone and set up an entire escape plan so she could to run with their daughter and safely get a divorce?”

Like…wtf are we doing? 🤨

[Jess the Writer @jesilfa]

…what? Grok, wtf is wrong with you?

[Jess the Writer @jesilfa]

GIRL. I’m about to pay this witch to bless my career.

There is a link in the spreadsheet to send me correct data if updates are needed. I welcome alumni, current students, faculty, and admins to contribute!

This resource is a labor of love. I wanted all the info potential applicants need to choose where to apply in one place.

[Jess the Writer @jesilfa]

Writers, writing teachers, students, etc: I created a spreadsheet of every creative writing MFA, MA, and PhD program. It includes their current deadline, genres taught, FUNDING/STIPEND INFO, incoming class size, etc. That's data for over 200 programs.

[Jess the Writer @jesilfa]

My map of Creative Writing MFA Programs has been updated with current deadlines. Its not perfect but maybe folks will find it useful. It lists 200 programs and can be filtered by genre and funding.

I can’t even take public transportation and feel good about it. Even the PSTA is bowing to Trump and “antiwokeness” bullshit.

(The previous tweet sent with love from these MFA app trenches ❤️)

@MFA_WUSTL your website says applications are due 12/1 and then the portal says 11/30. Do you know how many of my students are freaking out right now? 😅

[Jess the Writer @jesilfa]

Just a reminder I’m @jesilfa everywhere, including the cerulean stratosphere. 💙

@Target, I don’t think throwing everything I ordered into one giant box was the move. I’m all for being environmentally friendly, but some bubble wrap would have helped prevent some damages here. 😬
