Felt like a theory of the Gothic, might delete later

oh no mistakes were made by me

Pray for me I’m reading the New York Times explainer

yes kind of the opposite of Cretan epic actually

oh I already told the whole thing at the park. it begins with a praying mantis flying around inside the car while I’m driving in traffic downtown and ends with telepathy. gets fairly gruesome in the middle

don’t get me started on my story

all praying mantises are unreliable narrators

That feeling when u r telling a very long praying mantis story and u r beginning to suspect that the other moms at the playground are not that interested in your praying mantis story

Every Jason Derulo song is a ghazal

Normalize including the poet’s name in the poem the way Jason Derulo does it

I had a great conversation about this phenomenon with some sociologists at ASA once. A colleague took me to task for failing to see how they KNOW the reference. They aren’t misreading literary references — they are wielding them to demonstrate their power to shape our ethics.

In impossible nonsense: I'd like to learn to do a respectable axel.

In impossible nonsense I pretend isn't impossible: I'd like to write an Oscar-winning screen play about my great-grandmother's life.

Tbh the axel is far more likely. But the 1930s-esque silk dress I'd wear to the Oscars is divine.

I want to see the film/read the screenplay!

I am not procrastinating any tasks!
