Loving this new trend in my students. Instead of family emergencies right before big due dates, this semester they all have explosive stomach viruses. Before every major due date.
These poor diarrhea-stricken babies. It's a lot of diarrhea. So much diarrhea. My inbox is full of diarrhea. π

No Place Like Home: Writing Domestic Fabulism with Amber Sparks
Learn to write domestic fabulism with author Amber Sparks. Transform ordinary home and family stories with fantastical elements in this online seminar.
Friends! I am teaching a workshop in December that I am so excited about! Iβve been writing and writing about domestic fabulism forever, but Iβve never actually fashioned a workshop around it before. I think this is going to be so much fun - I hope youβll join!

5 different students came up to me today and told me that they'd changed their schedules all around to have me again next semester. It was a really good fiftieth birthday despite my inability to embrace crone status. π₯Ή

If I were a wealthy girl, I'd get like ten surgeries. This is not very progressive of me, but it's the truth!

My birthday is tomorrow and I am turning very old. I am both celebrating the tremendous number of decades I have been alive and also dying my roots and maybe looking up the more affordable plastic surgery procedures.
I appreciate you all. Someone tell me a joke. This is a lot.

For now it's a mix of politics, lgbtqia+, science, media, art, fandom, music and weird stuff in English and German. I'm not vegan, but most of my recipes are. And I love old cocktails (without egg, of course).
