Filed my Anthropic claim 🫠

As a teacher (and dog lady), I am VERY into these vibes 🤌

Yesssss to all of it

Confirmed - all 3 of my books.

The evil that men do lives after them

All I ever do is write substacks and then not post them.

Oh, I had some thoughts to share on this one.

8 Times I Cried This Past Month They weren't *all* bad

Look, my Substack is called Inbox Therapy because I treat your inbox like my therapy session, ok? 😎

Special Unicorn Summer Facing down the proverbial drawer

New substack today: readwritejess.substack.com/p/special-un...

Oh boy, a published book with the same plot as the book I'm querying. Yay.

(The other 2 are, of course, the Fleetwood Mac Sliver Springs 1997 performance and also Harold Perrineau as Mercutio and John Leguizamo as Tybalt in 1996 R+J. Literally always thinking about these 3 things.)

YouTube video by Famous In NY Video Jeremy Jordan - "It's All Coming Back To Me Now" (Broadway Loves Celine Dion)

Look, I have 3 Roman Empires, and one of them is this video: youtu.be/TppJMa8apkc?...

Had a Jeremy Jordan fangirl moment yesterday 😍🥰

I'm at dinner and a man I don't recognize* just walked in wearing a fancy YALLWEST jacket and the way I am losing my mind wondering who he is right now!

*this is not saying much - I don't recognize anyone

Waiting on querying and the secret other thing, so I'm just starting a new WIP so I don't yeet myself into the sea.

The average American has three friends.

you don't need chatGPT i am perfectly capable of drinking a bottle of water and lying to you

If April Fools Day has no haters, I'm dead.

CA friends - read this. This is a friend of mine - we need to take action.

My son, at 6:45am: Mom! There's something crazy happening with Skibidi Toilet right now. Guess what it is!

Me: I honestly can't even begin to guess.

My son: Do you want me to tell you?

Me: There is nothing I would love more as we rush to get out the door on a Monday morning.

It took me a while to see the change - it's subtle even when you're in my brain. But I realized that I've been recognizing that there is a task that needs to be done and I just...DO IT. Right then. With no angst. IT'S AMAZING.

I just started WeIlbutrin for my ADHD (in combo with the AdderaIl I was previously taking alone) and OMG I think this might be the thing that changes my life?! My executive function is now...functioning?!

I always like people's posts about their student loans being forgiven,even if I don't know them, because there is no better feeling in the world.

One thing about me as a teacher, if you're my former student and I run into you at your job I will absolutely find your manager and tell them how much you're killing it.

(Just did this at Costco. It was fun.)

All, the Pasadena Humane Society is asking for donations - they're taking in animals right now, and are also preparing to evacuate if needed.

Since social media is a garbage fire, I just want to put it out there that I have a substack that is really just me trying to recapture the vibes of blogging in 2010.

Writer friends: I need a new laptop! Mostly used for writing, internet, watching stuff, the basics. I've had a Mac before, but I'm not an apple girlie (Android phone/ tablet) so the sync options of that don't matter to me. Looking for something not too $$ but still GOOD. Anyone have any good recs?
