Thanks, I’m actually in the process of setting up an outreach program with a school that will hopefully give me the opportunity to continue working with kids. And I did join several book clubs but just need to make sure my work schedule (and new one since mine will change mid-December it seems) will accommodate…

Thanks! Just joined! I’m applying to jobs like crazy - nonprofit sector, with a focus on helping underprivileged and underserved students. I keep wanting to get involved with that demographic and for some reason keep getting sidetracked. I need to set that as my focus and maintain my course.

Thank you so much! I will continue to look into Upwork and see if anything pans out. Educational startups and educational writing is kind of my field. I just feel frustrated and misled with the last couple of jobs I’ve had.

Ideas and inspirations for an aspiring writer, editor, and tutor. How do you start all of that on your own? Anyone else in education?

I do agree but honestly it’s Tamra so I find it difficult to give her any real credit for her renewal.

You know it takes quite a character to make Tamra Judge sympathetic. Yeesh.

Holly was the name of my first dog, so this one cuts a little deeply. It took me three or four years to talk about her without crying. RIP Queen’s Holly <3

Probably a classical reference to the Roman god I would guess.

1. Don’t remember - too young and they still do it and it INFURIATES ME. But now I have to stifle myself from reacting because I’m never sure if someone will get angry enough to shoot me....

The African American Museum just opened a few weeks ago. Also visit the Smithsonian to check out the artwork. There’s a bunch more there too. I miss the east coast so much, take pictures and have an awesome time!

My computer is dying (well at least that is the case with Safari), I was insanely triggered at work today, to the point where I wanted to quit (not exactly new, I have SERIOUS anxiety and PTSD and crowded Saturdays are super hard for me), and I have at least six hours of homework to do before Monday rolls around and…

It’s funny you should mention that because a project I worked on this summer included incorporating her works alongside Morrison, Angelou, et al. It’s one of the pieces I am most proud of and will hopefully encourage change and more inclusive curricula in the future :)

That’s pretty creepy - I am not sure how I would react or if I would be able to continue to go to work there again. I am impressed that you have shown so much restraint. We should totally do a creepy thread soon.

That would freak me out - what were the circumstances of your sighting?

Awww thank you so much! I think I’ll be okay, it’s just a challenge with everything else going on. Hope all is well with you <3

I don’t know if anyone will see this but this week was really, really rough for me. I’ve decided to take another year to apply to grad school, which means delaying babies for another year (at least). I’m super bummed on some fronts but know that this might be the right decision for me. It still hurts though.

Kind of but that honestly propelled me to reevaluate things and apply to grad school. The work from home idea sounds fabu - I’ve been wanting to do that for awhile. I hope someone comments and helps you out.

Oh my goodness what where when and how did this air? Zora wrote the quote I’m using for my grad school essays. I LOVE HER TOO! I really can’t wait to visit the museum.

I just imagined someone writing that as a college applicant for Applied Math or something. Am DYING.

And there goes my boner. Good thing I can’t have sex for a few days cause of my meds (stupid unsexy sinus infection).
