These ladies got game
Tumblr media
Yeah, of course I'm watching the NCAAMBB (go Heels!) but I also have a screen going with the Canadian women's team at the World Curling Championship.
Skip Rachel Homan has the nerves of a cat burglar...she made two consecutive raise take-outs that were each no better than 50-1 probability with the game on the line. She one time won a championship three weeks after giving birth.
And Emma Miskew? Call me, girl! I love you!!

hello new followers!
tumblr has informed me (unreliably, probably) that i’ve gained a lot of followers this past week or so, which is wild to me because i haven’t gained new followers since 2016. that’s not hyperbole. honestly i didn’t think it was possible to gain tumblr followers anymore unless they were bots.
anyway. i assume you’re not bots but who knows.
a little about me
i’m a writer! i have an mfa and half a phd in creative writing (i dropped out going on a year ago, long story). my most recent publications are:
barren magazine, “shut up and kill me”
flossy lit mag, “coping skills”
rivet journal, “the ashtray”
a few months ago i also won the barbara demming memorial fund award for feminist writing! that was one of two big wins this year (the other being the writing residency i’m doing next month which i’m sorry i talk about so much).
i’m an editor! i’m founder and EIC of @oficmag. i just finished editing our third issue and i’m so, so excited to publish it (it comes out october 1). here’s our website, and you can subscribe to us on our patreon. submissions for issue #4 will open again soon!
if you want to listen to me talk more about ofic, check out my guest spot on fansplaining.
we’re also planning to launch a nonprofit press in the coming years. if you can’t tell, i’m very, very passionate about putting good writing into the world.
i’m a teacher! i teach university level creative writing and composition, although i haven’t taught since last fall. i’m hoping to pick up some courses this spring; it feels really weird telling people i’m a teacher when i’m not teaching.
most importantly, the best part of my entire life, i’m a writing coach, which means i help writers stay accountable for finishing their projects and offer ongoing feedback and support. i also do freelance editing and copywriting. my clients have had a lot of nice things to say about me.
and lastly, i run the @fanauthorworkshop, a 6-week online workshop for fan writers. we had an amazing spring session and i’m hoping to put together another session soon. 
to stay up to date on all my things, i have a lowkey writing-related newsletter (which i haven’t updated in a while, sorry) and i also answer writing advice asks. because tumblr has gotten kind of wonky with tag searching, i’ve compiled them all here (i haven’t updated that in a while either). 
anyway thanks for following! my ask is pretty much always open if you want to say hi!

A bit of a long rant following the latest disappointment with the project. Sorry, I had to get it all out. It's all under the 'Keep reading'. As always, thank you for your patience and support.
I must confess I am starting to lose faith a little bit. I am starting to think that, as good as the idea is, it is perhaps unfeasible, not so much because of logistics, but because everyone in Classics is just too isolated for this to work. I mean literally like an insula, an island -- everyone is working on their own, thinking on their own, doing things on their own etc. Yes, I am being a little bit resentful here, but also self-critical. I literally nicknamed myself 'lone-rhapsodist'. I always thought I was a loner, but now I realise, we all are. We are all islands -- the only thing we share is that we are not alone in being alone. It kind of sucks, to be honest. And I don't know what to do about that. I can reach out to all the people I want, but in the end, it doesn't matter.
I go back to this post I wrote a few days ago and ask myself the same questions. What am I doing this for? Is it worth it? What do I want to get out of this?
I don't know, I guess I just wanted to be part of something that makes sense. Something like a community. I thought, if I create a community around Classics, something that is a link between academia and the public, people will be interested in it, it will increase opportunities for both inreach and outreach, it will encourage people to put themselves out there and try. Try try try. How many times do I have to try? I'm the one who struggles to put themselves out there. I'm the one who feels like they don't fit in. I'm the one who needs the pat on the head, the blessing, the go-ahead to do things.
What is the point? I am literally reaching out to academics, using my real name, putting myself on the line, and for what? I am sure if I keep trying something will happen, but the issue remains that, if I cannot build a community interested in what I have in mind, then I will have to find one that is, and build the project around them. Yet as it turns out, these communities do not exist. These publications, they call themselves a community, a forum etc., and then they're nothing of the sort. Words have meaning. Why call yourselves something that you're not? What does that say about you, about the subject, about academia as a whole?
It's almost like the whole concept of community is alien to academia. They'd rather have a landscape of ivory towers than a palace to share. And the palace itself is just a metaphor for how, even in their best attempts at building a community, they are still exclusionary. Why do we need the walls? What do we need the moats for? We could have a happy realm, for everyone, regardless of gender, sexuality, social status etc., yet here we are.
I am being asked about my publications. I am being asked about attending conference dinners. How do you not understand that these are the very things I am trying to move past from? How do you not understand that these are the very barriers I am trying to break down? It's like everyone woke up with this idea that we can be inclusive without dismantling the institutions that perpetuate elitism. It's like everyone is keen on the idea of reforming academia until you start talking about reforming systems like publications, conferences etc. Suddenly, they all forget about progressivism and want to hold onto their privilege.
I am not trying to be an anarchic here. I completely reject beliefs such as anti-intellectualism and anti-academicism. But if you have systems that do not work as well as they could -- the culture of publish or perish, the fact that in-person conferences are inaccessible to most people and could/should be held online etc. -- then surely you should do something about it. But you cannot claim you believe in change if you do not also agree that, for example, someone should not need to be published or have a big fancy title next to their name to be able to produce a valid idea. And definitely, someone should not need to be rich in order to participate in academia. You know, the basic stuff. I know it's easier said than done, and that not everything is as easy to implement as I put it, but surely we should start from holding beliefs which are supportive of these fundamental ideas, and then we can go from there.
I don't know. I know I'm not alone in feeling like this. But then again, it's easier said than done. I can rant all I want about things, and then people can like it and reblog it and we can all share a little moment of misery. But then if I try to do things, and nothing happens, I am allowed to feel at least a little bit disheartened.
I have said before that if I cannot build a community like I have in mind, or find a community and build the project around them, then I will simply stop and either join a community that already exists, and keep doing what I had in mind for the project on my own. I suppose it would be something like a Classics helpdesk, somewhere where people can send asks asking for advice on how to develop their ideas further, or even send submissions about work that they would like to get feedback on but do not feel comfortable sharing publicly. Of course, if you ask or submit anything anonymously, I would have no other choice but to respond publicly, but if you did it using your username and/or messaged me directly asking me to respond privately, then I would be more than happy to do so.
I mean, that was basically the whole point of the Discord server -- join the thing, share your idea with us, get feedback and go develop it further. Has it taken off yet? No. Do I mind? A little bit, yeah. But not so much that I want to delete it yet. I like the idea of the server because, even if it's dead, there's always someone who can join and share their idea and get a response and be happy about that. I think it's important -- heck, I think it's an essential part of society. Yet here I am, preaching to the choir -- or in the desert… I am still not sure which one it is, or if there even is a difference. I mean, I never expected the project to be more than a side thing, but I did want it to develop into something more. I cannot help but feel deflated.
Maybe I am asking too much. Maybe I am not. Who knows? All I know is that there are still options left to explore, and I will keep going until I have exhausted all of them. I will see what my lecturer from uni has to say. Then perhaps I will look into Reddit. I do not even know if Twitter is worth exploring. I cannot think of anywhere else.
The only other option that comes to mind is the advice I was given to get in touch with the Women's Classical Caucus. I think that is interesting, but I really need to think about it. Perhaps that lecturer from uni would be able to help me with that. Honestly, at this point, it's worth a shot.
With that said, the question remains. "What do you want to get out of this?". I keep rotating that in my mind. And I'll keep doing so, until I find an answer. Till then, the quest continues.
