I’m leaving social media, at least until my new book is fully drafted. I can’t keep wasting time having the same pointless arguments about AI. Godspeed, my friends.

We have our big dept meeting tomorrow, where all the managers introduce new employees and give a fun fact about us. I panicked and told my boss that the most interesting thing about me is that I have a cat named Dr. Regina Orange, Professor of Hissssstory. So I guess that’s my work identity now.

One of life’s little pleasures is when the bus I’m on catches up to the bus I missed, like thank you for avenging my honor, ma’am.

I’ve once again gotten the flu and covid shots at the same time, and I’ve once again been completely knocked out. I slept for 5 hours today. I have no appetite. I feel like a herd of wild horses ran me over repeatedly. Still better than the flu or covid! 10/10, highly recommend vaxxmaxxing.

Okay, for Popular Culture Association Boston, do I recycle my NEPCA paper about AI self-preservation? Or do I expand on my UFOs in sci-fi magazines research for the new Paranormal area? Or do I do a secret third option I haven’t even thought of yet?

Someone asked whether Dr. Regina Orange (Professor of Hissssssstory) is still in academia now that I’ve changed jobs, and yes, here she is prepping a lecture on the Great Belly Rub War of 1902. #whatprofessorswear #whatwriterswear

Hi, I'm Liz, a writer and sci-fi scholar. My favorite hobby is sitting on the couch with my cat and my spouse. I’ve had that part of “How It’s Done” that goes “Body on body I’m naughty not even sorry when you pull up I pull up a little late to the party NANANANA” stuck in my head for like a year.

Well, I got married to a hot older them, quit my faculty position, and started an adjacent career path as a writer. Oh and I bought a Switch 2. Am I doing midlife crisis right?

Question for scholars who are university staff with no research expectations: do you describe yourself as an independent researcher? I feel weird about that because I do have access to a uni library, but also my work life and my research life are very separate.

Accidentally typed “manmogram” into my calendar, and I do think that’s what we should call start calling it for transmascs, enbies, and butches. Gotta get our manmos squished for good health!

You could throw this phone off a building, run it over with a tank, and then flush it down the toilet, but it would still work.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but an economy controlled by a handful of oligarchs isn't a "free market."

I love how the government’s like, “Stop eating ultra-processed foods! We have to make America healthy again!” And then they make it unsafe to eat anything other than cheetos and ramen.
