I was supposed to see Hadestown on July 13th at 8 PM but it was cancelled and refunded because of the black out. So disappointing. Many couples around me where the one who was INTO IT was weeping while the other person gently patted them on the shoulder from a safe distance. I felt worst for the people who traveled to NY for the occasion.
Anyway, a generous soul in my life used a connection to get me tickets for tomorrow at 2. šš¶ Iām coming! š¶
P.S. Unfun fact: Most of us were waiting for information in a massive hot line in a parking garage and had no clue any of the shows were briefly singing on the street. I was very annoyed when people asked me about it which is not very gracious sorry!! Have a great weekend!
My birthday is tomorrow and I am supposed to be hearing back about a job either today or early next week, and the suspense is driving me up the freaking wall (itās been 3 weeks since my interview). Please friends, please send all the good vibes that I get the only bday present I really want....a job!
A while back I posted in here about going through a breakup at the same time as getting a comprehensive exam--I HEARD BACK TODAY THAT I PASSED!!! still have to study for the other three, but feeling so much better about my summer/getting to phd candidacy and shook that I was able to power through everything and make it! thanks to everyone on here for the advice and good wishes, it was so helpful in such a rough patch <3
Nicole, I just read your tweets about your dad and raising kids and they are an invaluable public service.
I am in Santiago, Chile, a city I like very much, but tracking expenses for a few days has shown me it's impractical to stay here long term while living on savings. So I've readjusted my plans and will be here only till the end of September or so, then off to a less expensive country. I'm still heading to Patagonia, though, because it's a lifetime dream of mine to see it.
Also I plan to make my first-ever pitch to a few periodicals sometime soon: please send four leaf clovers!
By the way, freelance writers: there is now a freelance journalists union under the umbrella of the International Workers of the World. One of the union's first public activities was to tweet out rates paid to journos by Vox and company after the umbrella company tried to intimidate writers into keeping silent about their pay. Come see the goodness on Twitter at @IWWFJU!
It's moving weekend for us, but I'm stuck at work on this cow-mouth of a weather day in Chicago. My mother, however, is a saint, and arrived last night and has been efficiently whipping us into shape. She has the magical ability to look at an overwhelming project and immediately KNOW what needs to be done next. And now she's at the new apartment waiting for the internet guy to show up.
So so excited to see Hadestown tonight, balanced by low-level dread about a BBQ introducing my partner's and my families tomorrow. 35 people, 100 degree heat, half quiet WASPs, half essentially the cast of My Big Fat Greek Wedding...send comedic rather than tragic vibes, please!
A group was going to my friendās lake house but the rest of the group cancelled so now I am going with her alone! (I did clarify she would still want me by myself.)
Is there a job you can have where you just go clean out other peoples' email inboxes? I think I would be great at that, were it a thing. I love clearing out my email. I love having 0 unread messages and no more than a page of read messages in my inbox. Sorting everything into labels? Love it. Archiving? amazing. Deleting stuff? the Best. Please let me come sort out your email.
Dear Nicole and also!! everyone. I did not want Russia to steal my face, but I did want to try to aging app so I tried it on a cursed doll and it worked SO WELL. It's been yet another nightmare week, but if anyone wants to see an EXTREMELY EXTRA cursed aged doll DM me @rebecca_gams. It brings me incredible joyhorror whenever I look at it.
I missed you! I kept waiting for a newsletter to drop! "Okay, it was a short trip, but she writes them the day before, so tomorrow there might be one" and then nothing! ššš You looked amazing for the event and that caftan is just the best. So jealous.
I am having an incredibly rotten time at work and could do with internet hugs/good wishes please
My husband and I took the day off work and sent the kid to daycare so we could have a date day! Iām really looking forward to it.
I who have never previously gave a fuck about Cats am deeply invested in whatever the hell that trailer was.

Hello friends! I recently lost my hair due to illness and Iām playing with scarves (wigs are out of my price range atm). If anyone has recommendations or tips on styling, what kinds of scarves are best, where to get fun scarves for cheap, etc, let me know! āŗļøāļøš©āš¦²

I am going to work on writing this weekend and we may go to a reptile show if we can round up a few bucks. We are very boring and I am enjoying it.
