I have eighteen minutes before I'm supposed to be on a panel, I'm not wearing mascara, and I smell like airport. The glamorous life of a working author!
Is my House pride such that I'll go to the check-in desk with the Slytherin banners? Yes.
They may not have a room for me. Uuuugg.
No room. So no mascara and no shower. No ADA entrance either.
Made it to my panel ten minutes late. Now waiting for the sole elevator.

Dude on this panel thinks he's hilarious as he cuts off and yells at @YvonneNavarro.
The room has rewarded him with laughter. But the failure mode of funny is still asshole.
Dude is sullen. A woman is speaking.

This comes up about every six months: the "interview a professional working in your chosen field" assignment seems to be summer/fall.
If you're a creator with any sort of audience, and any means of public access, the requests start coming in.
Many of the students who've been told to get an interview are desperate. Some view this as their big chance to interact with an artist they admire. Others are incredibly manipulative.

Tonight, @sarahkuhn took me to the very classiest of dining establishments, and we feasted like the classy, classy ladies we are. I refer, of course, to the Taco Bell Cantina, where they will serve you ALCOHOLIC SLUSHIES, and you can CUSTOMIZE YOUR FOOD on a touch screen.
Anyone has ever seen me eat a burrito (or as most reasonable people would call it, a "burrito") knows that I eat the weirdest white girl version of that particular food item in the world.
My preferred Taco Bell order is a beef burrito supreme, no onions, no lettuce, no rice, no beans, light cheese, double tomato, extra sour cream. No one ever gets it right, and why should they? It's ridiculous.

Friday thread y’all! #NANconv2019
I’m prepped; I’m fierce; I’m ready, and the conference still jumped up on me because I went out to grab something to eat when the lectern was empty and the room half-asleep and when I came back there was a full blown panel on HBCUs 😭 #NANconv2019
As you’re all well aware, I attended very white institutions. Like powered by that stolen slaveholder money white. But it was only possible because of black excellence in the HBCUs. #NANconv2019 damemagazine.com/2019/03/20/the…

A small story:

I had something kind of wonderful happen yesterday. Allow me to explain.
I was reading a book about a fearful person because, you know, get some tips. She wrote about her fear of heights. “I also have a fear of heights!” I thought, with about 7% too much excitement and then, for some reason, the inciting incident sprung to my mind.
I was 12? 13?

I was on a TV special, CIRCUS OF THE STARS. People on television shows were trained to do circus acts. I was the smallest performer. Ergo, I was given the elephant act.

Brooke Shields, at six feet tall, got the poodles.

This is called "Circus humor."

Pride & Prejudice | Yoonmin AU

Jimin didn’t even want to go to that stupid party, but he definitely wasn’t expecting to be insulted by someone he had just met.

[or: Namjoon wants to make friends at their new college, but Yoongi is too awkward to be social]
notes: Part social media au, part written
⚡ Loosely based on P&P/ Lizzie Bennet Diaries
⚡ Sort of crack, bit of angst and lots of fluffy
⚡ Side Namseok | Taekook
⚡ Hobi, Jimin and Tae are brothers
⚡ JK and Yoongi are brothers
⚡ Namgi are best friends
⚡ Yoongi as Darcy, Jimin as Lizzie, Hobi as Jane, Namjoon as Bingley, Jungkook as Gigi, Taehyung as Lydia and Jin as Charlotte.
⚡ Feedbacks are always welcome

Steven Gerrard just pulled out of #C4News interview.

Told by personal staffer- not Rangers- we couldn’t ask certain questions including about Neil Lennon and sectarianism. Then she disappeared.

Been waiting for him here for hours. Nobody even told us in person it was off.
Interview was arranged through maker of new film about Steven Gerrard’s life.

Minutes before he was supposed to arrive I was told by Gerrard’s representative what he would and would not talk about.

We had an amicable chat. She went off. Not seen her since.
We agreed interview would mostly be about issues featured in the film.

I said I’d like to explore what Steven Gerrard’s wife says about him being an emotional person.

I was told not to reference his wife directly and instead say ‘in the film it says you’re an emotional person.’
