It's fine if no one likes my book, but please pretty please, when it comes out, no one call me a "young writer"
I just beg you to look up my college graduation year before you take one glance at my photo and decide how old I am
@dilanesper One time one of my sources called me a "budding journalist." I was 31 and had been a journalist for 9 years.
@dilanesper I swear it is possible to google "Olga Khazan American University class of" and subtract 21. I didn't skip any grades. I believe u can do it!

Love when dog owners let their dogs jump on you and get mad at you for not enjoying it
When I was 9, a dachshund crawled across my pillow at a slumber party and my face swelled up so bad we had to go to urgent care
I admit my pet allergies don't win me many friends, but this would be like if we threw bagels at the gluten people

I wrote about the fascinating, still theoretical, connection between infections and eating disorders theatlantic.com/health/archive…
It actually makes a lot of sense, but only when it's explained to you by many many scientists, as it was me theatlantic.com/health/archive…
In conclusion, bodies are extremely strange, and psychological problems are often not what they seem theatlantic.com/health/archive…

I went to 5 different middle schools and honestly some days I feel like I’m still recovering
When I walk into a room of people who are all sitting down at tables and I have to sit down at one, I still feel like my knees are gonna give out. But overall I’m doing great!
I watched “Eighth Grade” and sobbed so hard it frightened my boyfriend. But totally fine and not scarred for life or anything!

Chanyeol finishes work one evening.
He glances at his watch. 8:30pm. He has some time to spare to kill before he goes home.

He starts walking, his mind wandering back to this person name byun who was his first love and his biggest heart ache.
The night was cold and the taller tries to find some warmth from his coat. His face mask was drawn down to his chin so he could take a deep breathe and release a misty air.

He had a long day. Its been like this every day as well for past few years.
Sometimes Chanyeol wants to quit. He wonders if producing music is really what he wants to do for remainder of his life when the industry has become more demanding. He doesn't remember the last time he had a proper sleep, or the last time he was able to do things so freely.

AU idea I've been toying with writing, kinda blurry on the details. Might take me a while to type it all out since I'm kind of preoccupied atm

NurseConnor gets hired by Hank because he needs extra help taking care of Cole.
Being Lieutenant and on the homicide division leaves him with unpredictable hours, and he feels bad having to call his neighbors at 2 or 4 in the morning if he gets called in, especially with Coles unpredictable condition and with the type of care he requires.
Cole is epileptic, has been since he was a baby, and Hank's ex-wife is less than helpful when it comes to helping her husband and caring for her son. Hank just wants someone to be with Cole when he can't, in case there's an emergency.

You know, I have so so so many thoughts about this topic. I’ll sum it up by:

Great for my @Morehouse brothers, but this story is still a band-aid on a massive problem.
You know about those stories that pop up in the news? The ones about how some disadvantaged soul goes through inordinate struggles to do every day activities, and receives the golden ticket to make their lives better?
Like this one, who gets a car from their boss for walking twenty miles to work,

College AU continues.
When he returns to the room, Connor isn't fighting the restraints so much as he's clinging to them in frantic determination.

Anderson knows that look. Connor is nearing orgasm and doesn't want to be. A brat to the end, then.
Anderson strokes Connor's face and he leans into the touch, trying to kiss his professor's palm, "Are you close, Connor?" He asks the question already knowing the answer.

Connor nods, pleading brown eyes meeting a disimpassioned blue gaze.

1/8 My favorite #quote by #JosephStalin, which explains the scientific, #DialecticalMaterialist explanation of true freedom in material reality, not just as an abstract ideal. #StalinIsBack #StalinLives #JVStalin #Stalin #StalinQuote #StalinQuotes #Truth #MELS #MarxismLeninism
2/8 Having an #objective, #rational, #ScientificSocialist, #Dialectical, & #Materialist viewpoint allows us to accurately see & evaluate & analyze #Truth & #Reality as they truly materially exist in this universe.
3/8 An idealistic, dogmatic viewpoint, which capitalists have, however, makes one irrational enough to 'see' freedom where freedom stays trapped on a piece of paper while people are oppressed in their actual lived lives.
