OK WHAT, your PhD research sounds AMAZING!! What field were you working in? When I was doing my MFA in creative writing, I had the opportunity to take an undergrad class in queer theory as an elective, which I’d been studying independently for years, and I was so excited to do my little research paper.
Thank you for this comment! I'm going to do a deep dive soon into my PhD research and how I'm working with it now as an independent scholar. I was in a combined MA/PhD program in Rhetoric and Composition (but I did my MFA in poetry first). I did my MFA, MA, and PhD all at University of Massachusetts Amherst. I love that you got to do your queer theory research paper! I bet that was so fun and satisfying.
I'm guessing you know about Dear Sugar and the book, Tiny Little Things, by Cheryl Strayed. MUST READ. ♥️ I always enjoy the "advice column" in Real Simple. Then, of course, I remember the random newspaper clippings taped to the fridge through the years from Dear Abby.

These are all such great suggestions! Thanks, Lynn! I haven't read Tiny Little Things, but I'll check it out!
