i have taken a long hiatus for a multitude of reasons. I finished grad school a while ago but I’m in the process of writing a book on the experience of becoming publicly shamed in the media. this is something i need to do for my own sense of self and my desire for closure. I’m not assuming anything I write is going to be published, but i think it will help me gain a sense of understanding and control over something that has seemed incomprehensible for so long. So stay tuned. I don’t even know if i have followers anymore because it’s been ages since I’ve engaged people on this blog. Feel free to message me regarding any questions or concerns. i’m feeling very open about my past and very willing to answer questions asked respectfully. I love you all and truly respect your thoughts and opinions whether or not they contradict my own.
i have been out of the internetz for a while but I am coming back and have a lot to share with those of you who are still interested.
Yes, there is something uncanny, demonic, and fascinating in her.

Annoying? Yes. But I was wondering if you could dole out some advice. I want to do English Literature for undergrad and Philosophy for grad. As someone who is doing it, is it worth it? I love the subjects but I do not see many jobs/opportunities after grad school. Sorry for the intrusion

that depends on what you’re hoping to get out of it. philosophy helps you develop a lot of skills that are critical in lots of careers. you become really rational, articulate, and good at writing. those who get the best LSAT scores are typically philosophy students. but i’d say it’s not directly applicable to getting a degree. there aren’t really jobs out there geared toward philosophy or english majors – unless you’re trying to work for a think tank. for me, it’s worth it because i love it. but i’m now at the point where i need to decide whether this is what i want to pursue forever (and become a professional academic) or take the more practical route and become a lawyer (which i know i’d be good at).
