Congratulations on graduating! Even if it comes with mixed/seething feelings. Fellow writer, we seethe together.

If you go to a Free Library of Philadelphia location, you can access JSTOR. Probably even from your own laptop (but check that with them). That’s probably not helpful right now, but nonetheless!

ok so sorry to pipe in with another JSTOR rec 😂 but I saw this post awhile ago about accessing databases without a subscription and maybe it’ll be useful to you too:

Hi Julia! Fellow academic here -- I would love to read your trade book or your novel. I don't know if this helps, but you also might be able to get alumni access to JSTOR through your undergrad institution. My small liberal arts college offered that benefit. Keep writing -- we need your work in the world, no matter what form it takes!

C'mon running the bar isn't that hard

it is so weird to fall into owning a small business, as another person who unexpectedly does that!

congrats on graduating and the success of the bar and it is so fair that both those things are also confusing and exhausting!
