did I achieve all the goals I set for myself this year? no. but did I nourish myself spiritually and creatively? not at all. but did I maintain a proper regimen of diet and exercise? listen,
This is the glorious cover design for my forthcoming Iliad translation, featuring Victory. Everybody wants to be a winner. (emilyrcwilson.com/the-iliad-sept…, wwnorton.com/books/97813240…)
Ok. Real talk. If (when?) this ship goes down, discoverability for new books is going to tank, too -- especially during a time when stores are carrying fewer and fewer books. So...a quick thread on how to keep up with new releases from your favorite authors:
Elon Musk gets called a ‘space Karen’ among other things with a projector right outside of Twitter’s headquarters.
My time on Twitter has been sporadic at best. But just in case it's going away forever... #butts
The #ObiWanKenobi show has been delivering some excellent character work. Little Leia is fierce, Reva is my favorite kind of unhinged villain, and seeing "Ben" come back to himself piece by piece is wonderful to behold. I've been loving every minute of it so far. #obiwanspoilers
Here's why Mercedes Lackey was just removed from the rest of her panels at #Nebulas2022. Heads-up, folks: no matter how old you get, you should have a handle on what the racial and ethnic groups in your nation prefer to be called. Age is no excuse for using what are now slurs.
Please remember that the people working at your small press are human. We are trying really hard. We are often underpaid and overworked. Supply chain issues that were bad before the pandemic have become so much worse over the past two years.
For the @TODAYshow website, I wrote about my nonbinary kid and our holiday photo. It wasn't easy to write this essay, but I hope it helps another parent or kid who is navigating this journey. today.com/parents/parent…
If you know anyone looking for a content creator (I wear many editorial hats - 9+ years professional experience), I'm actively looking for opportunities. Doesn't have to be pop culture or online media. Paid work would be much appreciated. Portfolio in below thread. 🙂

1 last thing on this for now. I'm, understandably, tired. We are talking in circles about the broken parts of SW fandom. Having the same convos over and over, making no progress. Same fights. Same pain. Something has to change for the better. I'm not done yet.
You are NOT too much. You are ENTITLED to take up space. If the Suez Canal doesn't have room for you that is the Suez Canal's problem.
Please stop. If you've been mentioning me by name in your content, in your tweets, constantly replying to my posts, posting screenshots of my name and face, stop. It's weird. It's borderline stalking, and I have better things to do than monitor my account for threats. Stop.
Wanna vote for an adorable cat (and help her help her human beat cancer?) Please cast a vote for Zel! Her owner is a friend of mine and the winnings would be an enormous help to them. americasfavpet.com/2021/zel-b69d

I research women and far-right movements in the U.S. and Europe, including why women are increasingly likely to join and how their role has changed. This speech was a masterclass. 1/

Men who hate either of the Kelce brothers are just mad that women are now raising their standards for how they should be treated by a partner because of them 💁🏻♀️
Now that I’ve slept on it I have to admit that this was very triggering to me and my first instinct is to tell Taylor to run. And then I remember there are people who only get this wasted at events like this once a year and not once a week at home or a bar. And don’t drive after.
Not sure this went as planned for Travis Kelce 😂😂😂😂
Thinking about how silly it is that I had to make my own maxi cotton flannel circle skirt cuz nowhere I can afford is selling them nowadays because a full circle uses way more fabric than fast fashion is willing to use in order to max material to profit margins
I managed to put this circle skirt together in about 2 hours from pressing the 4.5 yards of fabric, to cutting, to sewing (including hand finishing the waistband) Now it just needs to hang for about 24-48 hrs so that the hem can stretch and I can relevel it

I lived out my Time Team dreams today. I was rained on, my shoes turned to mud, my back aches, and I have a truly excellent day.
@MadziJ @EmilyRCWilson Ah yes, because translating Ancient Greek poetry is the highway to fame and fortune
This example shows two of my main goals in re-translating Homer. 1. To use regular meter, because most C20-C21 English translations don't. 2. To echo the metaphors in the original, e.g. ὠκύμορος here: Achilles' death-doom runs as fast as his feet.
A few more morsels from this Emily Wilson translation of The Iliad: Thetis to her soon-to-die son, Achilles: “Your death runs fast behind you.” Fagles renders that line: “Doomed to a short life, you have so little time.”
I took this account private to protect myself from someone who became wildly abusive, but honestly I think I'm going to keep it private. That's a loss, I put a lot of stuff here over the years. But this place is being demolished anyway, let's not kid ourselves.
