The
other week I was talking with my mom and telling her about my plans for an upcoming activist
expose, and she was like, “I tell you, [my first name], one of these days
you’re going to end up in a shallow grave.”
Later
I was speaking of the horrible academic job market, and how I’d like to
continue on and prioritize writing projects like my activist exposes no matter
what.
“With
all your energy and talent, I’m sure there’ll be a path for you,” she was like.
“Yes,”
I was like. “Straight to a shallow
grave.”
