H.B. FLYTE

Writer, teacher, PhD candidate, former web dev, and villain

How am I supposed to perform academia if I don’t have time to Tweet?!?

One of the problems with committing to a new public-facing medium is that you get busy and overwhelmed and it suddenly feels abandoned. Two days since I posted here and my instinct is to just quit. The endless scroll is the problem. It’s always hungry and it’s never sated. As meager contributor, even I’m susceptible. When the dust settles and the archaeologists of the future dig through the radioactive waste, our archive will be nothing but “sorry I haven’t posted” posts and Tumblr.

Heather is a writer, teacher, and PhD candidate trying her best. When she’s not procrastinating, she’s starting new stories, watching old science fiction films, and talking to anyone who will listen about the joy of writing. She is a secret K-pop fan and otaku and is worried you’re not getting enough fiber. She battles ADHD, ennui, and capitalism when she’s not playing Minecraft. It’s possible that she’s is actually three juvenile raccoons in a raincoat.
