Having been there, it’s so strange to see her in that space and to recognize it even though it has changed so much. When she says “this must be an early version of the Smithsonian” I almost felt like I was time traveling back there with her.
Look, the price of tuition today is a crushing burden that shocks the conscience. Amid this backdrop, there's no way for families not to look at college — or choice of degree — in terms of return on investment. 🧵 1/9
I am D. Castleberry, I am a queer writer who is making queer fiction, some of which will be steamy and some of which will be wholesome. I am just getting started but I suspect that the world is my oyster.
