Thank you, it's to show my students how even escapist lit can be examined darn closely from critical analysis

We just managed to find it!!

Yes! This is it. Wild that I spent like an hour on Youtube trying to find it, my mind has it classified with Every Frame a Painting videos and David Hines would likely make some money off making that a video essay

yes, is there somewhere it's archived that's not X to read?

yes

I have had more anthologies asking me *not* to reveal the theme or that I’d sold a story to them until they revealed details later and closer to pub day due to this

Phone camera Ls all around lol

I read a very powerful essay about someone full of “if I knew what I knew now but was 17 again I’d make such different choices” feelings when they discovered they’d kept a very detailed journal of that time and re-read it. Said they’d forgotten so much and they understood those old choices.

I eventually got the hang of it. Sorta

🤷‍♂️ But also: they weren’t wrong 🤣🤣🤣
