Clarke Schools’ Horrifying Achievement Gap DEMOND MEANS HAS HIS WORK CUT OUT FOR HIM, AND MORE LOCAL NEWS By Blake Aued news@flagpole.com

Why Georgia Won’t Get Amazon STANCES ON IMMIGRATION AND RELIGION WILL KILL OUR CHANCES By Tom Crawford tcrawford@gareport.com The business and political communities are all abuzz at the news that Amazon, the Seattle-based retailing giant, is looking for a location to open a second headquarters. Amazon allegedly will spend $5 billion on a new headquarters that would employ 50,000 people. I suspect those numbers are inflated, but there’s a reason: Jeff Bezos would like to see a bidding war by states offering tax breaks and other goodies. When the news leaked that Amazon was looking for a new location, Gov. Nathan Deal said, “We’re going to make a big push to try to get this.” Here’s a handy translation of that statement: “We’re going to open the doors to the state treasury and let Jeff Bezos drive off with as much money as he wants.” Georgia is reportedly going to offer Amazon a package worth as much as $1 billion. That’s chump change, however, when New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie has pledged to offer tax breaks worth $5 billion. There are several things that Georgia and metro Atlanta have going for them when it comes to wooing a corporate giant like Amazon. One is the world’s busiest airport. Another is the highly regarded universities like Emory, Georgia Tech, Georgia State and UGA that provide the brainpower a corporate giant would covet. Other factors might not work so well for Georgia, however. Amazon may look favorably on Canadian cities such as Toronto and Vancouver because of the uncertainty surrounding immigration in this country. A company that hires a large number of tech employees will look overseas for much of that talent, so it would want to avoid hassles surrounding the issuance of visas. Georgia is a big loser here, because we are a state whose political leadership displays animosity towards immigrants at every opportunity. In Deal’s first year
as governor, he trumpeted his signing of a comprehensive bill that cracked down on Georgia’s immigrant communities and workers. In nearly every session of the legislature since, conservative lawmakers have continued to introduce bills intended to punish or humiliate immigrants even more. That’s not going to look very good to the bigwigs at a company that recruits a large number of international employees. Actually, Georgia’s chances of landing a corporate giant like Amazon may already have been killed by a piece of paper that four candidates for governor signed in early August. Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle and his three major rivals in the Republican primary put their signatures on a pledge that they would enact a “religious liberty” measure if one of them was elected governor in 2018. Cagle, considered to be the frontrunner in the GOP race, initially held off from signing that pledge, while Secretary of State Brian Kemp, former legislator Hunter Hill and state Sen. Michael Williams rushed to sign it. But in the end, Cagle signed it too. That is a big deal, because large corporations like Amazon do not like to become ensnarled in religious freedom battles. When these companies recruit employees, they don’t limit themselves to heterosexual white Christians. They look for talent regardless of whether the person might be black, Latino, female or a member of the LGBT community. They don’t want those employees to be harassed by local governments enforcing a religious freedom law. You would think Amazon would want to avoid Georgia, where immigrants are bashed and the next governor could be someone who pushes for a religious freedom law. If the state loses out, it could very well be because of the pledge signed in August by Cagle, Kemp, Hill and Williams. f

But unlike the picture of a book, it says “100K PAGES of Documents Read” Umbrella Man, they are being criminally charged for their and below that, with no real explanation of the link: “80+ umbrellas. COPIES of War and Peace.” As it turns out, that was the most interesting part of the presentation, which was, essentially, like a news report that brags about how much reporting was done, without actually telling the story. There was no new information. I kept wondering if there was some hidden meaning in the poster. It was, after all, an example they were using in their hearing on Russian hacking. Given the paranoia surrounding Russian meddling, the War and Peace reference makes it seem as if even Tolstoy was in on the scheme. Maybe some staffer made an inside joke, or more likely, it was just because War and Peace is a long book. But as I stood in the back of the crowded briefing room listening to the senators take credit for the work their staffers were doing, I couldn’t help but stare at the clip-art book beside War and Peace and ponder how, when you look at something too long, it splinters into millions of micro-realities. I found myself thinking of The Umbrella Man, Errol Morris’ mini-documentary about a man who was seen in the footage of the crowds along the motorcade route in Dallas on the day that Kennedy was assassinated. The film starts with a man in a black suit, holding an umbrella, walking. It cuts to Josiah Thompson, who made Six Seconds in Dallas, a film examining the assassination in great detail, explaining the Umbrella Man. “And then I noticed in all of Dallas there Graffiti in the separatist Catalonia region of Spain reads “more poetry less police.” appears to be exactly one person standing under an open black umbrella, and that person is standing where the shots begin to rain into the limOn Nov. 22, 1963 in Dallas, it was not raining.

drinking was a big reason why they were not carrying. Under Georgia law, it is illegal to discharge a firearm while under the influence of alcohol or drugs. “Most people that have a carry license are not going to carry if they are drinking,” said Audra Bleecker of Atlanta.
Landers emphasized that he carries only to protect his family, and wouldn’t get involved in a situation on campus unless he needed to. “I won’t ever use my gun to protect someone else,” he said. “There are too many crazy lawsuits.” In a memo in May, the University System of Georgia noted that gun storage facilities will not be provided on campuses, meaning those carrying would have to find somewhere to store their gun before entering the stadium. Between that and the law regarding drinking and carrying, many felt it was easier to just leave their guns in their cars. Some didn’t feel like tailgating was a situation where they would ever need to defend themselves. Bill Hallman of
Still, Bleecker is concerned about being on a campus where concealed carry is allowed, “especially in a situation like this when people are drinking and there are rivalries and what all.” “People get to eating and drinking, they could shoot up the whole campus,” Ashfield said. “Not being able to carry while you drink is a good thing,” said Andrew Herrington, a Mississippi State fan from Austin, TX.
Conyers, a 24-year Navy veteran, supports students’ ability to defend themselves on campus during classes and at night, but left his gun in his car while tailgating before the Mississippi State game. “We carry guns, but we don’t feel like we need to come to a site like this and need a gun,” he said. “I don’t feel threatened here. There’s 93,000 people, why do you need a gun to protect yourself?” Herrington flew in from Texas for the Mississippi State game and decided to leave
No Trigger-Happy Tailgaters DESPITE NEW LAW, FEW FANS CARRY GUNS ON GAME DAYS By Nate Harris news@flagpole.com

JOHN KELLEY / UGA ATHLETICS
fter Georgia’s campus carry law went into effect in July, students and campus visitors are now allowed to carry concealed firearms in most places on campus, with exclusions specifically for residence halls, Greek houses, staff and administrative offices and athletic venues such as Sanford Stadium. But while weapons cannot be taken inside the stadium on game days, those celebrating Saturdays in Athens at tailgates outside the stadium and all across campus are allowed to arm themselves. Just because they can, though, doesn’t mean they are. Flagpole spoke with tailgaters during the Appalachian State and Mississippi State football games, and while some supported the ability to carry handguns on college campuses, none of them were taking advantage of the new law. “I don’t feel the need to have it on me,” said Charles Ashfield, a concealed-carry permit holder tailgating outside the Myers Quad before the App State game. Instead, Ashfield left his pistol in his vehicle. “With [the shootings in the news] going on, I might have to bring it eventually, but until something happens, I don’t see a real need to,” he said. Despite lauding the right to bear arms, many campus carry supporters actually advocated against people carrying guns while tailgating. “People should exercise their Second Amendment right, but people should absolutely not be carrying out here,” said Chris Landers of Jefferson, noting the large crowd on the Myers Quad before the App State game. Landers and other permit holders said

his gun at home rather than worry about the hassle at the airport. Had he driven, he said he probably would have brought it and left it in his hotel room. “I don’t feel that endangered,” he said. “I feel perfectly fine here.” Several Mississippi State fans said they’re used to not bringing guns on college campuses, since their alma mater does not allow concealed carry on campus. “Really, guns shouldn’t be involved on campus,” said Carson, who declined to give his last name. “That law was a bit ridiculous.” North Carolina also has restrictions on campus carry, so App State students tailgating at UGA didn’t consider carrying during their visit. UGA spokesman Greg Trevor said police patrol campus during football games, and there have been no incidents related to the new law, though the university would not discuss the specifics of its security practices. “License holders who choose to carry handguns on campus are expected to know and comply with the law,” Trevor said in a statement. So far, it seems as though they have. “I don’t have a problem with campus carry,” Hallman said. “Follow the guidelines, only take them into the spaces where you’re allowed.” Six Georgia professors—including three from UGA—filed a lawsuit in Fulton County last month alleging that campus carry is endangering students and faculty, and stifling classroom debate. The lawsuit argues that Gov. Nathan Deal and the state legislature usurped the Board of Regents’ authority to set policies for public colleges and universities, and seeks to have the law declared unconstitutional. However, Shane McAdams of Athens said he hasn’t seen a difference since the law took effect. “I don’t think it actually changed anything,” he said. “Every person that was carrying a gun last year is carrying a gun this year. It didn’t change a damn thing.” f

Can We End Hunger in Athens? AFTER 25 YEARS, THE FOOD BANK OF NORTHEAST GEORGIA THINKS SO By Lauren Baggett news@flagpole.com
Bark Athens’ Halloween Costume Dog Parade Through Historic Boulevard Neighborhood
Sunday, Oct. 15 · 3pm (Rain or Shine)
On a sunny Monday afternoon in mid-September, Athens business leaders, residents and a few political bigwigs gathered on a warehouse floor, ready to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia. The event also marked the grand reopening of the food bank’s Athens location on Newton Bridge Road following a major revamp of the site. Visitors sat politely in chairs facing a podium where the food bank’s president, John Becker, began the program by thanking the many donors at the national, state and local levels who had contributed to the three-year long capital campaign that paid for the renovations. Later, after snagging a piece of cake or a cookie iced to look like a vegetable, the group would tour the new space.
Hice mentioned the 2018 renegotiation of the federal farm bill. The Locavore touched on the policies that the farm bill authorizes earlier this year, the largest of which is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP. These benefits, in addition to the efforts of the food bank, are crucial to reducing food insecurity in Athens. “I think we have a great opportunity, frankly, to find ways to make more secure and even to increase the sustainability of these types of programs,” Hice said. “All of that is extremely critical to what we’re all doing here.” It’s a rather encouraging remark from the very conservative Hice, given that his party is aiming to slash programs that are designed to reduce poverty. Cuts to these benefits could mean that families have to JESSICA SILVERMAN

With a newly expanded facility, the Food Bank of Northeast Georgia hopes to provide 14 million meals per year.
The changes are all part of an effort to distribute 1 million more pounds of food per year, said Becker, before he shared an even loftier goal of ending hunger in northeast Georgia in five years. “We can do that now. We’ve got two new truck docks [and] an extra 24,000 effective feet of storage space,” he told the crowd. “We’ve got fresh frozen storage, and we’re working on just-in-time shipping. We’re working with our agencies. We can do this.” If Becker offered a vision of the future, Mayor Nancy Denson was on hand to remind attendees of the food bank’s beginnings. A somewhat apocryphal tale claims that the food bank started in Denson’s garage, although in truth, Denson said, her garage just became a staging area for one of the first drives put on by the newly formed food bank when some paperwork held up the use of the facility the board had leased. “I happened to be the only person on the board with a garage with doors that shut,” she said. In those early days, “we referred to the food bank visitors as neighbors,” said Denson, because if you don’t help a neighbor in need, what does that say about you? This was a sentiment repeated by almost every speaker at the podium, including U.S. Rep. Jody Hice. Turning to a broad, national outlook,
make even more tough choices about how to spend their income, and unfortunately, food may not win out over the cost of medication or rent. Even if SNAP benefits remain untouched, the spillover effect may indirectly cause families to go hungry. Still, Becker is committed to his goal. “If we’re getting the job done of ending hunger, then food insecurity should be zero in our area,” he said. Becker even joked that he’d like to see a counter tick down the number of hungry people in northeast Georgia with each meal served. “That picture is 14 million meals from the Food Bank of NEGA. We’re right at 10 million meals now, so now that five-year counter takes off in getting there.” Of course, hunger mirrors the economic condition of a community, and as of now, over one-third of Athens residents are living below the poverty line. And rural communities like those that make up most of northeast Georgia are more likely to grapple with food insecurity than urban areas. To a cynical mind, it begs the question of whether that counter can ever reach zero. But given the growth and success of the food bank’s many efforts to tackle hunger— Food2Kids, Hunger Bowl, Kids Café, the mobile food pantry and partner agency distributions, to name a few—there’s reason to believe. f

Pups on Parade BOO-LE-BARK RETURNS FOR A SECOND YEAR By Emma Korstanje music@flagpole.com
T
he inaugural Boo-le-Bark on the Boulevard dog parade, in 2016, was a huge hit. “[People] talk about it like it’s been going on for a while—that’s how successful it was,” says Marilyn Estes, co-chair of the committee in charge of the the event, which began last fall as a fundraiser for local nonprofit Athenspets, an all-volunteer group that helps animals in Athens-Clarke County shelters find permanent homes.

Conner Tribble, who plans to return for a second year. Local vendors have been scheduled for the Canine Carnival, with one in particular, Hughes Subaru, offering free dog-tag engraving services. The kids corner of the parade—a no-dog zone—will feature children’s band Allegro. “It’s really just trying to do it again and do it as well, and focus on the fact that it’s bringing the community together,” says Lisa Milot, a representative for Athenspets. Committee members say they hope “When we started it, we set out for it people all around Athens, not just from to be an annual event,” says Estes. “We Boulevard and surrounding neighborhoods, never really stopped.

Self-Portraits and Landscapes LOUISE BLAIR DAURA ON DISPLAY AT THE GEORGIA MUSEUM By Jessica Smith arts@flagpole.com Considerably understudied until now, painter Louise Blair Daura offers a glimpse into the Parisian art scene through her work and letters. Currently on view at the Georgia Museum of Art through Sunday, Dec. 10, “Louise Blair Daura: A Virginian in Paris” marks the first time a museum has attempted to examine her comparatively brief (1928–’32) but accomplished career as an exhibiting artist. Pulling paintings, drawings and prints from multiple collections, the exhibition features all of Louise’s known works of art. Born in Richmond, VA in 1905 as Louise Heron Blair, Daura graduated with an English degree in 1927 from Bryn Mawr College in Pennsylvania. The following year, she set out for Europe to study art by visiting museums and taking private lessons, eventually making her way to Paris. It was here that she met and soon married her art teacher, Catalan artist Pierre Daura, who co-founded a group of abstractionists called Cercle et Carré (Circle and Square) along with Joaquín Torres Garcia and Michel Seuphor in 1929. Though her artwork was not abstract and she never joined the group herself,
Daura forged ahead with her own unique style of portraiture, which often accentuated certain facial features—slightly bigger eyes, rosier cheeks, poutier lips. The exhibition includes several enlarged photographs of Daura, which makes for fun comparison to her numerous self-portraits. She also created many landscapes depicting the historic architecture, calm waters and rolling countrysides seen around her home and through her travels. Daura frequently wrote letters to family members, many of which are included in the exhibition’s accompanying publication, that offer invaluable insight into a specific time and place in art history. While exemplifying the experience of a woman artist and relating associated challenges, her correspondence also illuminates the clashing relationships between coexisting art groups like the reactionaries, surrealists and elementarists. She did not identify as belonging to any one group and likely felt disconnected from the art world as a whole, but she expresses intriguing observations and criticisms nonetheless. The Georgia Museum is home to the Pierre Daura Center, which was established in 2002 as a gift from “Self-Portrait in Paris” by Louise Blair Daura daughter Martha Randolph Daura. The artist’s archive spans art history, the Daura Curator is responsible from the 1920s–’60s, for directing the museum’s programming in with over 600 paintEuropean art. ings, prints, drawings Boland, who is now director and chief and sculptures that curator of the Gregory Allicar Museum of reflect an interesting Art at Colorado State University, will give a period in modern art. gallery talk on Friday, Oct. 13. at 2 p.m. The gift also included Also curated by Boland, “Modern an endowment to Masters from the Giuliano Ceseri support the center Collection” shares 19th and 20th Century and the Pierre Daura pieces selected from the private collection, Curator of European which has been on long-term loan to the Art, a position formuseum since 1995.

Conquering Conflict GLENN PHILLIPS HEADLINES PICKIN’ FOR PEACE BENEFIT By Abigail Sherrod music@flagpole.com
It’s
a scary time in the world. Our hearts break regularly as our newsfeeds are flooded with stories of terror and violence. Though these problems cannot be solved overnight, resolution has to start somewhere. In Athens, that somewhere is the Georgia Conflict Center, whose motto is: “Conflict is inevitable. Violence is not.” In an effort to prevent conflict from evolving into violence, GCC provides tools that help community members address conflict handily and healthily. While providing services for individuals and one-on-one relationships, GCC also works to help schools, jails, businesses and churches. Under the guidance of Executive Director John Lash, GCC has had a significant influence on the Athens community in the eight years that it has resided here.
That tragedy had a profound impact on Phillips. “I’ve had panic attacks my entire adult life” before going to the doctor, Phillips says. Yet “my anxiety about doctors wasn’t about doctors. What I realized was that it all started after my father killed himself… It’s all about fight or flight.” In the end, Phillips decided to face the conflict instead of run. As he began educating himself on conflict, he learned that “you can change—you just have to be open to it.” As he got further away from the event, Phillips realized he couldn’t change it, but “I learned how to change the way I thought about it.” After adapting how he related to his father’s suicide, Phillips stopped having panic attacks. Phillips infused all of this into his music. In 1975, he wrote and released his first album, Lost at Sea. The eclectic

album, considered one of the first DIY recordings and a lost classic for many years, was reissued in 2015 in a collaborative effort by Snow Star, Feeding Tube and Sharat Records. “The hope was to try to find a kind of timeless music,” Phillips says about the album. “The only way to do that was to be connected to the truth of the moment.” Even now, when Phillips plays, he doesn’t make setlists. “It’s all an intuitive process—what it feels like in that moment,” he says. Instead of reflecting on hurts from the past or possible ones in the future, Phillips’ goal is to recognize what is happening in the present and meet people there. In this way, Phillips hopes his music can assist the vision of GCC. If anyone is experiencing unresolved conflict, “There’s a place for them to go that can help them,” Phillips says. “By being part of the soundtrack for that… I feel very lucky and privileged.” Other performers at Sunday’s show include Klezmer Local 42, Maggie Mason Hunter and Tommy Jordan. Tickets include entry to the concert, access to a silent auction and a beverage. Read more in Threats & Promises on p. 12. f

In part to help fund its services, GCC is hosting Pickin’ for Peace on Sunday at The Foundry, an annual silent auction and benefit concert held during National Conflict Resolution Month. All funds raised through the event go toward expanding the services and programs offered by GCC. Though it’s a lighthearted, family-friendly event, Pickin’ for Peace aims to deal with deep-seated issues facing our community and nation. This year’s event headliner, Glenn Phillips—the acclaimed Atlanta guitarist and composer known for his solo output and work with the legendary Hampton Grease Band—echoes this sentiment. “Conflict resolution has never been a more important issue throughout my entire lifetime,” says the 67-yearold Phillips. “We’re living in an age where you have the president of the United States… using conflict as a way to increase his political capital.” As the U.S. remains profoundly split on many issues, often evidenced by violence, Phillips says the answer is “learning to work together instead of fighting when people think differently from you.” Asked by organizers if he would come play this year’s show, Phillips was eager to sign on. “I’m very interested in the work that they’re doing,” he says. Phillips has seen not only the communal benefits of conflict resolution, but more personal ones as well. At a young age, Phillips and his father, Charles, became estranged when Phillips decided to pursue life as a musician as opposed to a more traditional career path. Then, one night in May 1973, Phillips’ father came to him and made peace, telling him to not give up on his aspirations. Later that night, Charles killed himself.

PLUS, MORE MUSIC NEWS AND GOSSIP By Gordon Lamb threatsandpromises@flagpole.com AA MEETING: I feel weird that I haven’t mentioned the digital releases of Antlered Aunt Lord’s Ostensibly Formerly Stunted, One Mouth to Live and Stolen From the Narrator. So, I’m mentioning them now. Each has been previously released in physical form, but through the secret magic of technology, heretofore non-antlered explorers can try them out before plunking down the bucks. The band, which has always had a shambolic tendency—and been dismissed by some simply because of its admittedly aesthetically unpleasing and uncomfortable mouthful of a name—is in actuality a lo-fi pop force on par with the most revered recordings by, say, Guided By Voices. My favorite of these is Ostensibly Formerly Stunted, but try them all on for size and see which fits you best. Head to antleredauntlord1.bandcamp.com to try ’em on.

NOSEBLEED SECTION: Hard rockers Maximum Busy Muscle released their new self-titled album last week, the first recordings the band has offered up in two years. It’s riff-heavy, as you’d expect, but pretty damn melodic and grooving, too. For the uninitiated, Maximum Busy Muscle’s most spectacular live element is its two-drummer approach. And there’s no denying that both drummers, Mary-Eleanor Joyce and Erika Rickson, deliver the solid one-two (and often solidly dual) punches exactly where they need to go. I can’t really discern this dynamic from the group’s recordings, though, Antlered Aunt Lord and maybe that’s intentional, but in a live setting it’s certainly something to see. Based on my personal experience, this new record is great for daytime Mediterranean Café, Mama’s Boy, Marti’s at Midday, Big and nighttime driving, depending on whether you’re in the City Bread, Hi-Lo Lounge, Trappeze Pub and Sweetie Pie by mood to punch other drivers in the face or simply punch Savie.

The Blade Runner Sequel Is Great, But… PLUS, A BIOPIC THAT’S TOO RELEVANT FOR THESE TIMES
BATTLE OF THE SEXES (PG-13) Battle of the Sexes provides a public service, recreating a watershed pop-culture moment that has been mostly forgotten in this short-attention-span era where everything is televised so nothing is remembered. In 1973, Billie Jean King (Emma Stone) was atop the world of women’s tennis. Still, she grimaced as her sport and her gender were dually disrespected by the old guard, represented in the film by the face of pro tennis player Jack Kramer (Bill Pullman). As a result, King had to take on 55-year-old, self-styled male chauvinist Bobby Riggs (Steve Carell) in a spectacle dubbed the Battle of the Sexes. Everything in this film from Little Miss Sunshine duo Valerie Faris and Jonathan Dayton works perfectly. As is key in any biopic, its leads are subsumed by their reallife subjects. All Carell has to do is retain Riggs’ charismatic showmanship despite his sexism. It’s Stone who has it tough, balancing King somewhere between paragon of virtue and unsympathetic revolutionary. Considering the current political and social climate, this sports dramedy seems way more timely than it does old-fashioned. f

hey, bonita…
My Needy Pal Won’t Take the Hint ADVICE FOR ATHENS’ LOOSE AND LOVELORN By Bonita Applebum advice@flagpole.com Hey Bonita! I wrote you a while back about a graduate school classmate of mine who is much older than me and tends to over-communicate, sending text message after text message after text message and putting what I have now learned to describe as a great deal of “emotional labor” on me. I’ve graduated since that last email, and recently had a very awkward encounter with her. We both interviewed for a job that both of us really wanted. She actually hid the fact that she got her interview for the job before I got my interview, because she didn’t want to hurt my feelings. I think that’s kind of silly, since we are adults,

are very different people. I just can’t seem to say no to this woman and her incredible need for attention. I feel sorry for her, and I feel like I might be her only friend. Not that we’re actually friends! Thanks for writing in again! I remember your question, and I think I advised you to let her know when you’re not able to communicate with her, no matter how often that is. If you have to tell her after every text message that you’re busy, just do it, and eventually she’ll get the idea. Apparently you’ve done that, but she’s still up to her

but anyway, I got the job. I know that me getting the job upset her, because as an over-communicator she typically responds to text messages immediately, and it took her a few hours to respond to my message that I had gotten hired. I felt bad, so I actually recommended her to an interviewer for a job that I had declined just as some sort of consolation. The truth is that I didn’t think she was cut out for the job at all, and when she responded to me about her interview experience, I felt as though she totally blew it. Now that we are out of school, she continues to over-communicate in relation to jobs— sending text message after text message after text message, asking me to review her resume and cover letters, and texting me endlessly, it seems, about any job prospects or interview that she has. I feel so guilty about getting a job that she obviously felt she had in the sack that I respond and try to be as helpful as I can. At this point, however, we are simply going over the same things over and over again! How many times can I give her tips on a cover letter? How many times can I help with her resume? I actually even told her at one point that she could simply plagiarize one of my cover letters for a similar job. That didn’t even help. What do I do? This woman is in her mid-40s and still lives with her parents, and I don’t think she has many close friends outside of church. I’m not religious, and I’m extremely independent—we

motormouth ways, even now that you’re no longer classmates. I agree that you two are just very different people with different lifestyles and communication styles, and I also agree that it’s probably her isolation that drives her to continually reach out to you. But you don’t have time for that, and you certainly don’t have time for all this childish meddling and worry around finding work. She’s in her 40s, and it’s her responsibility, not yours. Also, you don’t owe her your time or your ear in exchange for getting a job that she wanted. At this point, I’d recommend cutting her off. Send her an email or text explaining that you’re working and busy now, and that you’re not available for all this back-andforth. After that, stop responding to her altogether. I know it sounds harsh, but I feel like she’s choosing to ignore your cues about needing space. She’s being pushy and trying to force your friendship, and that never works. You don’t want to be her friend— hell, you stated very plainly that you’re not her friend. If she’s not willing to consciously back off, you should just take yourself out of the equation. Emotional labor is draining, and you’ve done enough. f
