(Originally published to Substack February 19, 2026) Everyone wants to be friends with The Celebrity. When The Celebrity walks into the room, you know. Ears perk up, heads turn, and the room erupts in salutations. They’re here! It’s never promised that they’ll show (they could be anywhere else in the world), but they tell you that there’s no where else they’d rather be. That this is the most important thing to them right now. The Celebrity is charming and kind and...]]></description><link>https://www.emilyisalive.com/post/i-m-friends-with-the-celebrity-and-everyone-is-jealous</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f513f090b4365cb86100b5</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2026 21:09:43 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Emily Keller</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Something something... the indomitable human spirit... ?]]></title><description><![CDATA[Are the kids okay? They will be. (Originally published to Substack January 30, 2026) Written mostly before recent events in Minnesota which is certainly an even more apt topic to reference regarding the indomitable human spirit. Hopefully you’re finding some time today to protest/strike in your own way. This is the Reddit r/Minnesota Master List of resources for several options. Blood donations is one of the ways you can help which also intersects with my personal obsession with The Pitt rn....]]></description><link>https://www.emilyisalive.com/post/something-something-the-indomitable-human-spirit</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f512ce7db2f4343a41fd47</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2026 21:09:40 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Emily Keller</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sunday Scaries (Luck and Love)]]></title><description><![CDATA[They call you Lady Luck but there is room for doubt. At times, you've had a very unlady-like way of running out. (Originally posted to Substack on November 2, 2025) Luck be a lady because I’m feeling just about as unlucky as they come. That’s not entirely true but it’s a Sunday and that is a most opportune time to lament over one’s love life. This is often done alone in your room which is sometimes clean and sometimes not. I have just bought new room decor and switched out my bedding— not...]]></description><link>https://www.emilyisalive.com/post/sunday-scaries-luck-and-love</link><guid isPermaLink="false">69f511d1b7104c93b99da3cf</guid><pubDate>Fri, 01 May 2026 21:09:33 GMT</pubDate><dc:creator>Emily Keller</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Post Tik Tok Substack Era]]></title><description><![CDATA[What I’ve been up to lately (originally posted to Substack March 17, 2025) In the year of our lord 2025, on the day my meaningful life ended (January 19th) I deleted Tik Tok.
