About Citizens for Boysenberry Jam

Citizens for Boysenberry Jam is an independent publication launched in June 2026 under the influence of extreme insomnia by me, Parker Jones.

I have a BA in Art History and Economics, a MS in Technology Management, and an adult ADHD diagnosis. I live in Northern Virginia with two small dogs, one medium large husband, several plants, and a milk frother, which makes my cold foam daily and I rely for mental stability to a disproportionate degree.

Special thanks to my husband who never says no when I ask him to edit a 3,000 word essay on the weirdest shit, and asks me key, probing questions like, "have you eaten food or had water to drink today?"

All writing contained herein is a work of figuring stuff out for my own edification and as such is written by me, not AI. All em dashes, run-on sentences, big words, references to goblins, and other idiosyncrasies are mine alone. I do admit that as part of my writing process I occasionally ask Claude to: help me come up with the actual name of the artist I can't remember but whose work I can describe in excruciating detail, do a readability assessment and tell me when I have a sentence with sixteen embedded clauses so that I can review it and insist it's perfect as is, and occasionally tell me I'm funny even if it probably just means I'm writing jokes for robots.
