Tonight on #WTAF #ChronicallyIll edition: I have been on iron supplements for like 3 years. Why are they just now, suddenly, in fucking blister packs? Blister packs should be for shit I need rarely. Migraine rescue meds. Cold med. Not a fucking twice a day med.

I just had the deeply unsettling realization that children born in the years I graduated HS and college are both legally old enough to drink. I am going to go stare at a wall for a bit. TIDAL, play Sunrise, Sunset.

But if you come on here and tell me it is a #Witchhunt to hold a bunch of privileged Ivy League frat boys and the administrators who enabled them accountable? Fucking miss me with that. 6/6

Stripping the right to needed reproductive Healthcare from women based in religious objections in a country that guarantees separation of church and state? That's a #witchhunt. 5/

You want an actual example of current, ongoing #witchunts? Targeted attacks by those with lots of social or political power against trans people? Absolutely a #witchhunt. 3/

Calling out rapists by name is not a #witchhunt. It is a social consequence. Calling out the names of the university administrators who utterly failed Jane Doe and sharing their publicly available contact information? Not a #witchhunt. A social consequence. 2/

Also, while we are on the subject, historically, #witchhunts targeted the disenfranchised in history. Women, the very poor, the disabled, the elderly, the social outcast. Vulnerable populations were who, the majority of the time, got accused of witchcraft. 1/

Reminder that for the acts who left the Ed Sheeran tour today in solidarity with Palestine and Macklemore's stand on it, this was a huge opportunity for them financially and in terms of exposure. Support their stand by streaming their music, buy copies if you can, and sharing their stuff.

There are some...cozy horror elements in some of the books in this world. Happy to talk spoilers if you want to DM me for details. But yeah, they are gentler than her straight of horror.

My friend loves the Gnoles in @tkingfisher.com 's World of the White Rat books. So I dressed up this little guy for her (I did not make the plush- not that many spoons). But the advantage of being a reenactment nerd is when you ask friends for Wool scraps, they deliver.

ChronicBitch @beccavongroote.bsky.social · 11/09/2026

Yeah, it's the French version of bocci or lawn bowling. People who take it very seriously have their own ball sets they bring to tournaments and what not. Kinda like ultimate Frisbee people, if their weird cooler bag things looked more BDSM.

It's almost like being treated like a human being instead of an object gets you farther with women than how you look. Who knew? (Anyone who has paid the slightest attention to women in the past millenia). 🙄

The Devil's Beating His Wife is a southern one, more common among the older generations, but not out of use. I still use it (in my mid-40s), though I have moved out of the South, so friends in new region are often very confused.

But with exterior pressures on higher ed right now, I have concerns about long range job security and what happens if my role does go away. Would love any resources or insight you have for individuals needing remote work and how to find those kind of positions...

ChronicBitch @beccavongroote.bsky.social · 04/09/2026

(aka 95% + remote work and a fair amount of ability to flex my schedule to take breaks and rest as needed). However, I also have no idea how to transition in to/effectively look for other remote work positions that might work well for me and not be a huge pay cut. Not looking to jump right away 2/

Something I am struggling with is as someone with Long Covid who managed to hang on to their job through a supportive employer/ADA accommodations, I feel both grateful, but also fairly trapped. I know I would be unlikely to be hired by other employers in my field needing this accommodations 1/

Our new university President is a mathematician, so I tried Google searching their specialty. What that gave me must be what having a stroke feels like, so I am just going to pretend my first first read of the topic title was correct and it's how many bi-folds there are in Leonard Nemoy geometry.

For fuck sake, I was saying this exact thing as it was happening. I compared daily death tolls to 9/11. I compared monthly death tolls to the sizes of various places I had lived. I noted when we had passed the number of Americans killed in various wars. Because this was a traumatic death event.

When your timeline is filled with queer folks and brown/Black people singing the praises of and loudly mourning a 1940s-Tennessee-born white Boomer lady, welp. She was pretty goddamn extraordinary, you can assume.

I really don't think they realize that we are no longer in the "When they go low, we go high" era. We are in the "When they go low, we drag them to Hell" era. They need to get the fuck on board.

Switching to writing non-fiction when most of your writer friends are still fiction writers is weird, because they're like, "Writing sprints?" and I am like, "That isn't really how this works for me anymore?" as I am collating my research and building case timelines.
