pre-pandemic, i was out of town when a particular library card said I needed to go into the branch to re-authorize it. i was absolutely still eligible for that card, but even once i got home, it was going to be a pain in the ass to actually get to the branch in person.

Trans kids are not a "contentious issue" and their rights aren’t up for debate. Trans kids need to be loved and supported—not thrown under the bus to score political points.

There are many in public health who are actively working to be collaborators, as in “assisting the enemy” Gregg is absolutely right. Oh, and btw since it’s under attack, this is why tenure is necessary & good. (Ranney, one of the collaborationists, is the dean of the Yale school of public health)

Apparently this platform has taken an official anti-death penalty stance, because they will suspend or ban users if they say that a specific person should be tried and executed for their crimes when that person has killed people. So long as that person isn't an elected official, it seems.

if someone removes you as a follower on insta but does not stop following you, is that more likely a sign that they're interested in stirring up drama or that they just didn't finish the job for whatever reason?

If you're in the Boston area, Matt's overview of the nurse and clinician strike at Brigham is a must-read. If you can get out there to the picket lines and support the strikers, I hope you do. They are fighting for better pay and safer patients.

My sister, who is very similar to me, was diagnosed when we were kids. I was missed. We’re a natural experiment on this exact question. After diagnosis, my sister got kicked out of the school we both attended & thrown in special ed & ABA. She grew up being told she was a broken failure./

A story I love about Anthony Stewart Head. Thank you to this person for sharing it on Tumblr. What a mensch.
A photo of Tony Head with a fan, standing in a barn near a horse. Tumblr post from dracofidus: If you EVER think Anthony Head is anything less than an angel then you'd best remember that I have always been a huge fan of his and we've always had a little contact over the years and he heard I'd come out as Trans and was having a hard time and that I was kind of sad that the photos I had from conventions with him were of me with long hair and no binder and they were all signed to "Sarah" and so he invited me to spend the day with him at his farm and he picked me up from the station and we just hung out and had lunch and he insisted on paying and look loads of photos and had them printed on photo paper the same day so he could sign them to Jay, along with other photos of him as Giles and Utger and he literally spent five hours chatting with me and got all the pronoun stuff right every time and then he dropped me off at the station, gave me a massive hug. Waved me through the ticket barrier and insisted I message him when I got home so he knew I was back safe.

Lololol I picked up a new interest which allowed me to figure out a whole additional red flag that goes nicely with someone’s red flag collection. Oh, you mean that wasn’t an oversight but instead is a consistent personality trait/intentional choice? Good to know.

when we mourn le guin, we mourn one of our greatest writers & thinkers. but we also mourn one of our all-time greatest haters
All you do is take all the sex out, and use little short words, and little dumb ideas, and don't be too scary, and be sure there's a happy ending. Right? Nothing to it. Write down. Right on.

If you do all that, you might even write Jonathan Livingston Seagull and make twenty billion dollars and have every adult in America reading your book.

But you won't have every kid in America reading your book. They will look at it, and they will see straight through it, with their clear, cold, beady little eyes, and they will put it down, and they will go away. Kids will devour vast amounts of garbage (and it is good for them) but they are not like adults: they have not yet learned to eat plastic.
