My early career started with Title IX and Clery Act investigations. All I can say is I’m not surprised. At all.

The thing about being an educated woman in your field is you’ll know all the fantastic and groundbreaking research/information but you will also know every fantastic thing not pursued because it relates to women.

What I can say is… colleges have incentive to keep things like this quiet and it’s been going on for years. Almost any school I guarantee you find a woman who was attacked and their attacker’s future was put before hers by the admin. The Clery Act was proposed for a reason.

"at one magical instant in your early childhood, the page of a book- that string of confused, alien ciphers- shivered into meaning. words spoke to you, gave up their secrets; at that moment, whole universes opened. you became, irrevocably, a reader."

UCD Press author Maria Butler (@mariabutler.bsky.social) has a fantastic piece in the Irish Examiner this week about Marian Keyes and women’s commercial fiction. Our thanks to @deshocks.bsky.social and @irishexaminer.bsky.social for sharing this article. 📰 www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/comm...

Marian Keyes' writing is a powerful force for social change

Women's commercial fiction — or chick lit as it is dismissively called — helps to shape society in subtle ways, writes Dr Maria Butler

🧵 A dramatic Dublin sunset is a good example why I love colour. Irish skies are transcendent & it’s mythology full of wonders. I think both find their way into my drawings: vivid colour, pattern, and a little bit of the Otherworld as you can see if you scroll down! [1]

I stopped putting my photography online years ago when they first started grabbing what they could. Now I have very limited outlets if I want to sell it, but at the end of the day it’s for me.

O hey Reminder that in (homophobic) '94 as Dookie was blowing up, Green Day picked queercore Pansy Division to open for them + a lot of venues pressured them to drop them as openers -- Green Day told the venues they wouldn't play if PD didn't - and the venues (mostly? all?) backed down. huh.

I’m not saying it feels like the housing market is about to not look great, but on our 20 min walk, there are four homes that have been on the market for months. Single family, 2-4 bedroom, modestly sized. None are selling. They used to be sold within a few weeks in this area.

This is so important. If you want to help, find a group already doing the work. They will have the experience and the blueprint, they just need people to show up. No need to reinvent what’s being done, it’s already there.

Today’s tidbit: The Icelandic word for stupid is “heimskur”, it’s root is in the word “heima” which means “home”. So being stupid is basically someone who has never left home and never looks beyond it.

One of my friends had a roommate in 2014 doing research on how people would purchase books once it became more widely known that you don’t really own kindle books. They can also edit the content in addition to yanking them. Ever since then, I’ve viewed kindle as a library you pay for.

One of my friends was allowed only one week of PTO after having her daughter before she had to go back to work. Because it was a new job… and she hadn’t been there long enough to have short term. I was upset to only have 10 weeks… can you imagine one week to bond with your child and recover?
