E.T. I was absolutely petrified by the scary, quarantined house draped in plastic and weird apocalyptic suits on the doctors. Still am!

People in suits clutter the yard of a house draped in plastic.

Thank you! I lost my mind and decided it's time to get my doctorate. In heaven thus far

I am still in the trauma of moving without having had a chance to properly downsize to the space we moved into because desperation. NEVER. AGAIN.

I'm honestly kind of shocked that you shared something from the Daily Caller.

'In 1953, the civil rights activist James Baldwin wrote that “people are trapped in history and history is trapped in them”...the greater the proportion of enslaved people in a county in 1860, the bigger the mortality gap between Black and white people in the 2010s.' 🧪🩺⚖️

Slavery linked to mortality gap between Black and white Americans today

New study is among the first to quantify and explain slavery’s influence in contemporary U.S. health disparities

Question for my fellow perimenopause queens: What facial sunscreen do you use that does NOT trigger hot flashes? I absolutely need the protection (Colorado!) but am sick of arriving at every destination looking like I need CPR

Ooh. I recommend staying somewhere that has a proper German breakfast spread and reading as many plaques as you can.

That's terrible, I'm so sorry. Was she laid up for a really long time when she first got it?

If a virile, rich ROOSEVELT could get polio, so could anyone. (And they did! Honestly polio's branding as 'infantile paralysis' was pretty damaging)

I also think it's hard to emphasize how much FDR's adult polio and visible disability (even though there was lots of covering it up, too) affected Americans' perception of polio.

So apparently my book deadline, my Escape to The Academy, and raging perimenopause are all converging at once and...OMG. I am strong but I don't know if I am that strong!

How's RF these days? I saw her several times much earlier in her career and always loved her.

They paid for my lodging for two nights in Oswiecim, gave us attendees a few meals and a TON of extensive access to the museum and its workers. There were no promises to cover on my part and I paid for my transportation to/from. And STILL I wrung my hands!

Erin Blakemore @erinblakemore.bsky.social · 13/08/2026

The only press trip I ever accepted was paid for by Auschwitz, the museum of the death camp in Poland, and only after much hand-wringing on my part. I finally concluded that the stories that would come from it were in the public interest and went without regret. Anyway, fuck this guy.

I mean, "pelts" was just there for the taking.

I am so stressed that if anyone even talks to me, I might just answer with indistinct shrieks and collapse into a pile of dust. Here for your compliments and encouragement, though.
