I will never not smile when I crest the hill on my road that presents the first view of our valley. There is no season in which it doesn't look like a postcard. And I will never take home for granted again.

A truly heinous man has doxxed the Cornell victim on X and the comments are predictably vile. Based on countless interviews I’ve done with survivors, the trauma they are subjected to for coming forward is oftentimes even worse than the initial trauma they experienced. There is no real justice system

Having real #MeToo flashbacks today, what with various news stories going around, and thinking a lot about how women were encouraged to rip themselves open and show off our trauma, in all its Technicolor glory, so that men might begin to believe us

this is why so many women were saying they would choose the bear and you got mad about that too. I am just saying, a bear would never do this

this is the rape culture btw. the one women have been warning you about, and were told we were hysterical and over-sensitive and couldn't take a joke, and that rape allegations ruin men's lives, and now we live in a meritocracy where the only "merit" is who has hurt the most women

These people make Marie Antoinette look connected to the people and empathetic by comparison. They laugh at what their own voters are going through as they continue to mock them as they enrich themselves and have a great time.

Today, I see angry young men online LARPing as Catholics, often for the aesthetic. They celebrate strength and hate the weak. The use slurs against the disabled and fantasize about enacting Crusader violence against their enemies. I wish the Pope would speak directly on this.

The Pope reminds me of a version of Catholicism I knew growing up as a young man attending anti-war and anti-death penalty protests, where I met elderly Catholics who shared their version of faith with me. I learned that Catholicism was about love and mercy for the weak, the condemned, and the poor.

I hope all the middle-aged women whose lives have been vastly improved by an ADHD diagnosis understand that we’re on the list after trans and autistic people. RFK Jr thinks we should be sent to camps instead of taking a daily medication to bring our dopamine pathways up to a normal level.

BTW, the CDC just changed the rules again saying healthcare workers can return to work 4 days after testing + for Covid, meaning they will be treating patients during their peak infectiousness. If anyone was considering not wearing a respirator or mask in a doctor’s office or hospital

Nurse: Are you sick? Me: Immunocompromised. Nurse: Would you like us to put on masks, too, or...? Me: That'd be great, thanks. I have only a trained researcher's understanding of Covid and other viruses, and you could not pay me to work unmasked in healthcare from September to April, jfc.

If there is a more perfect sound than cousins laughing in the dark on a crisp autumn night, I don't need to hear it. My only brother brought his family for a visit this weekend after 10 years of absence/estrangment, showed my nieces our hometown, and started mending some fences. It's a start. ❤️

Parent: I demand X! Me: We cannot do X because of my disability and my kid's. Parent: I demand we do X closer to your house! Me: If we do X [this way], two of us can *try* to join you. Parent: We will not do X [that way]. Me: Okay. Have fun. 🤷‍♀️ This really doesn't have to be so hard, istfg.

On the one hand, being a Very Part-Time church secretary was never on my career radar. On the other, no other job has had the kind of acoustics—or colleagues—that support my habit of randomly belting "Ave Verum Corpus" and Alanis Morissette tunes. So. 🤷‍♀️

FDA (20 years ago): This milk has been sourced from a meticulously inspected dairy farm, and has been through a certified pasteurization process. FDA (today): Look, it's liquid, and it's from a cow. At least that's what they tell us. It's fine, probably.

n 19th-century Paris, walking with a cane was a symbol of the dandyish flâneur, strolling elegantly around the city with an ironically arched eyebrow. In 21st-century Britain, canes are the unironic preserve of
vulnerable looking girls.
Sometimes you see groups of them, each leaning on a walking stick as they edge gingerly along. Startlingly fresh-faced users have been visible at Pride parades for a while, and there are growing numbers on university campuses.

Biggest problem with modern Looney Tunes, even COYOTE VS ACME (which I like) is that Bugs Bunny has been sanded down into a mascot. You watch him in the 40s or 50s and he's a freaky lil dress-up pervert who is down for anything. Assigned diva at birth. Nowadays, he's just a regular guy. Not my Bugs.

This is shameful discriminatory and misogynistic reporting. People aren’t choosing disability to be “cool”. Young women don’t have to “prove” to you that they’re sick. Disability rates are skyrocketing because we’ve left a disabling virus rip through the population for over 6 years.
