Holding you close
Like most parents in the United States today, I am wanting to hold my kids close and never let go.

This morning while my older kiddo was getting ready for school, I saw that this book was arriving today. . . So I talked to her about how she didn’t need to panic if she sees it, that it is for my school project. And while that’s true . . . My project is an autoethnography. And I hate this.
Front of the book “How to Move Abroad and Why It’s the Best Thing You’ll Do”

Yesterday in the middle of class, I rushed to grab the baked potato from the air fryer and I dropped an entire glass container of my favorite cheesy sauce. Whole thing shatters. And I am devastated I have no more cheesy sauce (not to mention my IKEA container — we don’t have IKEA here)

Had a moment of shame tonight for this ordained pastor who has worked for a synagogue . . . Daughter was asking about stories in Judges, and I connected (for the first time) that Jael and Yael are the same name. So many people—and their parents—just revealed their depth of awesomeness & badassery

When I was in college, I dealt with abdominal pain that grew into dizziness and memory loss. For over 6 months, I was sent to every manner of specialist for testing. Eventually I was diagnosed with anxiety. I learned tips and tricks to help deal . . . that pain is back today

So it turns out choosing the present day as a doctoral thesis project is expensive. My bookshop wishlist (for THIS round) is roughly $170 -- since most of the books are recently published, buying used isn't an option.

Jennifer Harris Dault (she/they) @jennintheattic.bsky.social · 17/03/2025
Are there any books yet on trans people/families fleeing? Or any (recent) great books on politics relating to trans folks? (I know there are tons of great articles -- looking for a few more full-length books for my doctoral project)

The constitutional crisis is here and people don't care because it only affects incarcerated trans women so far. This is many things. One of those things is an absolute condemnation of the Evangelical Church to whom Christ will say on that day "Depart from me; I never knew you".

Y’all. The thing giving me life today was that I made a LEGO cake for my daughter’s birthday party tomorrow. It looked like it was baked by a 10yo, but my soon-to-be thought it was great. Then I tried to move it onto a new cake board.

Please do not read this if suicide is a major trigger. … It has just been reported that a transgender person committed suicide today wrapped in a transgender flag in Syracuse at the VA. These attacks are killing us. This must stop.

My 7-year-old just asked me who the first president was and then gasped when I answered correctly. The question is -- does she believe this to be highly specialized knowledge, or does she simply think I don't know much?

@schumer.senate.gov @sengillibrand.bsky.social -- both of you decided today that throwing transgender kids under the bus is acceptable. Your job is to *protect* your constituents, not remove their access to life-saving healthcare. NYers will remember this. Do better.

A word to trans allies and particularly to progressive type Christian allies. Please recognize that Charissa is describing a real and well founded fear on the part of trans folx here. If you're committed to keep standing with trans people as it gets hard please gather 'round for some thoughts. 1/
