This puts unrealistic pressure on the rest of us to be doing something arty when the prize committee calls. I can't be "doing the laundry" or "picking my nose".

A reminder as fall approaches (in the northern hemisphere) that leaf blowers (particularly gas-powered ones) are not only extremely noisy and polluting but also harm the habitats of many animal species and remove leaves that help protect plant roots and keep the soil healthy. Leave Leaves Alone!

A color graphic topped with the words "THESE ANIMALS ARE MADE POSSIBLE BY FALLEN LEAVES" and showing at center a color close-up photograph of a person's finger, on which is perched a tiny frog. Additional surrounding photographs show a small Ring Neck snake in someone's hand, an American Bumble Bee on a purple flower, a large green Luna Moth, a small brown and yellow Spotted Salamander, and a Fritillary or Checkerspot butterfly on a cone flower.

Text at the bottom reads, "LEAVE LEAVES ALONE. Don't blow! Leave the leaves in your planting beds and mow-mulch your leaves into the lawn. Use an electric blower if you must. www.healthyyards.org.

Skydance now owns Nick, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Comedy Central, and MTV, effectively ending US TV animation as we know it. Countless jobs will be lost, and fewer new shows will be created. An apocalyptic scenario for cartoons, yet it's maybe the 5th-worst thing about the Paramount-WB merger!

(But i have to acknowledge that a many of us had to do a lot of hard emotional work to uproot that shit from our psyches—it’s not as easy as “don’t look at magazines. So love and light to the people still early on this journey).

Anyway I’m sorry to report that once again the most annoying feminist at your undergraduate liberal arts college was right about this all along. Any beauty standard that requires women to take up less space is a tool of the patriarchy.

Principle one is that none of these fuckers should ever be assuming weight loss is a default universal goal. Principle two is that we have literally let a bunch of pedophiles dictate the beauty standard, which. Gross!!!

Jennifer—em Dash—Graham @jgriffingraham.bsky.social · 06/10/2026

I have started blocking, unfollowing, and generally yeeting from my life any brand (health, wellness, beauty, whatever) that wants to invoke weight loss as any kind of selling point. Honestly I should’ve done this for self-care years ago, but now it’s on principle. Fuck this bullshit.

Today one of my podcasts had a regional Paxton ad that was 100% a fictionalized case in which he stepped in and halted child trafficking. Like, made up entirely, spouted as if fact. No one can prevent him from doing this.

This is some damning stuff on Ken Paxton, especially in the wake of the Cornell situation. These high school athletes raped their teammates and weren't punished at all.

"In 2017, police arrested 13 varsity athletes at La Vernia High, in a case in which at least 10 individuals were allegedly raped and sodomized. The arrests were connected to a hazing ritual in which varsity athletes across multiple sports were accused of sodomizing their younger teammates with instruments including baseball bats and carbon dioxide tanks, KSAT-TV reports.

The Texas Attorney General’s Office took charge of criminal prosecutions in the case to avoid conflicts of interest and to ensure absolute impartiality, according to media reports.

In one instance, three basketball players were accused of holding down a 15-year-old boy while one of the alleged perpetrators raped him with a flashlight. In another case, three upperclassmen allegedly forced a 15-year-old student onto a locker room floor and raped him using a Gatorade bottle, KSAT reports, citing court documents.

Paxton’s office offered plea deals to ten of the accused. Under those deals, all would avoid jail time and were eligible to have the charges expunged from their records, court records showed, according to records obtained by the Current.

Nine of the defendants accepted their plea deal and avoided jail time, court records obtained by the Current indicate."

Anyway, yes, I agree with others that the “social contagion” is actually just awareness, and the number of people searching out new identities fucking rules. It means fewer of us will be suffering pain on top of pain on top of pain.

If I had seen more evidence that the spectrum was rich and beautiful? If I had known I could try out “they/them” pronouns if the other pronouns ever got to heavy for me? I would have saved myself so much pain and energy.

I’m cis, and as an adult have become confidently femme-leaning, but as a teenager I had really painful gender and sexuality things going on. Without going into specifics, I felt like I wasn’t allowed to be femme. For a long time I warred bitterly with my own body and mind.

Jennifer—em Dash—Graham @jgriffingraham.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

I’m the kind of person (queer, arty, neurodivergent, traumatized, and theatrical) that might have been “infected” by a such social contagion if I’d been born 10-15 years later. I could see myself exploring NB identity if I HAD EVEN KNOWN THAT WAS A THING THAT WAS POSSIBLE.

Jennifer—em Dash—Graham @jgriffingraham.bsky.social · 28/09/2026

Let’s even indulge the thought that there is a social contagion aspect to gender. My response to that is who fucking cares.

The "social contagion" thing drives me screaming angry. When I was young I had no clue trans ppl existed. I'd never met anyone trans. I saw cruel caricatures in pop culture occasionally. When I realized trans was a thing someone could be, it hit like a lightning bolt. My life felt newly possible.
