Nougat found out he can push open the sliding closet doors and bring out whatever yarn he wants. He's having the very best day as a result 😹

Look at the lovely sunflowers my partner met me with at the airport yesterday. I thought it was funny, because I met him without Huckleberry chocolate from Seatttle. Between the two of us, we covered the flowers and the chocolate 😁

The last of this season's planting plugs came today, all native plants (Woods Rose, Rabbitbrush, Saltbrush, Sumac, etc). I repotted them temporarily and watered them. My husband will plant them this weekend. I'll be in Seattle for Antioch's fall Sex Therapy residency weekend 🙂

But we still have a kiddo who was in advanced math and science in middle school and came into freshman year with high school credits, was failed on accommodations & so failed & had very low grades freshman year because of it, and has likely had his college options permanently impacted as a result.

Corroborated audio & language processing disorders the school eval denied (no surprise, long story but background is kiddo was born not hearing, developed hearing by 6 months but continued complications). Corroborated ADHD, dyslexia, dysgraphia, and suggested an additional evaluation for autism.

Dr. Kalen Zeiger (they/he) @kalenzeiger.com · 24/09/2026

Got the results from the external evaluation after last year having to hire an attorney because the school kept failing to give my kiddo his 504 and then EIP accomodations, and then failed to give access over summer to make up a class he failed because he didn't have access to his accomodations.

I truly, deeply, sincerely do think the guy flipping burgers at McDonalds should be able to afford rent, bills, and groceries with his paycheck alone. That's kind of the whole point of having a job and I can't believe this is considered a radical position.🤷🏽‍♀️

No rice for me (allergic/intolerant), but I did keep some toast down once the fruit stayed down last night. Still feel awful today and some retching, but hopefully it gets better.

My partner brought me home some strawberries, bananas, and ginger chews. I haven't been able to keep anything at home down yet, but I'm hoping these might stay down.

Was thinking, I've been hungry more often the last few days (even very shortly after eating), but since I can't tell the difference between stomach hurt=upset and stomach hurt=hungry (autistic), I've maybe been feeling sick for a few days and didn't realize til I started vomiting. But Cookie knew.

The worst part is that the nearly same thing happened almost exactly 3 weeks ago. So I am legitimately wondering if I just got unlucky with similar viruses a few weeks apart, or if there is something else going on 😒 Anyways, happy #caturday

That moment when your cat has been weirdly cuddly the last few days, then you wake up vomiting and now have to wonder if it was just because she knew you are sick or because she knew you are dying. And it kind of feels like the latter 🙃

They turned out so well, and end of October/early November is the perfect time of year for kiddos to dump them out in a little plot of dirt for winter stratification and seeing what grows bloom in the spring 🌱

I also have a bunch (~1k) of tropical milkweed seeds I'm not packaging up, since they will cause problems for monarchs in places with seasons. If you want them, let me know and I'm happy to mail them someone who lives in the south.

I put together some Halloween themed milkweed seed packets for trick or treaters this year. We'll have candy and other non food stuff too, but thought this would be fun also.

A variety of Halloween themed seed packets are strewn across a table. Labels say Milkweed Seeds, Do Not Eat, and 15 Common, Showy, Pink Swamp, White Swamp, and Butterfly. The backs say Plant these seeds now and you can grow monster-sized monarch caterpillars that will turn into monarch butterflies.

Corporations spend more than $1.5 billion a year on union-busting. That’s $1.5 billion they could have spent on higher wages, better benefits, and improving workplace safety. Remember: if they weren’t so scared of worker power, they wouldn’t fight so hard against unions.

People are exhausting. All I said was, "Hi. I'm Kalen. If you are queer or have queer family, partners, or kids, I provide affirming and trauma-informed mental health to people like you who are often navigating confusing and less than accepting social & care-scenarios. Please reach out."

so infuriating that trans people worked for decades to get covered by anti-discrimination protections in blue states but when major medical institutions in blue states categorically refuse to give us medical care they freely offer to cis people, blue state AGs just refuse to enforce said statutes

Girls sports are for girls, and trans girls are girls. I'm so tired of this, and sometimes wonder how so many folks don't get tired of constantly punching down when they could be making things better fir everyone instead.

This isn’t about being scientifically correct. It's about presenting a veneer of scientificity to legitimise a process of securitisation: constructing trans people and those who support them as a security threat, thereby legitimising exceptional measures and laws (terrorism) bsky.app/profile/kale...

Yes, the conclusion that these measures and results represent a breach of ethics. Who's talking about case studies? You seem confused.

Dr. Kalen Zeiger (they/he) @kalenzeiger.com · 31/08/2026

Unironically and very literally, these are the types of measures and results we use in measurement and statistics courses to teach about breaches of ethics and what researchers should not do.

Love a direct, to the point queen. Say it plainly and leave no space for bad-faith bullshit.

Asked why the WNBA continues to experience these heightened distractions, Cloud said, "Men."
"The men now that are like 'Oh, we need to protect the WNBA,’ y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't be paid," Cloud continued. "Y'all were the same ones saying we shouldn't have been invested in, saying we're a joke, the same ones that don't respect Black women. So, if you're going to protect women, that means all women. That includes Black women, trans women and the list goes on."

At a time when other universities were firing trans folks and failing all of their minority populations, Antioch felt like a safe place to work, teach, and do research. It is very disheartening to see it threatened at a time when so few higher education institutes are safe for marginalized folks.

I chose to work at Antioch because I believe in its mission and the kind of institution it strives to be. I'm upset to see this happening to a university community I care about. “This is nothing less than an attempted hostile takeover of Antioch University.” #IStandWithAntioch forward.antioch.edu

We’re going to hear about how everyone loved Dolly, and that feels true. But it’s good to remember, and to her credit, that she was attacked for her AIDS activism, her vaccine advocacy, her LGBTQ+ support and even, more recently, for her reading initiatives. She ALWAYS stood firm when it mattered.
