I love that everyone’s excited about #bannedbooksweek, but please remember that there’s so much more to it than just buying or reading a banned book. Its also about people- librarians, educators, and readers- Kelly’s body of work is a starting point to understand this more.

I don’t want to sound glib, but if a woman actually wanted to “make up a crime to ruin a man’s reputation,” they’d pick one that people actually give a shit about, like hurting a dog or something.

My favorite part about having ADHD and needing meds is how freaking hard they make it to get and manage the process. The pharmacy didn't fill a prescription for some reason? Better have the executive function to follow up with your Dr, otherwise you're just going to be SOL until your next appt

it really needs to be more openly discussed that all the people advocating for “we should be fine with losing basic skills if we get more systems thinking” are men, meaning socialized to expect to be able to offload basic tasks of daily living onto a wife as part of their compensation for existing

A.I. destroys fundamental human deep curiosity and takes away the (very good for you) discomfort of failing and problem solving. This is like those trees they tried to grow in a protective bubble--they grew fast at first but the roots were shallow and weak from lack of wind stress so they died.

I finally finished it. I was folding stars for this for six months and stringing them for ten hours. There are almost a thousand stars. I am so proud of it and also my hands are now ground beef.
A trans pride flag (five stripes of pastel pink and blue) made of nearly 1000 individual origami puffy stars. Every fourth star has a floral print. At the end of each individual string of stars (there are 25, forming five stripes) hangs a plastic pearl bead and an empty vial of testosterone.
