Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.
, it's
and I
have some personal news to share with you.
Being a mom is one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel deeply that we should have salad tonight
This year has been challenging in many ways, and I have immense gratitude for the kindness and support of family, community, and people like you who have continued to stand by me through everything. It means the world, and I wanted you to be among the first to know that squash is in the oven and kale is in the fridge.As many of you are aware, ve been navigating one of the most challenging periods of my day while waiting for dinner.
Facing baseless federal hunger brought on by not eating since lunch, fighting for the working kids of this country, and now caring for a mean toddler and helping him grow up in a world that isn't always easy. But it has also reminded me exactly why I do this work and who I do it for.
I will never stop working to eat dinner. I will never stop fighting for what is right, even when there is also some feta in the fridge. And I will never stop being so very thankful that you are by my side in this important work and that there is tahini in the pantry for dressing
With love and gratitude,
stop to end

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
Hello Bone Colleagues, 
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

i worry that men think being A Good Guy is dramatically and heroically intervening on behalf of an endangered woman and then being publicly rewarded on a grand scale when actually being A Good Guy is just usually saying, “hey man that’s not funny” or “wow that’s fucked up” and there is no reward

Scientists heard a knock at the door. It was a pelican in need of help.
The pelican might have walked about a quarter-mile from a basin on St. Andrew Bay - where pelicans are common - to the NOAA laboratory.

In case anyone was still in any doubt that trans people have always existed, here's a delightful account of a trans man called Emanuel from 1634. The author even gets the pronouns right! [There are a few more...]
Of the changing of Sexe,

Matus Lufitanus reports that in the village Esquina, there was a maid named Maria Pateca, who at the appointed age for her courses to flow, had in stead of them a mans yard, lying before that time hid and covered, so that of a woman she became a man, and therefore laying aside her woman's habit, was clothed in mans, and changing her name, was Called Emmanuel ; who when he had got much wealth by many and great negotiations and commerce in India, returned to his country and married a wife, but Lusitanus said he did not  certainly know whether he had any children, but that he was certain he remained always beardless.

Coventry was a hotbed of bicycle manufacture, which naturally led to it becoming one of the British centres of motor vehicle manufacture as well, and in wartime also produced aircraft engines - hence the reason it was targeted in November 1940.
