Hi Folks! I'm sorry I've been out of touch. I've been on a social media break while dadding and writing and praying and trying to exist and be of service in this weird world. However, I've got some work coming out in dream publications and I'd love for you to check it out. (1/3)

Returned to Twitter to follow the French Open - found horrors at every turn. F-slurs, bots galore, incel tea parties, tea party incels, and my ex-boyfriend is now a pectoral influencer (!?!?!) whose nipples have gone viral. Will it just keep getting weirder til it pops? (Twitter, not the pecs)

the thing of "trans people just pushed too hard on the sports stuff" is so ahistorical that it makes me mad, when did you hear about trans sports before 2020 outside of the occasinoal human interest story on it

I'm sorry, what? In writing my first monograph, I spent six weeks trying to track down a citation in TWO languages I didn't know. And good thing too, because the citation was wrong. That's scholarship. That's research. You know, the thing we're trained to do?!?

The reactions of some researchers on Twitter finally being held responsible for not having read the very paper they submitted are... something. Mainly, they don't think they should have to check every citation or make sure the data is real and accurate. Because it's too hard, I guess.

It is such an honor to be in their company. I've been in a season of loss in life, of endings, so it's very poignant for me that this book of "endings" has found such a beautiful home. I cannot wait to share more with you in the weeks and months to come.

I’m sorry friend! Sending you so much love. I’ve turned my cracked coffee cups with pictures of my late dogs (yes I am a cringe person who puts my pets on my coffee mugs 😭) into candle holders and it’s been weirdly soothing. And by “turned” I mean I just shoved candles in them.
