It’s not even really revenge. It’s accountability, which feels like revenge to those who have never faced tangible consequences.

Trans men are men, and: Trans men are not responsible for systemic sexual violence. Cisgender men are. Trans men do not benefit from the rape culture that surrounds and upholds sexual violence. Cisgender men do. Specificity matters. Let us calibrate our aim correctly when saying “Yes, all men.”

Not to be all smug about it, but I didn’t even need to use the brain atrophy-inducing, environment-destroying, inaccuracy-spewing plagiarism machine, much less become addicted to it, to know it was credibility suicide and not a legitimate “research tool.”

In case any of you were wondering, the correct order of operations is 1. Apply sunscreen. 2. Wash hands thoroughly, possibly twice. 3. Then, and only then, touch face anywhere near the eye area. 4. Prosper. Love y’all. Drink some water. Unclench your jaws and un-shrimp your spines. Mwah.

I turned down Appalachian State University in Boone, NC (my home state) because 18-Year-Old Me thought high country winters were too cold and snowy. I’ve now lived in Wisconsin for a little over ten years. Every time I complain about -20F, Spouse reminds me whose idea it was to move here (mine).

I don’t know why there is a grave-shaped patch of unmelted snow on the grass by my neighbor’s garage. I don’t need to know and, for legal reasons, will not be asking her a single question about it. Whatever a woman does with the jumbo-sized tarp she keeps in her truck is her own business.

We need to redefine “national security” and what makes us safe. Making sure people are fed and housed makes us safe. Healthcare makes us safe. Renewable energy and climate solutions make us safe. Imagine if we funded these instead of bombs.

I’m sure I’m not the only parent whose kids do things just for the sake of your reaction. And if you’re wondering when they’ll outgrow it, the two who are currently kicking off the “Let’s see if we can make Mom do That Face™️” game are ages 18 and 30. As in years, not months.

Step 1: Wash thick, wavy hair at night after everyone else in your household has gone to bed. Decide to just let it air dry, to avoid noise from blow dryer/diffuser. Step 2: Put zero styling products in hair, like an absentminded fool of a Took. (Some of you already know where this is going.)

A country that allows its own children to die from violence, hunger, neglect, and abuse to preserve the comfortable lie of our superiority will never inconvenience itself enough to care about children who come from places we can’t find on a map and parents we don’t fully consider to be people.
