they say living well is the best revenge and that's true, but if we're all being honest seeing bad things happen to people you hate is also pretty high up on the list

I spend at least 5-10 minutes before every class simply logging into multiple systems (uni, canvas, zoom, google drive, etc.) on the classroom computer that all use the same log-in system but refuse to talk to each other.

PLEASE ask me for my article! It's always a thrill to know that someone wants to read it, and I hate that knowledge is gatekept like this. Not only do we not get paid if you pay the fee, but we have to pay the journal thousands of dollars for the "privilege" of making it open-access (not paywalled)

The biggest lie the James Bond films sold wasn’t any of the stuff about hot spies, magic cars or poorly made cocktails, it’s that there was a government organisation willing to drown insane billionaires in a vat of radioactive coolant for the betterment of humanity.

Humaning.

A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a Northern Cardinal and American Goldfinch perch above a busy crowd in a city, looking down. The cardinal says "It's a nice day to go humaning." The goldfinch says "Just look at them. Majestic." In panel 2, a close-up of the two birds. The cardinal says "Nobody tells you that you'll reach a certain age and suddenly get into humaning. I hit 3 years old, and then bam."The birds are looking out over the crowd scene. In panel 3, the cardinal says "Their calls sound funny to us, but each one has a unique meaning." Below, people are saying various things: "I'm tired." "Where's my phone?" "I'd murder a burrito." In panel 4, the birds look down excitedly at a man walking by. The cardinal says "Wait, is that a guy who got dressed in the dark and put his shirt on inside out and backwards?" And the goldfinch exclaims, "Holy... that's a lifer!"

My cis colleagues are often shocked when I tell them that I can't go to a work conference because it's held in a state that is dangerous for me to travel to. Or that I'm not updating my passport because I'm afraid it will be confiscated. Or that I'm now a liability for grant funding applications. Or

In my experience, the vast majority of cis allies think we have more rights than we do. People are shocked when I say things like "actually, you can't change your gender marker here anymore" and "no, it's perfectly legal to fire me for being trans"

ok I had to force down a tear with this one reskeeting with alt text

Image of a page in a book with text reading as follows

THIS BOOK IS DEDICATED TO:

Dr. John Sharpe of London, who in 1957. a decade before physicians in England could legally perform an abortion for any reason other than the health of the woman, took the considerable risk of referring for an abortion a twenty-two-year-old American on her way to India.

Knowing only that she had broken an engagement at home to seek an unknown fate, he said, "You must promise me two things. First, you will not tell anyone my name. Second, you will do what you want to do with your life."

Dear Dr. Sharpe, I believe you, who knew the law was unjust, would not mind if I say this so long after your death:

I've done the best I could with my life.

This book is for you.

CPTSD & DID aren't just "in your head." There are biological patterns, including hormonal spikes & dips (regardless of gender, by the way) that heavily impact how we process-- or don't-- past trauma. Recovery often involves learning more about our physical body than we ever knew.

I appreciate that Dolly Parton refused to participate in "dress respectability" and, by her own account, modeled her aesthetic after a town "tramp," who she thought was beautiful. She separated aesthetics from character and understood "classiness" to be about how you treat people, not how you dress.
