OMG cannot imagine how picture-book-ready this library is when a little kid comes out the front door carrying a stack of books too high to see over that they got to take FOR FREE 🥹

I feel really lucky to have had a childhood that featured barn swallows pretty prominently. They’re such wonderful creature 😍

If these cats I’m sitting—one of whom I have already sat for!—do not come out from under the bed they should know I’m ready to bring out the big guns and MAKE THEM LOVE ME

Best night in my recent memory: we had our neighbor over for dinner and he admired the rock I’d brought my partner as a gift from a recent trip. We were like, yeah we love rocks, and he RAN back down the hall to get some of HIS rocks to show us. Dinner was an hour late, we had rocks to admire

Ooh I hope you like it. I’ve read it twice and found it engrossing and very moving!

Women don’t need men to protect them. Women need men to stop protecting each other.

Sadly, no. The more anti-vaxxers there are, the more people there are who can put immune-compromised people and infants at risk of succumbing to vaccine-preventable diseases. That’s why vaccine denialism is NOT a “my body, my choice” issue—it’s a public health crisis.

OK good to know I’m just going to assume he’s a rapist too, until proven otherwise. It’s the only way to be sure

Clothes with pockets Cars with knobs Jobs with benefits Life with dignity That’s literally all we’re asking for

Me in the streets at the next protest: What do we want? Crowd: Clothes with pockets! Cars with knobs! Me: When do we want it? Crowd: We have always wanted it!

How much clearer can we make it? We want CLOTHES with POCKETS and CARS with KNOBS.

Apropos of Regency-era laundry, allow me to recommend the truly excellent novel LONGBOURN by Jo Baker, which tells Pride & Prejudice from the POV of the woman who had to clean all those petticoats that were six inches deep in mud. It’s SUCH a good read!

Did you spell “rapist” wrong or is he just both? I’m guessing both but I don’t want his name in my search history

So awesome! 🙌🏼 Despite living in LA for almost 20 years, that was the only time I ever went to Dodger Stadium

The placement of the beaded floral motifs is interestin—I wonder if they were added later to hide stains or tears?

Mine was at Dodger Stadium. I was one in a convoy of thousands of cars meandering in orderly fashion through acres of emptied-out parking lot, guided at every turn by a cheerful volunteer. The ambient elation surpassed a World Series win.

I dog sat for two German Shepherds in July. EVERY walk, multiple strangers would say “handsome dog” or “wow, great-looking dogs” and by the end of the first week of this I started feeling like, “Well what I am I, chopped liver?”

How about “alienation of affection,” though, I feel like that’s been perennially popular

I’m sorry for your loss. I remember making my mom some chicken salad a couple of days after my dad died and feeling so happy when she fetched herself seconds. Her hunger seemed to surprise her but it was the first thing that made me feel like she was going to be OK.

Faculty seem to have a unique and strange ability to stop seeing students as fully human, or themselves as less than superhuman, in my experience. I don’t ever regret choosing to leave that path.

I was told that once and it pretty much radicalized me

Not to mention of fashion? Like there’s no such thing as entirely machine-made clothes. It’s like saying romance writers and sweatshop workers (oh, hey, who are predominantly women!) are lesser creators than literary fiction writers and tailors (oh, hey, who happen to mostly be male! Still!)

Adults of any age should have this talk with one another too. I recently learned my ex-husband (55M) was dating an undergrad (22?F) and had stopped talking to his former best friend because the friend told him dating a teenager wasn’t cool. Men of all ages need to be held accountable.

I’m printing these out and putting a bunch of them up in all the men’s bathrooms on the college campus where I work.

“Fun is only fun if everyone is having fun” is SUCH a word. I feel like that cannot be emphasized enough. There are so many people who seem convinced that if they’re having fun, that’s all that matters. And that “But I was having fun” is an excuse.

My great-grandparents on my mom’s side spoke Swedish and (English) accented English. The memories of being new to this country have not been forgotten in my family yet. No one is illegal on stolen land!

I love every author who has ever made me feel this way. Can’t stop turning the pages, but don’t want the book to end. 🙏🏼
