Yesterday an Official-Type Person challenged my relationship with my (adopted) mom, for whom I provide care. The purpose was to safeguard her, which I understand and respect, but it was nonetheless terrifying and gave me nightmares. There’s gotta be a better way.

Whoever arranged for my elderly mom to move, my kid to have surgery, and for me to have a major research deliverable all in the same month should 100% be fired from all decisionmaking. *glares at mirror while hyperventilating*

Seeing a lot of coverage about the closure of Boulder Abortion Clinic. I’m grateful for the abortion I received there 9 yrs ago. But I wish the stories included that there are great all tri clinics with competent providers (who are younger and most of them women) where people receive excellent care.

Is your food budget stretched thin? Consider making a quick sauce with garlic, anchovies, and crushed tomatoes, simmered down for 15 minutes, and then adding a pound of oligarch.

“Dr. Kamran Khan: This is a threat that is very significant and very real. And I recognize also this is a moment where it's easy to sound like an alarmist. What I'm here to tell you is this is a very serious threat to humanity & the longer we let this persist, the greater the risks are going to be”

We had a new Haggadah last night and it was SO BAD, y’all. It messed up Dayenu. I’m not okay. May need to schedule a separate family singalong later.

I was lucky to find trans-femme aunties who took me under their wings when I was a young queer cis-girl. They were my support network during some really hard years. I knew they would be there for me, and I will always be there for them and for all of the other awesome trans folks in my life.

Y’all, it is just a wild moment to be a new PhD queer Jewish mom of trans/neurodivergent kids who works in sexual/reproductive health, studies history, and cares for an elder, let me tell you.

Every thing you do, no matter how small, to remind people that the wannabe dictators are actually sad, scared, fallible little boys is helpful. The more we laugh at them, the less fearsome they are and the easier it is to wrest power back from them. Also? These messages are effing hilarious.

I am 1 million percent opposed to the bullshit weaponization of antisemitism by this administration AND angry that my kids encounter antisemitism in their high school bathroom.

Just my kid texting me from a bathroom stall to report the horrifically antisemitic conversation he’s overhearing. This is fine.

It’s a heist movie but just with a bunch of humanities scholars trying to get their grant money back.

“The termination of your grant represents an urgent priority for this administration” My NEH grant has been terminated Incredible when the funding for your book about the educational culture wars is cut as a result of the educational culture wars You can’t say history isn’t relevant
