Now I have to decide on a new project, I’ve been working on this one so long.

I finally finished my witch wall hanging, inspired by Agatha All Along. I started in back in November, hoping it would help give me something to focus on during what I correctly anticipated being a difficult winter. I love how it all came together. #handembroidery

violent attacks on Jews in the US don't help Palestinians. authoritarian harassment and terrorizing of Palestinians in the US doesn't help Jews. both of these help only fascists, who want to kill us all.

Pride is a party and a riot. You don't get to celebrate if you're not willing to fight, and this year, it's time to fight.

Happy Pride!🏳️‍🌈

I’m not into yucking other people’s yums, but you better believe I am going to be insufferable about the HBO Harry Potter show. There is no excuse what so ever for supporting anything JKR makes royalties from.

Last day to comment! Fund SEPTA!

I sure fucking do. I’m immune compromised because I caught Covid once and now have an autoimmune. I also work for a university, I get every vaccine I can, students are sick all the time.

My doctor changed my diagnosis to "Endocrine Disorder" in November without me asking--because he saw the writing on the wall. Ask your doctors to do the same--Just to protect your access to life-saving medication.

Hey Philadelphia folks! We have until 5/28 to contact the city to comment on proposed SEPTA cuts.. This link will take you to a page with options for contacting the city for comment including phone and email. wwww.septa.org/fundingcrisi...

There is a false dichotomy drawn between "the ivory tower" and "the real world," and I'm here to report that in a post-industrial society, your real-world economy absolutely hinges on the university. University towns are factory towns. Universities drive economic activity, not the other way around.

Attorney General Pam Bondi sold $1 million to $5 million worth of shares in President Trump’s media company last month on the same day that he announced expansive tariffs that led to a stock market rout, according to disclosure filings.

a long time ago @redloribrighteyes.bsky.social sent me a set of handmade paints from her shop, @scarletnymph.bsky.social and here is what i did with them. i absolutely love working with these and you will too. link to the paints in the next post. Sconce #1 by me, space junk

If you need me I’ll be disassociating to Eurovision for the rest of the week.

I have painstakingly recreated the dog photo using Lego.

I think I’m really close to being done with this one. I started this in November with the intent of a project that would help get me through a difficult winter. I had paused work in mid March due to tendinitis in my thumb and finally feel able to work on it again. #handembroiderywork

"When citizens must think twice about criticizing or opposing the government because they could credibly face government retribution, they no longer live in a full democracy. By that measure, America has crossed the line into competitive authoritarianism" www.nytimes.com/2025/05/08/o...

Speaking of this little family, here's a more accurate portrayal of Mother's Day: 🪶

All sarcasm aside, if you have a friend who is a faculty member, check on them. After years and years of having our pedagogy dismissed as useless, we’ve been rewarded with the Hellscape that is AI. If you are a struggling faculty member, take a beat and breathe. There’s no overnight solution. 1/

The Cass Review gets peer reviewed and absolutely shredded Cass is the Wakefield of our time. A scandal in broad daylight

I once advised a grad student who got a good offer to go to another school and felt a little bad because my school had been good to him. I noted that every institution is nice to you because it finds you useful, not because it cares about you. You owe them nothing.

Ok this is pretty cool. Teen Vogue just published an excerpt from my Copaganda book today! www.teenvogue.com/story/copaga...

Germany’s “Naturschutzeule”, the owl that designates nature reserves and protected areas got a new design, and she is not having any more of your bullshit.

DR. CARLA HAYDEN WAS THE FIRST *QUALIFIED* PERSON TO BE HIRED AS THE LIBRARIAN OF CONGRESS, BTW

A timely quote from Dr. Carla Hayden: “Libraries are a cornerstone of democracy—where information is free and equally available to everyone. People tend to take that for granted, and they don’t realize what is at stake when that is put at risk.”

me: I'm done with the pope posts conservatives: we are having the worst day of our lives, woke marxist pope will give your kids gun control & health care in their sleep me: I would like a few more pope posts

I think a part of me just gets excited about any news lately that isn’t actively just awful and bonus points that the Right seems pretty upset about it.

I'M GONNA KEEP ON DANCIN AT THE

"It's just good theatre" is a phrase that honestly applies to a LOT of Catholic rituals. Which of course makes sense since modern western theatre basically grew out of liturgical drama, but I digress.
