You guys. I need help. Is "belonging to a pool" for the summer a thing in upstate ny? I always said no, that's a down south thing, but maybe it's just a not poor thing?

The Levy men’s eyebrows are carrying this whole thing

Too little, too late.

Less than two minutes in and I’m already bored.

My wife and I after not seeing each other all day while at work:

Elon musk isn’t elected. He’s a Nazi nepo baby who breaks everything he touches. And right now he’s locked himself in a room with grandpa’s Social Security check.

I understand that the list of spineless corporations is endless right now and it feels like we can’t boycott everything, but I say we make this hurt for Target. Join me?

Not pictured: our jam-packed cart of allthethings.

Reading is political. Reading has always been political. Your favorite characters wouldn’t just sit by and watch. They’d get up and burn some shit to the ground. #booksky

I turn 40 in a little more than a month, and this came in the mail today. This is not the “gift” I was hoping for, but yes, it’s on the to-do list.

If you’re anti -DEI, you don’t deserve my dollars.

@them.us LGBTQ youth are calling crisis hotlines in record numbers.

The gospel according to Saint Mariann

Question: Now that I don’t exist, according to the federal government, do I still need to pay taxes?

He was karate-chopping the neck of a transgender ghost. Calm down everyone.

Well, we’ve finally done it. We’ve rid the world of males. Who knew this new administration would be the turning point for the feminist agenda?!

Deadline is tomorrow! Get those applications in! Remind your friends!

Our supervillains are so embarrassing you guys

In a devastating blow to Big Daddy Bezos I have deactivated and deleted my Goodreads account. You can catch me on StoryGraph (dr_bek_orr) Zuck, your (shitty transphobic) days are numbered.

Billionaire With Literally Everything Still Unsatisfied With Life, Makes It Everyone’s Problem

I don't really use TikTok that much, but I find it fascinating that our government is on the verge of banning an app for national security reasons that are still unclear in the same week that Meta, the largest social media company, says it's now fine to hate LGBTQ people and call us mentally ill.

Many of us have been introduced to or reminded of Timothy Snyder’s On Tyranny in recent weeks. A lot of folks are sharing his first lesson, “Do Not Obey in Advance”, but it’s the advice to “Defend Institutions” that I’ve been thinking about as we watch Trump’s increasingly ridiculous cabinet picks.🧵

I just don’t understand why, as an adult, no one is giving me a personal pan size pizza everytime I read ten books. 🤔

Fellow cis women, are you as tired as I am of being used as an excuse to demonize, terrorize, and abuse trans women? They don’t actually care about us or our safety but they’ll certainly use us to vilify our trans sisters. Not in my name.

Me, to my students. And everyone.

I need my SSRIs to SSRI harder.

My angel of a wife gifted me this amazing pen that diffuses pine and cedar essential oils while you write. They can pry this small joy out of my cold, dead hands.

Reacquainting myself with ATLAS.ti for a new project, and DAMN, the future is here! Too bad the world is ending now that I’ve got some software that does what I need it to do…

Whoa! One of my favorites but u forgot it’s set in 2024. Time for a reread.
