My husband told our son that the tooth fairy lives in a cavity in your chest and when you lose a tooth she climbs out of your mouth to leave you money. Where does the money come from? The cavity in your chest. Where does your tooth go? Cavity in your chest.

Your friendly reminder that the existence of trans people is not novel, controversial, debatable, or generally your business. Speak up now to defend the trans people in your community, because the oppressors will hear your silence for what it is: consent.

In law school, I once wrote a paper arguing the legal viability of reinstating privateering to aid in the war on drugs. I did it as a joke. I am not enjoying the timeline where stupid jokes I made in law school become actual US policy.

If you see this, quote post with a beach photo from your gallery.

"I'm cringe but I'm free" is a catchy meme phrase and all but it's also 100% true. Life is a lot more fun when u can just openly enjoy weird shit you like without worrying so much about peer pressure or what other ppl will think. Why live ur one precious life so beholden to other ppl's opinions of u

Gross.

"Live to see them die" is one hell of a slogan

I may have gone a little bit nuts buying myself after Christmas presents from @mystgalaxybooks.bsky.social

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?

Sometimes you just reminisce about history...

You don't know anyone but natural born American citizens, full stop. And if you're white and border patrol or ICE starts asking questions, you ask to see their warrant. Don't you do nazi shit.

Now more than ever 🏳️‍⚧️

You won't be any better at fighting what's coming if you burn yourself out and spend all your time feeling bleak and hopeless, and the people telling you that it's all despair now probably don't have anyone's best interest at heart.

if you want artists to make weirder art, you have to create stable living conditions that allow them to. homogeneity isn't a matter of artists lacking culture-- there are many soulful artists out there-- it's a matter of unregulated corporate dominance combined with artists who cant afford to create

Cute magnets for a good cause (I just ordered a few). 💕

I just donated. It kind of helps to feel like I'm doing something, rather than just helplessly looking on in horror.

in celebration of Tom Holland and Zendaya’s engagement, please enjoy this moment from 2017 when she turned into a literal 😍 emoji and we all knew it was for keeps

Highly recommend Books Inc. in Palo Alto, Kepler's in Menlo Park, Mysterious Galaxy in San Diego, and Pulp Fiction Comics in Long Beach. They will also mail you books if you don't live close enough to shop in person.

Faculty listserv drama is so much more fun when it's happening at somebody else's university.

The entire last 3 weeks of my Children's Literature class is just this statement on a loop. Kids need trans and queer stories. Kids see themselves and their families in these stories. Kids learn kindness and empathy from these stories. Fuck everyone trying to withhold these stories from kids.

My favorite part of Star Wars was the scene where the Resistance leaders decide against trying to destroy the Death Star and instead kick in $1 million each for Palpatine's inauguration.

Every time we see this, we should repost it. Let's make it the anti-fascist version of the "Tom Holland Lip lip syncing to Umbrella in a corset" video: everyone must reshare every time, and no one gets annoyed.

Mystic, Connecticut. In college I had a thrifted t-shirt for Charlie's Boathouse in Mystic, CT. It sounded like a magical place.

If the Trump loving members of my family thought that I was going to accept the disrespect and disregard from them that I wouldn’t even tolerate from a stranger, they’re getting a VERY rude awakening. I wasn’t fucking kidding and I have to say I feel FREE.

Twitter is dead. I've been online since the early days. Social community move attempts usually fail, for various reasons I won't get into here. Where they succeed, is after minor exodus becomes a mass exodus. Since there's a base community established, fence sitters aren't coming to an empty house

Me: I have not taught my students anything in this course, I feel nothing but despair and guilt Also Me: Just put together a 60-slide review lecture from sections of every other lecture, except linked thematically around the exam questions. Whatever, I can go back to bed and sleep till 6.

This week my Children's lit class read LumberJanes, which means I got to re-read it. It's an awesome series about girls breaking stereotypes and kicking butt and going on summer camp adventures. I love it a little more every time I read it.
