Trans people, I see you. You’re strong. You know who you are, and that scares weak people.

One of my greatest points of professional pride is that I earned my MPH at the same university where Jonas Salk developed the polio vaccine. #hailtopitt

My favorite part of the super bowl is saying “it’s baseball season” when it's over.

Remembering the long ago Super Bowl Sunday when my sister and I ignored the game and went to the Hill Top Steakhouse on Rte. 1 in Saugus

It's hard to know what to say or whether it's even worth adding to the doom - what I will say is buy your trans friends' weird zine, their album, their art game - buy them a beer or a soda or a meal - give them some ko-fi money for doing absolutely nothing. We gotta protect trans kids and adults.

This is a sewing pattern. It is also a page from a late 14th century manuscript that is one of two primary sources for an important Icelandic saga (Sturlunga saga), but that was probably not important to the 17th century person who really needed a sewing pattern. #upcycling

"Was Bishop Mariann Budde right to call for the protection of migrants and LGBTQ kids at the National Prayer Service?" Yes, she's allowed to talk about Christ's teachings at a church service. Next question.

These executive orders on banning federally funded entities from recognizing trans people or disallowing them from using the bathroom are not self-executing or immediately enforceable. They require formal rule making at a minimum. They are a scare tactic. Ignore and do not comply in advance.

I am so impressed with the shawls in this week's #showmeyourknits. I stick to the easier patterns. This one is Curvy Moon, on Ravelry.
