Encyclopedia and dictionary accounts are my internet safe space

I mean, if you’re gonna do an April fools this year, this is a gentle and timely way to do it. I’d buy this. Seems useful.

Trans rights are in ever-increasing danger, but we assert that transgender & genderqueer people belong—in our community, our stadium, and everywhere. Inclusion is ongoing work, & we’ll keep fighting for it. #TDOV Support orgs making a difference & find useful resources here: 107ist.org/trans-rights

“For decades women have had to fight for the right to play sport and reap all the benefits – physical, social, mental, emotional – from it. Why on earth would we want to exclude trans people, some of the most marginalised in our society, from those experiences and benefits?”

Barbra Banda made it to Times Square 🗽 Pride and Zambian teammates, Grace Chanda, and Prisca Chilufya joined Banda in NYC to see the billboards in person. As the trio said, "Zambia ku chalo! Zambia to Times Square! Zambia to the world!" 🇿🇲

Listen to Becky. Do your thing, Riveters. Hate is never welcome here.

We’ve caught bigoted propaganda put on our trans flags and removed it. Your hate is not welcome here. We will not tolerate any bigotry, anti-trans or otherwise, in our house. PROTECT THIS SPACE. If you see something please let us know. #BAONPDX

Last night’s match was extremely fun. Watching the youngsters out there running their legs off, the vets who are stepping up, and a crowd that was thoroughly hyped …. Felt like home. The world is on fire. Let’s have fun when we can. #baonpdx

This is ridiculously beautiful

I was eating pizza in the last restaurant I went to for like a year and a half. Yep.

On 3/13/2020, I was about to start tutoring at a school where I’d been subbing occasionally. I had an initial session set up with a student after school and we were planning to keep it even though they were “extending spring break” a week early and wouldn’t be back the next Monday.

Tifo looked soooooo good, though, and y’all look beautiful and sound great on the TV.

Was a little sick over the snow days. Felt all better for my birthday, yay. Woke up way worse today. Teaching was a funny joke, but my boss texted me and told me to stay home tomorrow so here we are.

On our way with chocolate birthday cake for all 🎂🎉🌹🌈

This is so freaking cool. Now do soccer!

This is just extremely fun

Home alone with the pup all week. It surprises me how hard this feels these days. I don’t expect to feel sad when I’m alone for a few evenings yet here we are. Also, I’m very ready for more hours of daylight, that makes a difference.

Starting the year down with a cold. Many things I’d rather be doing today.

F*ing awful. We are home in Oregon but were walking on this section of street two days ago. My friend lives a few blocks away. I’m so sad about everything.

Got to see Jimmy Carter speak when I was living in Minnesota during the 2004 election. He and Rosalynn were there together. They walked in through the auditorium, right by my seat. You could just feel how special they were, how the whole room knew we were in the presence of greatness.

Also I went on a swamp tour and saw alligators.

I took no pictures of the meal I ate tonight but it was a truly joyful culinary experience at Tableau in NOLA. Gulf fish almondine, blue crab fondue, gulf shrimp salad, truffled crab claws, sticky toffee pudding, French 75 with cognac. Best of all, the BFF who I rarely get to see. The best.
