I'm going to assume and assure myself that all of my weird moles must be nonaggressive, or else I would have been way sick ages ago. That's how skin cancer probability works, right? Dermatologist is booked til my birthday in 7 months, and this is after I had to cancel last week.

I'm so burned out that my brain rationalized me getting into the wrong car as, "that is totally from the taxi company! They've used non-white cars before!" It was a couple's Uber. We returned and I profusely apologized to the couple. Thank you, Yousef, for your good hearted humor over that.

Giving people criminal records for jumping turnstiles is the oppressive part. Same goes for criminalizing houselessness.

Writers: Challenge the agreement/contract that your publishers present you with. They'll start off saying this is our contract, take it or leave it, but it's negotiable. Every contract is. 'Boilerplate' means this is where you start, not where you finish. And learn what 'subsidiary rights' means.

A woman behind me at the counter of a restaurant at the airport straight up hit me with “Are you waiting to be sat or are you just standing there looking cute?” Reader, no one has complimented me like that since Bush was in office, so if anyone needs me I’ll just be thinking about this for 3 years.

Hey Minnesota: We should maybe talk to our neighbors about this, specifically.
Very unfun fact: Project 2025 specifically names Minnesota's Boundary Waters Canoe Area and wants to remove its protected status and open it up to mining. This is the future Donald John Trump wants.

Hot take: I'm truly not interested in hand wringing over how much people will miss enjoying the books of men who have turned out to be abusers. I'm far more concerned about the missing art that women haven't been able to create/publish because they crossed paths with such men.

My mother had an uncopyright-ed copy of Frankenstein and Dracula as a single book. This really makes me wish I knew which version my sister has.
7. in the 1832 version, Shelley incorporated conservative views and had clearly read the criticism. It could now be read as an 'improving' book. You'll find editions of 1831, 1832, 1839, 1849, but they're all the same edition and they are the result of Bentley's copyright shenanigans.  7/?

I don't love Biden. I really don't. But it is just fucking ridiculous to have weathered YEARS of people telling me to stop criticizing him because it will suppress the vote, only to have people with way more power than me do *this.*

I usually read it with that part implied

Updating your profile pic to this in 2024 makes me want to write an essay.

Isn't it interesting that they're trying to frame themselves as initiating *that* war instead of the Civil War? Wannabe Confederates still don't like being called what they are. Probably because it reminds them they lost the first time.

apropos of uhhhhhhh everything, reposting this again
As well-meaning publishers try to navigate the coming storm of state laws against diversity, I hope they'll consider Timothy Snyder's Rule #1 (from his slim book ON TYRANNY).

Things are going very well when we've reached the "Don't worry, the military won't obey orders to kill civilians" stage of democratic backsliding. It's the sweet spot, where good things happen. Right where we want to be.

🚨 Important new article on gender self-determination as a medical right in CMAJ! I argue that people have a right to gender-affirming care and that many common barriers aren’t justified by evidence. Trans health needs to centre human rights more! 🏳️‍⚧️
