Drawing of Little My, a small girl in a red dress, sliding down a hill. She is drawn by Tove Jansson from the Moomin series. The text reads: "WHEN you're angry, then you're angry," thought Little My, peeling her potato with her teeth. "Sometimes you have to be angry. Every little creature has the right to get angry."

you have a right to be angry

May be there are only two genders; being yourself and not being yourself.

A photo of me holding a copy of my textbook. The title is How to Create a Language: The Conlang Guide.

I received copies of my book, How to Create a Language, and couldn’t be happier! Thank you to the team at Cambridge University Press who made this dream a reality, and thank you to all my beautiful supporters! Especially thank you to @dedalvs.bsky.social for always encouraging me! #conlang

Scan of a typed letter from 1970, from Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, addressed to "Joel Lipton, 622 N. Foothill Road, Beverly Hills, Calif. 90210" It reads: "Dear Joel: I think it is more difficult these days to define what makes a good citizen than it has ever been before. Certainly all any of us can do is follow our own conscience and retain faith in our democracy. Sometimes it is the very people who cry out the loudest in favor of getting back to what they call "American Virtues" who lack this faith in our country. I believe that our greatest strength lies always in the protection of our smallest minorities. Sincerely yours, Charles M. Schulz" At bottom is an illustration of Charlie Brown and Snoopy, a kite wrapped around the dog house.

Written 55 years ago, Schulz's heartfelt clarity cuts through the noise, even today.

This is what everyone needs.

That, and universal healthcare, housing, and education.

But this is a great start.

How a secret recording of a gender identity lecture upended Texas A&M Officials have struggled to detail the exact reasons for the A&M professor’s termination, citing a technical issue with her course description. Faculty say the move was politically motivated.

This is an absolutely terrific piece from @texastribune.org and reinforces my belief that the best coverage of right-wing cancelations occur at the local level, after years of the national media focusing on threats from the left.
