On a certayne kynde of darke nighte yn Januarye, the past doth seeme so close. All of the thinges that hurt, and all of the thinges that were delightful. The smyles on the faces of friendes. Those tymes, irrevocable. Ich hope everichon Ich knewe ys doinge okaye, and Ich mourne those who are gone.

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

An intended effect of patriarchy is that as a grown ass woman, I struggle to see when requests are unreasonable. I've been trained to just do as I'm asked without much thought, and I have a deep longing to be helpful.
But afterwards I'm often like, wtf? Why did I do that?

Living in Colorado and my son just lost gender affirming care. @rmequalityaf.bsky.social is going to be in touch with support soon. So sick of this shit in a state that's supposed to protect my rights, in a country supposedly built on freedom.

My 15 year old son is like 2 years into the obsession. He has now written a historical fanfic (Ham/Laurens) and sewed his own Laurens costume out of mostly sheets.

Remember: It ys okaye to be lonely. It ys okaye to feel lost. It ys okaye to be sad. It ys okaye to have no plannes or just small plannes. It ys okaye to have big plannes that seem exhausting. It ys okaye to be a mess. Take care of thyself. Thou art amazinge.

There’s a Literacy Crisis. One Classroom Solution Should Be Obvious. You can't get better at reading until you care about a text.

"We need whole textsβ€”novels, plays, or poemsβ€”to care about literature. Teachers are doomed to fail to inspire most students if they must teach deracinated skills for how to decode isolated excerpts..."

I know antifa isn't a real organization because I don't get 40 texts a week from them asking for donations.

Children’s Authors on the Real-World Cost of Book Banning Authors discuss how having their work targeted by censors has directly affected their livelihood and their well-being.

Just a reminder that Banned Books Week isn’t about selling more copies of 1984. It’s about keeping authors and teachers and librarians safe and making sure all of us have the freedom to read widely. www.publishersweekly.com/pw/by-topic/...

Photo of Hayley Mills, film actor, with her cropped blonde hair, Pearl earrings, looking sideways at the camera. She's wearing a white sleeveless shirt, a pearl necklace, and a plaid skirt.

Being a late in life bi means figuring out a lot about yourself in retrospect.
Last night's revelation: my near obsessive interest in Hayley Mills as a young person may not have been entirely platonic.

Blue cities should tear up the roads in front of ICE facilities and then start decades of community engagement and input sessions to rebuild them. Let's harness our core competencies.

Worrye not about 'being productive,' for thou art not a product. Thou art a star daunsinge yn a hopeful skye. A signal blinking across centuryes and worldes. Thou art a song performid just once and perfectlye.
