There is no job I’ve ever loved more than being a professor. Teaching, though just one part of this, is something I’m good at, I love, and I know matters.

But damn if a snow day cancellation doesn’t remain one of the absolute sweetest delights.

Listen, I’d love to tell y’all that I always had impeccable taste in music and that once I found punk I was just immune to pop influence, but I was a Millennial girl at the height of the 90s boyband wars.

This was such a banger. I knew every single lyric to this song.

It’s gonna be so good, y’all.

You don’t even need to attend #AWP26 to come.

Just come hear trans folks read, listen to our amazing MC be amazing, then dance to rad trans DJs.

This year’s top 5 reads.

This is one of my favorite books of the last few years! I read it for a book club, and the description made it sound way outside of my wheelhouse, but the way it was more about the relationship than any political intrigue or supernatural silliness made it my favorite read of 2023.

Proud of you, bb.

It’s time for my annual reminder that Veterans Day is an Americanization that replaced Armistice Day, an international plea for peace and hope for a world without war.

“I’m often curious what the difference is between ‘being good at it,’ and ‘pretending to be good at it’ in the context of polyamory.”

I (42F) just texted one of my partners (37NB) out of the blue to ask which Pokémon I am, despite neither of us having much cultural context for Pokémon.

Y’all are so incredibly adorable. Congrats on five years! 🖤🖤🖤

If someone calls you a Luddite for being anti-AI, please remember that the luddites were right. They were workers resisting the displacement of jobs by machines, so that owners could make an extra buck.

I beg all of y'all

Please stop arguing with these fuckin accounts going TRANS PEOPLE SHUT UP AND VOTE FOR NEWSOM

Not because they're right. Newsom is an absolute monster, don't support that fuck.

But because its an astroturf campaign designed to wear you out 3 YEARS BEFORE THE ELECTION

Here's another ask: are any of you doing virtual readings or events between September - December? I'm looking for some to encourage my creative writing capstone students to attend this fall. I would love to add this to the list on my Canvas site

No occasion fills me with more arresting indecisiveness about what to wear than first dates with other trans women.

Thanks for sharing, Lesley!

This weekend I got the friends and family discount from a doll I don’t know while ordering coffee. We didn’t even, like, have a moment of connection. She just took my order and put in the discount, and this, chat, is praxis, is community.
