I'm taking so long with my homework this week because I have to keep putting down Cinderella: A Casebook so I can take deep, calming breaths. 😡

Photo of a fox standing knee deep in snow. Its ears are fully backward, its tail is between its legs, and it’s clearly barely holding up against a strong gust of wind. Caption by fox post dash generator: it fucken WIMDY.

wait fuck how could I have forgotten the best one

Reminder:

When you feel like giving up, remember that you are full of strength and that you didn’t come this far to only come this far.

You got this.

Heartbroken to hear James Dobson has died age 89. It should have been a lot sooner

Distressing thought: being a graduate student means I have a very limited and rapidly dwindling time to continue playing the "not it" game when I complain that there aren't more contemporary published sources on a given topic.

Thanks!! :D

Don't threaten me with a good time. (Please do bore me! Or if you've published anything, I'd love to read it!)

Well I'm intrigued...!

Forgot alt text. Image is a selfie of a white, middle-aged, nonbinary individual with black hair and blue eyes. They are wearing Mothman earrings and black clothing.

Without downloading any new pics, describe your gender.

Congrats! Can't wait to check it out!

40 plus appreciation post. Reskeet with a pic if you're on the right side of 40.

41 in two weeks.

It's kidnap. They don't have warrants and there's no due process.

I hope for your family's safety.

If they have somewhere they CAN go, I hope they change their minds quickly.

To the first part, we *can't* tell. It's terrifying because vulnerable people are made even more vulnerable to things like being trafficked because as you said, anyone can pretend they're an ICE agent.

Some people have begun calling the local police when "ICE" shows up, with mixed success.

Now it's time to learn how to cook beets.

#thingsfolkloristsdo #folklore

Went out to a community garden to do fieldwork. A gardener stabbed my nonfunctional sunblock spray with scissors so it exploded sunblock all over me and my partner - a last ditch effort to protect my already-burning self.

He sent me home with a bag of beets.

While I'm at it, this "white men are gonna turn on ICE because they're deporting big booty Latinas" shit is pretty fucked up

Already seen one lib org make a video advertisement kinda on that theme

just further objectifying women who are already subjected to sexual violence and trafficking

Handshake meme between folklorists and storytellers knowing the integral participatory nature of the audience 🥹

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders?

Most folklorists don't study fairy tales.

I don't study fairy tales and most other folklorists don't, either.

Follow up shock: gender is folklore and a lot of us do study that.

A potted mint plant with a hand in the background for scale

Potted mint, pots with seedlings, and potted lavender

A monstera on a hardwood floor. A bookshelf is in the background. A Shetland sheepdog stares from the sidelines because there is a .001% chance his parent has treats for him.

A balcony railing overlooking apartments. Plants are growing in window boxes and in pots on a low side table.

Been using my downtime during summer break to read dystopian fic and grow things on my balcony.

It's keeping me somewhat calm.

This is a great tribute to her career and I’m delighted that they brought up the episode THE NURSES. She was so breathtakingly vulnerable in the scene where she confronts her staff I’ve never forgotten the moment she said “well you were wrong”
So human
RIP

I AM that good and if no one else is going to tell me so, I guess I need to start saying it more often.

(All this to say my imposter syndrome has been doing nothing of value for me and it's going in a pine box.)

Had a moment last week where I realized if I could go through a divorce, Trump's presidency, and having no familial support while working, taking three graduate courses and still maintaining a 4.0 GPA, I am more than capable of handling a doctoral program.

Backwards, in heels.

I'm jealous of everyone upstream from Rock Creek park near DC because chances are good you took a shit on RFKjr

I named him Tam Lin.

You get a cookie if you know why.

Hopefully I did the pruning and repotting correctly for the shoots. It’s supposed to be a hardy plant that grows from cuttings this way, so fingers crossed.
