Personal: my husband called me one of the most competent people he'd ever met (I grew up feeling like I was a flake)

Professional: a review said my first book read like a 90s romcom.

This is maybe just my very niche interest, but teaching comprehensive sex ed in places (like Texas) that are hostile to it, legally.

One of my alums recently messaged to thank me for everything I teach because no one at college "knows how to use databases OR condoms." So I must be doing some good in the world. πŸ˜‚

Things you could do in honor of my birthday:
Support a Palestinian family in need
Support a queer/trans kid in Texas
If you're in Houston, vote for HISD board
Buy my last book for everyone you know (it hasn't earned out yet):

Today I'm 43. I generally have a lot of anxiety about all the things I haven't done yet, but today I'm feeling pretty good about the whole thing. I've done some cool stuff. I've published 3 novels, raised the coolest kid on Earth, and learned how to not hate my body.

β€œI don’t think of myself as a chef,” she says. β€œBut, like, a person who is creating a feeling in a space.”

This is like ... An actual David Rose quote but I don't think she's satirizing herself 😭

Remember, as SNAP is about to end, the standing rule remains firm:

If you see someone stealing diapers or formula no you didn't.

My current book on sub gets rejections like "queer books are just really hard to sell right now" but CoHo is over here writing fan fic of herself. Amazing I love it here.

I want more people to care that SNAP benefits are being cut off on November 1. 40% of SNAP beneficiaries are children. This is callous and vile.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

B.
Issue a declaratory judgment stating that if Speaker Johnson has not administered
the oath, the oath may be administered to Ms. Grijalva by any person authorized by law to administer oaths under the law of the United States, the District of Columbia, or the State of
Arizona; and
C. Award other relief as the Court deems just and proper.

seems that RFK is clearing the path for his CDC to do tuskegee syphillis experiments as a matter of course. in other news, RFK is a genuine monster who relishes in the pain and suffering of those he feels he has control or dominion over

This averages out at a violation roughly every four hours, around the clock, continuously since 10 October. At what point do we stop calling it a ceasefire when Israel has just literally not ceased firing

This whole thread is excellent, just boosting this skeet because it's immediately actionable and kind of got lost in the replies at the end.

I'm glad to see huge numbers in big cities, but the rallies in very conservative areas of Texas like the Woodlands/Conroe and New Braunfels are really getting me. Every small town white woman he alienates is a chip in his power.

This just makes me believe that she also hates trans people but she doesn't want to deal with the consequences of saying so.
