I teach #Sociology and we got our statement from the assholes in power about the school needing to do some kind of DEI audit to make sure we aren't trying to achieve "nebulous goals such as diversity, racial balancing, social justice, or equity." Holy fucking hell. #woke #resist #eattherich

Cover of Bad Feminist with the quote “I would rather be a bad feminist than no feminist at all.”

No Place for Self-Pity, No Room for Fear In times of dread, artists must never choose to remain silent.

"This is precisely the time when artists go to work. There is no time for despair, no place for self-pity, no need for silence, no room for fear. We speak, we write, we do language. That is how civilizations heal."

On 1/20s past I was: Putting together a Dropkick Murphys in Berlin trip, having a duct tape dress making party, heading down to DC to March, auditioning for the Vagina Monologues, and winning Academic Advisor of the Year. Not sure whether to thank or curse the internet memory machine.

Ok #booksky, let’s talk.

👎🏼Goodreads, owned by Amazon, fuels its monopoly on books.

👍🏼StoryGraph, a Black woman-owned platform, offers an ethical, ad-free alternative with mood-based recommendations, user control over data, and a focus on inclusivity. Support diversity over corporate power!

I didn’t care about Tik Tok before today. Now I would like to see it die a slow, painful death.

I have many memories as well! There was so much hope in the air that day.

My honors students this semester need to choose to create a podcast, a blog, a movie, or some form of art that represents whatever sociological concept they want to explore. I am looking forward to seeing /listening to their finished projects! #sociology

Plant, create, design a D&D battle, finish writing my sociology classes for the spring while I lose myself in all 3 Lord of the Rings movies--extended--and cheer when Sauron is defeated.

The Moth | Live Storytelling Events The ideal way to experience The Moth is live and in person, where you can feel the electricity in the room.

They have story slams all over the place :-) The only qualifying is putting your name in and hoping it gets called! themoth.org/events

Now is a good time to get those banned books into your personal library. I fear they’ll disappear.

Why in the hell can’t they manage pain for medical procedures involving the uterus? “You will feel a small cramp.” Fuck you. #smashthepatriarchy #womenshealth #transhealth

Pippin and Gandalf on the eve of battle

This definitely me this week--longer, really, but it gets tighter and scarier every day.

Practicing my story for The Moth this week 🎤 The theme is "reset" and I am going to talk about the time I walked on fire and what it meant (if I get called up on stage!). #themoth #storyteller

An article I wrote in 2016. Nothing that came out of the metaverse this week was a surprise.

"You can never encounter the same asshole twice, but still encounter assholes forever" should be a bumper sticker.

I like the idea of a new year even if it is just another day on the calendar, but, I have to admit, this one is hard. I feel like we failed as a society by allowing T back in office and 2025 terrifies me. My words for the year will be fight, educate, and survive.

Writing is an act of rebellion.
Writing is an act of creation.
Writing is an act of salvation.
Writing is an act of exploration.
Writing is an act of emotion.
Writing is an act of confession.
Writing is an act of speculation.
Writing is an act of reflection.
Keep writing.

Submitting your name at The Moth is a cool roller coaster. They pull the 1st name, the 1st reader pulls the 2nd name, the 2nd pulls the 3rd and so on until they reach 10. You wait to tell the story you have practiced--but if you don't get called, you still get to hear other great stories!

The culture wars, the race wars, the gender wars...all smoke screens for the war they don't want you to fight.

The class wars.

I heard this is a good place to talk about taxing the rich, breaking up big tech, and ending Washington corruption.
