Yes! Thank you!
there are dozens or hundreds of reasons Nuzzi and RFK are terrible and none of them involve their consensual sexual choices

Excellent journalism! Thank you for this. It was truly eye-opening (and depressing).

The People I Remember On This Trans Day Of Remembrance Elisa Shupe, Lia Smith, Miss Major Griffin-Gracy, and so many more names are worth remembering today.

1. Nearly every transgender person walks this earth knowing people like us who are no longer with us.

In writing about transgender people every day, I hold in my heart the people who are now our ancestors, and I try to bring their light forward.

These are the people I'm remembering today.

Exactly!!

It's impolite to embarrass our guest by mentioning his direct involvement in a grotesque murder.

This short thread by @chanda.blacksky.app is very much worth a read, especially in light of learning once again that high-status political and academic men (eg Larry Summers) can be dangerous pigs and that it’s a constant professional BURDEN to women in the same field, especially women of color. ⬇️

Infuriating.
And can we also talk about how “but at least I did not have to worry about the worm that was not a worm in his brain” is spectacularly bad writing?

I was in grad school when Larry Summers made his comments about women’s aptitude in science. It was demoralizing, damaging, and enraging.

Come to find out, based on The Crimson’s report, Larry is not only a sex pest, but he has no common sense. Not the sharpest knife in the drawer.

This is a Black Mirror episode.

It's honestly one of the least disturbing things on that list

American Gold Digger The stereotype of the “gold digger” has had a fascinating trajectory in twentieth-century America, from tales of greedy flapper-era chorus girls to tablo...

turns out Larry Summers really was a raging sub-literate misogynist creep this entire time, who could have known

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

Yep. He gave that speech in 2005 that argued that women were underrepresented in STEM because of their tiny brains. This is a longstanding conviction of his, a hill he dies on again and again.

Frame from the 2006 movie "Children of Men." Under gray city skies, illegal immigrants are held in open-air cages while riot police hold off protesters.

Rewatching "Children of Men" for the 1st time in almost 20 years and OMG, the opening lines.

"Day 1,000 of the Siege of Seattle. The Muslim community demands an end to the Army's occupation of mosques...the deportation of illegal immigrants will continue."

The movie takes place in 2027.

The Miracle (sic) Mile is literally the safest mile in Chicago.

MEDICINE LABEL CHANGES Drugs used to treat menopause symptoms will no longer carry a warning label about stroke and other risks, the FDA announced.

Interesting choice of words when “hormone therapy” was right there.

Happy birthday to the album that made me a swiftie and continues to inspire me to focus on love, be a bad bitch, and laugh in the face of hate. She’s perfect, but I can’t wait for the day we get a few more pieces of this story 🤞🐍🖤

happy Reputation birthday to all who celebrate

SUCH a great show

The architectural boat tour is amazing. I'm glad your got to do it. When I lived there and had out of town visitors that was always on the agenda.

Instagram always serves me videos of unrealistic and unobtainable lifestyles (people petting capybaras)

What happened, @nytimes.com? Why not stand by your original headline? Because it’s absolutely an accurate representation of this trash conversation.

To publish this at all should be a fireable offense - but to publish it as women’s rights are being decimated is deeply immoral, bordering on evil

Tempted to toss my presentation for today and just talk for an hour about why "Honey" is the best song on TLOASG. #HoneyHive

The Life of a Showsiologist

OMG Yes!

A multicolor poster for a talk in giving on swifties that is very Eras Tour forward with crazed photos of me.

Giving a talk today on swifties and parasocial relationships at Midland University and the poster they made for this goes so hard.

Erica Deuso is the first openly transgender person to be elected mayor in Pennsylvania.

The longtime Democratic advocate defeated Republican Rich Bryant Tuesday to serve as the next mayor of Downingtown.
