Bugs the shit out of me that when a company or production hires a person with an abusive past, it’s always framed as “don’t you believe in second chances😢😢😢” and never, NEVER, “is it worth it to put every woman at this company at risk?”

Muriel's Wedding. Just awful

I took a vacation. The federal courts did not. Reaction videos, reggaetón, Taylor Swift, migrating ducks, and the photographer who beat the server test only to lose to the calendar. Consider it a beach read, if your idea of the beach is a federal courthouse: copyrightlately.com/whats-up-cop...

Loved this quote especially. I feel like every time I turn around I'm being told, "Oh, did your arm fall off? Yeah, that can happen, there isn't really a treatment. Try journaling about it." tf

Hahaha, I have had *three* endometrial biopsies, a procedure that “improves” (derogatory) on IUD insertion by virtue of forcibly removing bits of your internal organs. Can confirm that the grabby bit is agonizing

aw karolina sweetie you did great. chin up girl

It's conference season, so I wanted to share the AI refusal statement I put at the end of my presentations and book talks. Feel free to use it!

The hallmark of a good running shoe store is it employs a crusty old dude who knew Roger Bannister who will watch you walk across the floor in your socks and say, yep, you overpronate, try this New Balance stability shoe, and it changes your life

On this day in 2000, Venus Williams won her first Wimbledon victory, but received less money than the male singles champion. Williams pushed for equal pay and finally took home equal prize money when she won her 4th Wimbledon title in 2007. #WeTheMen

"Americans love a winner!!! The USWNT had won four world cups, five olympic golds, nine concacaf trophies, and is the most successful team in global women's football. But they're not men so...🤷🏾‍♂️ The men have never made it past the quarters yet every four years we gotta act like "this is the one!"

The throughline from the totenkopf tattoo to the rape allegations is that antisemitism and masculine panic/misogyny are very often part of the same rancid package.

Reminder: there is no excuse for smearing women who come forward about sexual assault. It doesn’t make you righteous because you agree politically with the abuser.

In before I see the asshole takes: “Innocent until proven guilty” is about legal adjudication and state punishment, not whether people have to let you become a United States Senator

#OnThisDay in 1957, Althea Gibson became 1st Black player to win at Wimbledon. Became #1 female tennis player. After tennis world opened its doors, she won French Open & women’s singles & doubles at Wimbledon. Won 56 career singles & doubles championships. mississippitoday.org/2025/07/06/1...

The photographer who captured the viral July 4, 2026, image of a Black woman surrounded by masked Patriot Front members on the Washington, D.C. subway is Cheney Orr, a photojournalist for Reuters

Bay Area! I'm going to be at the Mill Valley Library at 6:30 on Thursday, August 6th talking about my book, grief, and loss with Angela Hennessy. Please make a reservation so they know how many books to order!

I feel like we're not talking about how "gender tests" for participation in girls sports IS SEXUAL ASSAULT OF MINORS STATE SANCTIONED SEXUAL ASSAULT OF MINORS

We believe Olya and Brenda.

to ALL the media/news outlets and journalists who are choosing to ignore, obfuscate and equivocate in the wake of todays events: you should be deeply ashamed and you are complicit in a culture that enables violence against women and allows its perpetrators to thrive.

🙄 The last time I refilled my patch Rx it reminded me of Christmas 1996 when I got Long Ultra-Suffering Husband (then Boyfriend) the newly-released Nintendo 64. Hours of calling around to see who had it in stock and rushing to get it when available. No shortage, my enraged, perimenopausal, ass

The most unhinged Slam in memory

california is gonna have so many mail in ballots that don’t get counted because people don’t know the new USPS rules that are impacting mail in voting. tl;dr don’t put your ballot in the mail today, find a ballot drop box. www.kqed.org/news/1208537...

Grateful to @benrothenberg.bsky.social for continuing to shine a light on this important issue. Count me among those who categorically refuse to watch Zverev.

"In a ruling Monday, U.S. District Judge Beryl A. Howell held that placing a copyrighted work on a public docket doesn't end the owner's rights to it" and that they "weren't entitled to copy and refile it wholesale in their own cases without permission."

I love this. La Monf is my favorite player of all time.

happy 9th anniversary to the day we watched Zendaya fall madly in love with Tom Holland in real-time

Bodybuilding/strength training was one of the most empowering journeys of my life, honestly. I've slimmed down a little bit now, thanks to grief (ugh), and have increased Muay Thai training. But being strong and jacked for its own sake is fun AF.

This is EXCELLENT

This framing, from the article, is maddening: “If you’re a young man looking at the situation, you don’t see in the future that you’re going to need to be responsible for a family….

Terribly sad news. Prof Syverud was my civil procedure prof in law school. An amazing professor and a profoundly decent man. Wishing him and his family all the best

It’s infuriating when a woman comes forward about a man raping her in his hotel room after drinking and the response is “Why would she go to his room?” “Why would she drink with him?” This is Mike Pence logic. Women should be allowed to hang out with men without expecting they will be raped.

Gardening and camping. I would like to be the kind of person who is into these things, but they both strike me (in their own way) as miserable activities. But I enjoy hearing and reading about others' gardening and camping adventures!

What mental gymnastics are the flat earthers engaging in around the images coming from the Artemis II livestream right now, I wonder. Golly but it's a gorgeous view

Really weird to be a Gen Xer who lived throug the Rs' moral panic and social stigma of teen pregnancy in the 80s only for their open and unapologetic position now to be that teens should be pumping out more babies, by force of law if necessary

Coffee and Nutella are both vile
