Today they banned my book. Here’s what I want you to know: thebloggess.com/2026/03/25/t...

I finished the book and highly recommend it! Her narration added to the humor and enjoyment of what for some people might be kind of gross subject matter.

instead of watching the new harry potter trailer, why not pick up some horror books by trans and nb writers for the trans rights readathon?? there are so many good options. For example, check out some of these writers:

sometimes u find out an author sucks and you go back through the text and think "yikes yep theres some sketchy stuff in here" and decide to never read Piers Anthony ever again

My pickle? Skankin'.

I know you've all been wondering what I did with the week I couldn't use my phone? I'll show you. I made a pair of pants into shorts with a new panel of fabric from an old pair of F's pants and made a bag out of the legs, using scraps of old jeans for the strap. The liner is a curtain I made 20+

you should absolutely not give money, that is entirely optional to spend, to terrible human beings. if a dickhead owns the only grocery store for 50 miles, that sucks, but you gotta eat. if you want a tchotchke that enriches a bigot, don't get it. ta fucking da.

I love not using AI. I love making things by hand, writing, chatting, petting my cats, looking at ducks, making friends with crows. Not using AI is very fun.

Look upon my works ye mighty and think actually I was looking for some prints. marswasrubbish.etsy.com

Once again tapping the sign: what you loved most about Harry Potter is long dead, and sniffing its corpse "just to see" fuels a hate campaign with a death toll

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

I had no idea they made a musical of Almost Famous until just now when a song from it came up on a musical theater playlist and I can't say I'm in favor of making musicals out of every movie? Like, is every new musical anymore either jukebox or a remake of a movie?

Again Gavin Newsom is such a creature of California he cannot exist outside it, if he goes past Nevada he’ll turn into one of the blobfish they take from deep high pressure seas

Spotted my first fairy lantern of the year, more than a month earlier than last year. 🫠 Everything is 2-5 weeks early this year. 😬

In 5.5 years my old phone never learned that I never want to type the word Lord after I type the words "may the", let's see if this new phone is any smarter.

TFW your kid gets the best award.

Good morning from the lilac in my sister's front yard.

One thing about this new phone that I'm still getting used to is how easy it is to do things I don't want to do on this app, like accidentally save posts or open links when I'm just trying to scroll. Let me live, bsky!

I'm listening to Mary Roach's most recent book* (she's a delightful narrator btw) and as per usual it's simultaneously cool and gross. *Replaceable You

H*ck yeah tulip!!!

I led a staff engagement session today, and inspired by photo treasure hunts I've seen over the years, here were my prompts: *Three contrasting colors and/or textures in/on the same thing *Something that reminds you of spring *Something that reminds you of childhood/your past *Something that

Probably the road trip we did from Denver to New Haven CT (the northern route, through NB IA IL IN MI OH PA NY CT) and back (the southern route through NY PA DC VA WV NC TN KY MO KS), a week or so in each direction. It was summer and we didn't have ac in the car. 🥵

My kid: complains every time he is required to shower, protests vociferously, etc. Also my kid: takes long and luxurious showers every time and usually sings once he gets in

Good morning from this white rosebud.

In this climate, nasturtiums are perennials. This one still has leaves smaller than my smallest fingernail but makes normal flowers. 🌱

We are watching the most recent Frankenstein movie and I wish to tap this sign for movies as well.

Ok I'm just gonna call bullshit on it being 90 American degrees in March when the deciduous trees don't even have leaves yet so there isn't enough shade. 🤬

I have to figure out how to fix the white balance on this phone's camera because this flower cluster should be bright orange and it's just not.

Clan of the cave bear (9) and everything I read by Piers Anthony in middle school.

I found a gorgeous homemade dress at a thrift store today but I didn't want to chance it not fitting. I hope the right person finds and loves it! So much care was obviously taken to make it a really nice garment.

We've been rewatching schitt's Creek and the yearning I have to see the entire version of Cabaret as done by the cast of the show as their characters. The little bit we get of Stevie and Patrick as Sally Bowles and the Emcee is not enough!!!

it is very hot.

Anyway if I missed anything since Sunday I'm sorry and I would love to be updated! This is my main social outlet so I really felt caged and isolated, especially since I didn't even have my contacts. I took this on Sunday morning with my old phone and I'm glad it's available to share now.

Pals it's a long and sordid tale but the short version is, don't ever have only one device that can log into your Google account because if it dies it takes a week, a pal who works for the company, and an act of a deity to recover one's account. My new phone was a Google phone so I literally could

I HAVE RETURNED \o/

Jack White and Jack Black to merge into Jack the Grey, unite the seven comedy kingdoms. Screaming eagles bear him to rock heaven. #SNL

Did a running at the river park with F on his bike, and a rando driving a uhaul had managed to get it along the path halfway? He was turning it around at the bridge, and pals, this path is paved but it is Very Clearly not a road so I don't know what he was thinking.

My camera roll didn't find anything for hell, probably because I basically just take photos of flowers and my kid.

We ended up watching galaxy quest but I appreciate everyone's suggestions! We are going to watch some of them in the near future!

Pals I'd like to watch a movie that is fun and adventurous that is ok for F to watch (no sex scenes or extreme violence, I mind the violence/he minds the sex) and available on a streaming service to watch or rent I guess? It doesn't have to be a kid movie but something that isn't just adults talking

Any other takers?

Hey that callback was pretty fun. Who knows if anything will come of it, but I got to meet some new people and hug some pals.

this is the gayest thing in. in the world. and someone donated it

Also today is callbacks for the summer Shakespeare, so send positive thoughts this way and maybe the director will cast me for once.

Pals I have been running F around to various events but I will get to everyone's flower I promise! (He had a theater rehearsal in one town and is about to do an Irish dance performance in another)

Good morning, friends! For my birthday today I am giving away flowers. Please @ me if you would like one. (Offer good for the entire day)

Very same.

Same, green bell pepper. Same.
