(thinks about how much money she's spent on Submas merch since 2020) ...yeah...

I mean, I'd watch Air Bud: Battle of Trafalgar...

Cat laid down in his litter box so he has been bathed. He's not happy about it but at least he's clean and smells nice. Nice-ish. Like cat shampoo combined with soggy animal. Maybe not so nice, actually.

i have to say, as a trans journalist who has covered the "trans debate" for about a decade now, there is no daylight between how the trump administration and conservatives lie about tylenol and autism and how they've lied about youth trans care.

Met LeVar Burton at NYCC in my final semester of grad school and he was SO happy to find out I was going into library work. I was the only one queued up to meet him for Reading Rainbow and he signed my copy of Space Case, my favorite RR book. I cherish it so much.

When Halloween is the next major secular holiday on the calendar it is a great time to shop for home decor because it is the easiest time of the year to find things with cats on them.

Me every time I do even the slightest amount of physical activity because of SSRIs

It's almost like they know sports help girls grow up to be confident and independent and they don't want them to play at all regardless of whether they're cis or trans. Hmmmm.

If this comes back I'm going to scream. For the record, my mom is cool and she has always loved me and been proud of me. I even followed her into library work, albeit a different track.

I am playing a silly game about horses. It makes me feel closer to my grandfather.

You all know what to do: go visit if you can and go for a ride! The great and honorable Tama would want you to.

I cannot overstate how much The Daily Tism nailed it on this one, oh my God.

in MLB dot com write ups of Roberto Clemente Award nominees, Liam Hendriks' work with LGBTQ+ organizations was referenced in 2022, 2023, and 2024. there is no mention of it in this year's write up. www.mlb.com/news/roberto... (previous years can be found changing "2025" in the url slug)

For no reason at all, I strongly recommend making a donation to the Committee to Protect Journalists (either one-time or monthly): give.cpj.org/campaign/667...

I have Gold Ship at potential level 5 (maximum) and 4☆ (one to go!). This is my happy thing of the day. The silly little horse game is helping me cope with...everything.

Trying to distract myself from...everything by watching my boy Rich Strike (2022 Kentucky Derby upset winner). Richie's pluck is always a nice reminder that sometimes great things do happen.

Have discovered that there is a stable in Van Cortlandt Park where I can go to ride horses for reasonably priced sessions. I have not ridden regularly since 1998 but given literally everything happening I feel a strong need to be outside and around animals more.

Can people and animals who genuinely inspired me stop dying this week? www.nytimes.com/2025/09/13/s...

Tricia Squire, 34, walks her five-year-old Samoyed, Chewy, twice a day, attracting constant attention from people eager to delay Squire’s walk on the baseless assumption that dog owners are universally sociable.

With autistic trauma responses, "The brain replays an echo from the past where a situation like this happened, but ended badly—and you are prepared for it to happen again. The same sensations occur, so your mind and body cannot differentiate." -Luce Greenwood, at TPGA: tinyurl.com/NDtraumaResponses

Okay wait hang on this is now the definitive version youtu.be/nm8ooQiQJ1s?...

would also offer the Objective as like another publication for folks to reach out to as another option for media critique/criticism because I think we need more of it in every space. we offer $0.50/word objectivejournalism.org/pitch-us/

Played Umapyoi Legend over the footage of Secretariat obliterating the Belmont Stakes and it's way funnier than it has any right to be

I AM SO READY FOR JAPANESE-STYLE 7-ELEVENS

I am an autistic historian and let me tell you, I have been having an AWFUL time over the past decade

Look, an LNER A4!

If you don't see me around much today: my dad was flying to Chicago for business on 9/11/01 out of Newark Airport and was one gate away from United Flight 93. He was one of the last people to see them alive. I went to the memorial with him in PA 20 years later and he recognized faces.

ME ACTUALLY

Here, some good news from NYC regarding wages!

Please do yourselves a favor and do this. I saw the video. You do not want to see the video.

Great Job New Mexico! I hope other states follow suit.

I'm told you were the best. #haruurara

I'm going to miss this horse so much. She gave it her all every time, won all our hearts, and inspired so many to keep going and persevering. Thank you, Haru Urara. ♡ You really were a shining star.

IMPORTANT GOOD NEWS

That's Washington Street in Hoboken, where businesses last on average a few months because of rent.

Supermarket Sweep portrays my wildest fantasy of being in and out of the grocery store in under five minutes

Remembered a time when I was watching Millionaire and the million dollar question was "Who gave a two hour speech before Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address?" and let me tell you, I was FURIOUS because I knew it.

Ah, damnit, Ganon is back again and all the monsters we've slain are going to respawn now

(hi Emmet Pokemon I love you)

Only Gold Ship on my mind

Went to Railfest at Steamtown yesterday. They had their Big Boy open for cab tours so I got to pretend to be Ed Dickens for a moment.

A little horn show from the new NextGen Acela, on the after noon of 8/28/25, their first day in revenue service. This will be this sets first Eastbound (northbound?) revenue trip on the corridor, as it started its day in Boston. #acela #amtrak #highspeedrail #princeton #nec #newjersey

Good.

one very real, concrete way to help feed Gaza right now is through donating to World Central Kitchen

OHO, NJT 4506 IS ON MY LOCAL LINE, BABY! I've got a shot at hunting her down as long as she stays there for a bit...

Getting Haru Urara, a horse famous for never winning a race in her entire career, to win by a nose right at the line feels amazing.

EEL ♡♡♡
