Xander is in the hospital on his birthday because he's still radioactive. (After hyperthroid treatment.) So his medical team made him a cake. THANK YOU,

Great appreciation to the two people I met at yesterday's protest who were immediately deeply invested in my cat's radioactive iodine hyperthyroid treatment and supportive of our care decisions. Community means a lot.

One of my students summarizes the human condition, as expressed by Euripides' Bacchae: "Life is hard. Sometimes wine helps. When wine isn't enough, you suffer."

tickets for November, acquired! I love having live music to look forward to throughout the year - especially when that music is made by someone using their voice to be in the fight.

A graduating senior, someone I've worked with since their freshman year, left an 'LDOC' card under my door. The sentiments pretty nearly made me cry. But I was distracted from all-out emotion by having to google 'LDOC'.

If you're used to depending on Amazon for finding products, you can still use their website to identify what you need - but then buy the item through the manufacturer's own website. Even better is to shop local and independent from the beginning, but some things are hard to find.

A conundrum! I want to give a student a book for graduation. The book is wonderful - it explores gentrification and identity through an innovative mythologizing lens. But there is an endorsement from Gaiman front and center on the cover. Not the book's fault! What to do?

This little guy is going in tomorrow for hyperthyroid treatment. It's radioactive iodine, so he'll be away from home for two weeks or a little longer. Good thoughts, encouraging words, or positive experiences all most welcome. Anxiety levels are pretty high.

AOC is all sensible Americans right now, Americans who have completely lost patience with the wildly incompetent, lying loons currently running things who undermine our sanity, wealth, and wellbeing.

Scene: Rhiannon Giddens' concert last night. She announces that she is doing a stop at Carnegie Hall. *applause* She adds that it is in celebration of America's 250th. *awkward silence* She looks around, pauses, and then growls: "THEY. CAN'T. HAVE. IT." *THUNDEROUS APPLAUSE, SOME TEARS*

If you are *anywhere near* one of Rhiannon Giddens' tour stops - BUY YOUR TICKETS:

Went tonight in Boston and it was breathtaking. Virtuosic, hopeful, angry, deeply rooted in the past, speaking for the future.

"sex doesn't belong in YA books" Listen, I learned more about birth control, menstruation, and how to get and give consent to different acts from Tamora Pierce books than I did from my school. There's a huge difference between smut and showing teens what healthy sexuality is.

Through book bans, Republicans are censoring Black, queer & marginalized authors and denying us the freedom to learn. My Books Save Lives Act would confront book bans & ensure inclusive learning environments. Proud to visit All She Wrote Books in Somerville to introduce this bill.

Regardless of whether it’s all talk, when the leader of our country expresses plainly genocidal intent, everyone has to do something. For citizens of all political stripes, it means rejecting this madness. For Congress, it means taking action to rein him in. Now.
