This has been a difficult week, but my co-conspirator and I got to talk to some wonderful folks doing similar work at the U of Toronto, and fam, it's looking like the beginning of an international ND higher ed professional community ❤️

I was listening to this audiobook on horror through a queer lens, and one of the narrators totally sounded like Garth Marenghi

In case like me, you need a timeline cleanse

No one is safe from this

A social network for figure skaters and ice hockey players, I’ll call it RinkedIn.

Week 39 of 52 watching films by femme/female directors (3/4th of the way through): La Chimera (2023) Dir. Alice Rohrwacher #WomenDirectors #FemmeDirectors #FemaleDirectors #filmsky

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

Jan 1: this is the year of new Me Jan 12: [eating shredded cheese directly from the bag] new years resolutions are a bourgeois construct for disciplining bodies into productive units for capital

I'm slightly hung over but mostly old

Chat, this was a lie! A last minute super stressed student busted in during my last hour, but thankfully, she left happy and having a class to start Monday

My last student appointment of the year showed up early and had extremely easy questions. I can now shut my brain off until Friday 😭

I usually have some aches and pains because of my repeated sprains to both my ankles. This year has been the absolute worst though for my ankle that I broke. There have been days where it straight up feels sprained again. I need to get back into my pt exercises

I was telling a student about this when they failed a CAPTCHA, and they didn't seem interested in my nonsense 😂

“I’m honored to be your ancestor and believe that disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”

I'm the only one at work today, and I'm proctoring a math placement test this morning. I just want to be in bed until 2026 😭

My spouse just said the little tags in fitted sheets that say "side" or "top/bottom" are the best invention in the history of the world, and they're not wrong

I finished two books today: Heated Rivalry by Rachel Reid (wow is it even dirtier than the show and that is an exquisitely flithy show) Crip Kinship by Shayda Kafai

If I go my libby app, I read over 300 books this year, but some of those were while I was sleeping, so not sure it counts 😂

inviting all billionaires to a secret island. not that one. the one where they all get the green track suits with numbers

Saw Bluesky described as where elder millennials go to retire from the internet, and immediately felt the peace that passes all understanding wash over me. None of have to struggle any longer. We completed our time.

I'm currently reading Heated Rivalry, so gay hockey player

Week 38 of 52 (my last film of the calendar year) watching films directed by females/femmes: Every Little Thing (2024) Dir: Sally Aitken

Love this: "First of all, asking people why they are masking is invasive behavior. No one randomly owes you information about their health, their loved one’s health, or, understandably, just wanting to avoid Covid, which is the only way to prevent Long Covid."

I don’t think that is actually how being anti-colonial, or decolonial or even postcolonial works

So much bad shit this year, but I am proud to have finished my first year of my MS & having the poem I wrote for my friends published. One thing I'm really looking forward to is meeting with this U of Toronto prof who has been doing similar ND community building work for higher ed staff and faculty

This is why Nicholas Cage stole it, right?

in 2026 we are NOT hustling, we are NOT grinding, we are doing just enough Job to have money for Video Game

The season finale made you cry, not me. Shut up! 😭

Last time I checked, Mexico is part of North America.

These gay hockey players give me life!

We're "watching" 90 Day Fiancée: the Other Way. I have been instructed to wake up the spouse when Jenny and Sumit are on.

Like no, dude, I don’t need a chatbot. I have an English degree. I can write my own emails.

My MIL is telling us which nuts are good and bad for us based on this internet doctor. What she doesn't know is the best nuts are...

I'm watching the Music Man and thinking about how bullshit hats are nowadays. I want flamboyance and variety!

Sending three ghosts tonight to fuck up Stephen Miller.

Michelle Pfeiffer is the MAIN CHARACTER. She is equally sexy as a "mousy" secretary as she is in her skin-tight cat suit. Batman is just her love interest that briefly distracts her from her mission of taking down her boss who is attempting to steal from Gotham's citizens to enrich himself.

I have been to Thornewood Castle where Rose Red was filmed!

Rewatching Rose Red, & there's a lot to unpack: an old white dude weaponizing the university's systems to harass & discredit a female colleague, a psychic autistic girl with the worst family (the "good" member is the one who wants to institutionalize her), and pre-Bones Emily Deschanel!

Week 37 of films directed by femme/female directors: The Holiday (2006) Dir. Nancy Meyers

"The concept of ' #profoundAutism ' is deeply problematic. It risks reinforcing dehumanizing assumptions—that the absence of speech equates to an absence of thought, agency, or interiority, & that Autistic people with CSN are–as the Lancet Commission claims—'unable to advocate for themselves.'" 1/2

Having the news in your hand hits different @theonion.com

A movie that takes place where you're from.

A federal judge nominee admitted today that he said during a sermon that disabled people shouldn't get married. As I wrote for @motherjones.com, in fact, many can't out of risk of losing their benefits. www.motherjones.com/politics/202...

Week 36 female/femme directed films double feature: Shari and Lambchop (2023) Love, Gilda (2018) Dir. Lisa D'Apolito

I saw that some lawyer is suing the IRS to count pets as dependents, and it is probably the stupidest lawsuit I have ever heard of that I desperately want the person to win. My dog is expensive as hell
