Everyone relax! I have a Master’s degree. So does Arina, whom I can’t figure out how to tag.

🤔🤔

A closer who knows how to close. Is that so much to ask? @mets.com

Welcome back GKR! @snytv.bsky.social Keith: I understand they have underwater drones now Gary: Well, that wouldn’t work very well in baseball.

Looking forward to the first GKR game as they begin their third decade together! #LGM Also: www.instagram.com/reel/DWWQ0zy...

Calling the 3-run scoring play, Howie had Alonso following Soto. Sigh. But Bichette’s not a bad replacement. @metsradio880.bsky.social #LGM

Happy Opening Day of the Baseball Season to all who celebrate. Especially the Mets fans #LGM

Fascinating bit of LGBTQ history. 🧵

This man is a first-class communicator. Also a great teacher. #stpatricksday

At #awp26, loving all the queer panels: publishers, poets using humor, Dorothy Allison memories. But my kingdom for a chair massage! #wueerwriters

Screaming

This is where all the bogus anti-trans rhetoric has gotten us. Who has ever been harmed by sharing a highway with a trans person?

Had to say goodbye to my sweet puppy today, just a couple of weeks shy of her 17th birthday. RIP Fenway.

Soon Yi’s rough history with being Woody Allen’s "daughter turned wife," and then victim-blaming other survivors and befriending Epstein. It’s heinous and I had a lot to say about it. Listen to it here🗡️: Patreon.com/LaneMoore

The Pats’ QB looks like a 12-yr old who’s about to cry. #superbowl

Hey everyone! Huge news! Our trans girl scout list has sold a total of 146,000 boxes as of today! But MANY trans girl scouts only have 20, 30, 40 boxes sold. I just resorted our list to put those on the top. Go get your girl scout cookies and make a trans kid's day!

Direct quote from Trump re: Kennedy Center, “I'm not ripping it down. I'll be using the steel. So we're using the structure. We're using some of the marble.” -he’s ripping it down. Stop him or you won’t recognize DC soon.

It should not take a court order to get a toddler out of a prison.

“We are a Minneapolis 2nd grade Brownie Troop of 12 including trans and neurodiverse youth and 75% BIPOC kids. We want to go to summer camp and try horseback riding! During the current ICE occupation we need your support more than ever...” And that’s how I ordered 4 boxes of thin mints.

This post shouldn’t make me think of @schumer.senate.gov, but sadly it does.

Furious that these 60-year-old words are still true. What are we going to change? WHEN are we going to change?

I'm seeing loads of posts from #KidLit authors (including me) willing to virtual visit with MN classes who are on lockdown or doing virtual school right now or just in need of something exciting, fun, or kind in their day. Thread as I find them. ⬇️

I’m really into writing short fiction, mainly to-do lists.

Not my cousin telling me on Christmas Eve that I need to bring a pie to dinner tomorrow. Would an open-face PB&J count? #christmas

Yesterday while decorating the tree my daughter said “God rest ye Merry Gentle Ben” so that’s the song now in our house

When the Wampanoag first fed the Pilgrims they didn't realize they'd just invented Socialism for undocumented refugee immigrants. Happy Thanksgiving.

Something we should all aspire to on a daily basis.

Growing up, I couldn’t wait to get back to New England every summer and it’s hot, unfortunately named pudding with vanilla ice cream.

We all deserve the right to marry.

I for one think the Epstein Ballroom will be magnificent. I love the decor theme of “what if Uday Hussein ran a Ramada Inn.” And giving it a theme song everyone will associate with it is a stroke of brilliance! “Thank Heaven for Little Girls” is very catchy.

I love that a trans person is running to fill Moulton’s Congressional seat. bethfordemocracy.com

On national coming out day and everyday, you are loved and embraced wherever you are in your journey. 🏳️‍🌈

Here's a little cartoon for #WorldOctopusDay 🐙

The rest of the legal experts were not asked.

“Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.” - Leonard Cohen (who would have turned 91 yesterday).

Who is that acrobat in the outfield? Amazing defense is not what killed Mets today. It was all the sloppy games this week…and thru the 2nd half of season.

History rhymes a bit too well sometimes.

STEWART: “Comedy doesn’t change the world, but it’s a bellwether— we’re the banana peel in the coal mine… authoritarians are the threat to comedy, music, art, thought… progress.” Nailed it.

Or in more modern language: “try to leave out the boring parts.” (Elmore Leonard)

Big fan of this Padres pitcher #LFGM

This. This all day. Does anyone have a video of the full sermon?

“Sadometsochism” - the best description of the kind of personality you need to be a Mets fan. Oy.

Maybe I’m too sensitive about 9/11 stuff. But posing the @phillies.com Phanatic in a firefighter’s gear - no, sir. That’s plain disrespectful. 9/11 is not about partisanship.

No lies detected

Alexander #Hamilfilm. I am at Alexander #Hamilfilm. Thanks to all the things that blew up my schedule today so I could do this.

Jonah Tong is freaking adorable. #LFGM
