Why does he keep doing that weird thing with his mouth?

“It isn’t that I’m more afraid of public speaking than death; it is that public speaking feels like it could cause my death. But I do it every month because I am a high school librarian in the state of Texas in times such as these.” 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 @la-cac.org www.texasobserver.org/abilene-isd-...

Wait did trump try to guess his shoe size and get it wrong and now he has to wear them? Why do I even know that is a possibility, I hate this timeline

I never ever touch it and never ever will :)

Happy International Women's Day. 🏴

I think my job kind of feels like this sometimes actually… no wonder I love it so much

I 💕 Ghostkeeper so much!!! Absolutely freaking adorable.

“You wouldn’t be in my Top 8” is the old lore. I feel ancient for even understanding that.

It wasn't "cancel culture" when women and people of color got used up, silenced, and dismissed before their careers even began. It only became "cancel culture" when powerful abusers started having established careers momentarily inconvenienced by revelations of what they'd done.

This is gross on SO many levels.

I do hate to be the bearer of… news or whatever, but that rash is likely from a skin cancer chemotherapy cream. It is preventative. Looks rough, then heals. He spends a lot of time with his neck in the sun on a golf course.

Teacher husband only has the one job, but I have one full-time and three different types of freelance gigs 🙃

Every progressive over ~30 is dealing with massive, MASSIVE Iraq and Afghanistan (imperialistic) (invasions) War gaslighting and fatigue right now... along with the horror of yet more blood on our hands. Some of us were always against this shit. Some of us protested it. And... here we go again. 🤬

I told my kids about the lunar eclipse and they are demanding I wake them up in the middle of the night to go see it with me. I’m on the fence, because they’re already so hard to wake up

I want to be able to tell the onion from the news again

Jayme Lawson from Sinners hit the nail on the head and said how I felt with the whole BAFTAs situation.

A reminder from James Baldwin

A school. Full of GIRLS. I’m going to spontaneously combust.

I need to write but my life will not get QUIET good grief

Ooh, same! But I have to have at least one hardcover, a paperback I can read in the bath, an audiobook for chores and driving, an ebook for when I’m stuck somewhere without my paper book…

Af2 went over my house this morning bringing the war dude to the military industrial facility nearby for a fancy lil tour thing

It doesn’t happen very often because I can find something to enjoy about so many books, but every once in a while I find one really… icky and then it ends up everywhere. I’m not trying to pick fights so I’m not saying which one, but gawd some people do not need to be writing for teens

To read, library folks 📚

This show was my entire personality when I was like… 16

I know it’s difficult right now, but I insist that you seek and enjoy beautiful things, even if it seems frivolous or irresponsible in the face of overwhelming horror. I want you to feed yourself artistically, spiritually, and literally, because you can’t Do The Work when you’re starving.

Fucking hideous behavior.

oops. White nationalism is a helluva drug.

I think about this tweet every time I feel something online start to curl its annoying little grip into my head

In the study but NOT included in the article: “However, reverse causation cannot be ruled out, as some individuals may begin to use cannabis to self-medicate prodromal symptoms of psychiatric disorders even before a diagnosis is made.”

I have become the kind of person who has a least favorite circuit court (it’s the fifth)

they’re radicalizing guys name colt shelby who work in the oil and gas industry

The most marginalized population are young people, and they're being pushed further and further out of public spaces. That's because they're not seen as people, but they are certainly convenient props for the "culture war."

“There is no such thing as porn for kids, and there is no obscene material available for teen readers, period. It would be against the law to publish, let alone purchase for a library.”

Clearly the point of this week is to test my ability to withstand uncertainty in just about every facet of my life. Really not my strong suit!

When I first got my chickens I just stared at the a lot because they are literal actual dinosaurs and you can see it in their eyes

People can say it’s utopian or dreamy but it’s a fact that you have to believe new things are possible, fundamentally, in order to make them real. You have to make the choice to believe that more than this is possible & not be resigned to this being the way things have to be because it’s not at all.
