ADHD pro tip - you can bake things in a rice cooker. I've done cake, brownies (do half the batter at a time on those), pancake, giant cookie, etc. Cooks perfectly every time and turns itself off so no risk of burning (said as someone who has burned spaghetti several times because I got distracted).

It's a great cosmic joke that neurodivergence both runs in families and gets diagnosed based on parent reports. I was diagnosed at 30 because a man who has eaten potatoes every day for 57 years and a woman who collects loose buttons decided I was a perfectly normal child.

‘Death remains my intimate shadow partner. It has been with me since birth, always hovering close by. I understand one day we will finally waltz together into the ether. I hope when that time comes, I die with the satisfaction of a life well-lived, unapologetic, joyful, & full of love.’ —Alice Wong

I assume the modern equivalent would be DJs....

Actually, that's just Rhonda. And the store manager would like you to know she doesn't work at the grocery store. And she refuses to say what kind of milk it is.

I just cleaned several litterboxes maybe 10 minutes ago, only to have one of the cats hop into the bag of litter and poop there instead.

"The artist’s solo show, Inward, continues her exploration of what she describes as “un-gravity constructions,” in which space and time appear folded or warped." www.thisiscolossal.com/2025/11/cint...

My second book, The View from the Hill, was supposed to be on sale this month. It's a celebration of hundreds of women who made their mark after 40. My publisher, Rising Action, cancelled it and two other IW titles when I pushed them on money they owed me. Now I'm suing. 1/5

I have joked for years that being a product of the US education system should count as a learning disability, and the more I discover, the less it seems like a joke

This week on the podcast, Grace Beattie, creator, host and producer of Wicked Women: The Podcast, discusses how we perceive and depict famous women in real time and in retrospect. Listen: creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/... Transcript: www.infinite-women.com/wp-content/u...

Lots of hard, shitty lessons being learned from this presidency. And one of the many I hope you're learning is, white supremacy is incompatible with reality, and cannot exist without historical revisionism.

"Soon..." "Soon what, Kinmo? "I haven't decided yet..." "Ok, well just let me know when you do." "Oh, you will know... Soon..." (This face is full of dramatic ellipses)

This is what's so absolutely unhinged about prosperity theology that so many of these churches promote - saying "if God loves you, you'll be rich" doesn't feel like anything I learned in Sunday school.

Even if I did still shop at Target, this would make me stop because forced cheerfulness / friendliness is creepy as hell.

I LEARNED THE ANSWER TO THIS Chris's Steakhouse was a New Orleans landmark Chris Matulich periodically got bored, sold it, waited for the new owner to fail, and bought it back cheap The sale conditions: Can't move it, can't change the name He did this six times Then he sold it to Ruth Fertel

"It gives me no joy to admit that there are certain kinds of professors who love little more than seeing their names in the paper. It’s not great, but there it is... But I like to think even they would’ve been able to spot the coiled wires and rusty springs of this particular trap."

I keep jumping around to different writing projects, and just told @gerardatkinson.com "the new projects will continue until morale improves!" Anyway, what's that we were saying about ADHD and dopamine...?

This post makes my back hurt

The blacklist is back just as Hollywood is contracting and right-wing billionaires are capturing every broadcaster and studio. At this rate, mainstream entertainment as we’ve known it will be exclusively state media before these four years are up.

The world’s first trillionaire initiated a move that has left more than half a million people dead, most of whom are children.

The US is the world's largest oil and gas producer. Yet, "China is now making more money from exporting green technology than America makes from exporting fossil fuels."

The Heritage Foundation has given the Emily Dickinson Museum (@emilydickinson.bsky.social) a C in its new guide to historic sites nationwide because events at the museum reportedly "celebrate abortion, homosexuality, and a whole host of progressive causes," so anyway, sounds cool, I'll be visiting

@in-otter-news.bsky.social , is Steve involved with this?

Autistic ways of saying “I love you” (that you might miss): - “I researched your problem. Here are your options” - “I made a spreadsheet/ list/ plan to help you” - being ourselves around you (infodumping, not masking etc) - “Here’s a meme that I think you’d like” #AutismAwareness

It’s been a pleasure working with Lex and everyone in the politics vertical at Teen Vogue. I’m heartbroken that my column, Disability Visibility, is gone. Teen Vogue was one of the few places that published disabled journalists regularly. I just spent the last 2 months working on my next column

Calling on the #historians! I just filled out Amy's survey, if you want to help her out as well - it's only three questions, and I know she'd appreciate your input!

Just had my Implanon birth control implant replaced today & paid less than $100 total, including the initial consult, the implant itself + the procedure to remove the last one & insert the new one (it goes in your upper arm, if you're not familiar). It lasts 3 years. I love Australian Medicare!

He knows who's been naughty and nice, but he's not going to tell.

Here's what people don't get about the social model vs medical model of disability (i.e. it's not your condition disabling you, it's society's refusal to allow for different kinds of people). Ableism hurts *everyone* and accommodations help people without that disability. 🧵 (1/5)

Me on Zillow tomorrow looking at the NYC real estate that will definitely be left behind by the weenies who swore they’d move to Texas
