I have never once seen any special protections on access to menstrual products for those with #disabilities in #prison. I assume they are expected to purchase them like everyone else, even if they are unable to work a job. #menstrualequity #womensrights

This past weekend, we visited the park closest to where Peppercorn’s ashes were spread in the Sound. Evvi Aftercare and Resting Waters made this possible by giving us the exact coordinates of where they spread her remains. It is very helpful to know she’s in a beautiful place.

You can enjoy Thanksgiving carbs and also acknowledge that it is a fraught holiday tied to a history of genocide and the erasure of Native Americans. Now more than ever, we must be honest about history and include a seat for everyone at our tables.

In the past two weeks I have attended my first conference, had two major collaborations published, had my first academic manuscript accepted for publication, found a third board member, filed for incorporating my nonprofit, presented at Tufts, and been interviewed by the news. I am le tired.

I’d rather be a ‘piggy’ than a motherfucking rapist. 😑 #trump

I guess you could say I have been a bit busy!

I grew up with the Rescuers Down Under and remember how DEVASTATED I was in the brief scene when Cody's mother is calling for him after his kidnapping. I still believe Australia is a magical place of golden eagles. I knew John Candy's voice before I knew him by name. www.polygon.com/the-rescuers...

Rest in power @sfdirewolf.bsky.social. You were and are an inspiration.

In DC for the American Society of Criminology annual meeting! Look for me around or come find me at poster session II, Thursday evening, 7:30-8:30!

On my way to the annual @amersoccriminology.bsky.social meeting in DC! Looking forward to seeing old friends and presenting important research! Find me at poster session II!

Extremely clear that some Democrats think murdering people is good policy too

I want so badly for Alison and Noel to show up at Iain and Dervla’s wedding in the most amazing outfits. #GBBO

Handsome partner, @rss.coffee, and I are watching Murder, She Wrote from beginning to end. Angela Lansbury was such a great performer, as was Jerry Orbach. Crazy how some episodes are still so progressive!

This just won my brain

Fuck your racist, Islamophobic, sex offender bullshit. Fuck the spineless Democratic establishment.

One of my besties said maybe we can get back to the good timeline if Cheney dies on the same day @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social wins, and I want this for all of us. 🤞🏻🙏🏻👏🏻

The cruelty of those who claim no one needs SNAP and people are ‘just lazy’ is breathtaking and provably wrong for those who still care about facts. Here is my son as a poppy flower in case you need some joy and light.

Hard not to reflect on how almost any other modern President would have promised assistance to Jamaica, even a token amount

My hot take of the day is that #GBBO Paul and Prue bring the experience and knowledge, Noel brings the quirky humor, and Alison brings the joy with a dash of sex appeal. 😘💅🏻💃🏾🧁🍞💋

Standard prison processes punish menstruators, make it even harder to afford products, and treat menstrual products as dangerous luxuries instead of basic necessities. #womensrights #periodpoverty #periodsinprison #menstrualequity

Israel’s failure to uphold the ceasefire was predictable, but still heartbreaking. It feels like the death of the first hope I felt in years.

He is the biggest asshole but I love him so freakin much and he’s also photogenic as hell. #cats #pets #cute

My niece has been Bat-Mitzvah-ed, and my pride and joy is an island of comfort in an ocean of the daily wtf we live in. L’chaim, to life. ❤️

I’m traveling so obviously I miss my cats! LOOK AT THESE GOOD GOOD BOYS! 🥹

It feels wasteful, but I love long showers and baths. It’s the one place where I feel like I can hide away from the world. I took so many long showers during my dissertation that I gave myself a skin rash. 😓 It feels like America is tryna get me there again.

Israel is committing genocide, a black man was found hanging from a tree in MS, and Jimmy Kimmel was fired after gov’t pressure for suggesting the man who killed famed asshole Charlie Kirk was right-leaning, wtf is even happening

You can recognize that violence is bad (and, yes, you DO need to say this in the US) without praising a racist, sexist, transphobic piece of shit who made the world that killed him. Fuck Charlie Kirk forever, and everything he stood for. Hope his family and the traumatized Utah students are ok.

Sometimes I just read this piece aloud to myself and cry, because it resonates so strongly and makes me feel so seen. evolve.reconstructingjudaism.org/on-finding-o...

There is no reason to vote for any Democrat who supports genocide in Gaza and the erasure of Jewish dissent. There is no reason to donate to general funds that support those who funded Trump’s cuts so Schumer could go on a book tour. There is no reason to support a party that hates Mamdani and Fateh

Papa has brought home a mew toy, so the babies are occupied for the next few months.

Hot take of the day: the Minecraft movie was fine. Why did so many people get upset? It was ridiculous and silly and weird, which it was meant to be. Also, the role Jason Momoa was born to play.

TELL MY SON HE’S HANDSOME, DANGIT! 😡❤️

There are five instances I’ve found of sexual abuse through control over menstrual products from 2011-2021. Four had to be corroborated from personal testimony in news since lawyers lumped these items in with ‘contraband’ and ‘personal hygiene items.’ This makes it impossible to track.

Calling all bloggers, academics, advocates, and formerly confined menstruators! The Prison Flow Project is starting a monthly blog on #periodpoverty in places of confinement. Looking for 1,500 to 2,000 word submissions with various perspectives. Submit through [email protected]

I just found out my friend Ahmed in Gaza lives in Gaza City. He does not want to evacuate. I am spending my day crying as I see how this may be one of the last days I speak to him. I am sharing this so you see, this is one of millions. Every life there is affected by this. Every single life.

Every time an academic asks me to cite the complete lack of documentation showing menstrual products are a threat in prison, I want to bang my head against a wall.

Genuinely incredible that she's saying this with 2 accused rapists on either side of her

Been meaning to do this forever but have honestly been scared. Starting a nonprofit is a huge amount of work. I’m almost 40, and I’m tired. But I don’t see anyone else championing this necessary work!

Strictly Ballroom is a cinematic masterpiece and if you disagree I will, respectfully, have to fight you.

Claiming that Judaism requires starvation, ethnic cleansing, and genocide is the most antisemitic bullshit I’ve ever heard. We will never accept your lies, we will never stop fighting you.

I ordered a nice print version of my dissertation (dx.doi.org/10.7488/era/...) from ProQuest. Gonna put a nice print of Judy Chicago's 'Red Flag' as the inside title page. Widely accepted as one of the first depictions of #menstruation in Western contemporary art. #womensart #socialscience #prison

Both of my former U.S. senators support halting arms deals with Israel. How did your senators vote? Check the list (Nay = pro-sending Israel weapons, Yea = anti weapons for Israel), and call your senators to urge them to stop supporting forced starvation! www.senate.gov/legislative/...

My heart is a temple, profaned with the blood of innocents. evolve.reconstructingjudaism.org/on-finding-o...

The horror and shame I feel at everything happening in Gaza is too profound for words, but it exists and I am tired of attempts to silence and ignore it. Peace is not antisemitic.

Today, I really missed my precious girl. She was perfect, and she was mine, and I was hers. And now she is gone, and I will never hear her chirp again.
