Very happy for Unwieldy Creatures to be on this Frankie list!! theportalist.com/frankenstein...

The last time I saw Jubi Arriola-Headley he bowed at my feet & showered me with love. We didn’t see each other often but we had such a tender connection. I was honored to publish his kilt essay at @justfemmeanddandy.bsky.social. I’m not ready to accept he’s gone. A tremendous kind fierce spirit.

Curious if academic folks have read any scholarly articles looking at race on tv you could link me? Looking for specific pieces you found illuminating. If it's Asian-focused, even better. I've been grumpy about a mixed Asian girl trope for long enough & I finally just need to write about it! 😂😭

Show me your favorite author websites, please? Can also shout out your own! Looking for minimalist, clean look 👀

It is absolutely wild that the person in charge of health in America has be roundly condemned and labeled as dangerous by: - Former CDC directors - Former Surgeons General - Multiple medical professional societies - Health professionals across multiple platforms And still holds his position.

People from all over are showing up for DC. This is not a moment. It’s a movement. We are united in our demands. We are all DC! #FreeDC

Got my Covid and flu vax scheduled for Monday! Pretty happy, considering I live in TX. Yay for Costco!

🚨 UPDATE on the current COVID vaccine access situation in the US. Please note that this is based on state laws but different things may be happening on the ground, and some pharmacies are defaulting to federal guidelines instead of state laws.

Yes DC!

The damage this man has done is incalculable.
