It sounds like Heather Radke, @Radiolab , and @MaintenancePod need to have a butt collab!!!

[Sebastian M. Barr, Ph.D. @DrSebastianBarr]

We need infrastructure support for trans and queer refugees here. Housing shortages, long waits for safe healthcare, high cost of living. I like this campaign but I'd like to hear what the state is doing to address these barriers.

[Lauren Anderson @LAWhims_Whimsy]

@RottenInDenmark @MaintenancePod Love you both. Can't help but share some info--in the "boring" intro from Dobson he uses a homophobic slur, "patsy"

@HeidiNCloset You know they need to change all stars rules when the most amazing, funniest queens don't stay--you and DeLa. You're wonderful

Though I could focus my analysis on the young woman's madras headwrap or pelerine, since I more often focus on the dress of enslaved people in archival photos. What captivates my attention the most is her intense gaze, searing with a mixture of anger and disgust. In the early days of photographic technology, it was not unusual for enslavers to commission photos that included enslaved people under the pretense of affective bonds. There are innumerable examples of photographs of enslaved women posed alongside or holding their white charges. However, this daguerreotype in particular lays bare the intimate violence that slavery, particularly domestic slavery, depended on.

@HeidiNCloset You and LaLaRi were the best by far

@DrSebastianBarr My dad would take a granola bar and a banana as his lunch to work... When work was a 15 mile hike in the desert. So yes.

@DrSebastianBarr The Western Mass housing market is wild and not welcoming.

[Lauren Anderson @LAWhims_Whimsy]

@MaintenancePod I love everything about you and the show....except that there's a thin woman on your Twitter feed. Maybe a new header photo? :)

[Lauren Anderson @LAWhims_Whimsy]

@SmartAssJen I had a similar experience and then when I finally got the mammogram, got shamed for being there bc it was just normal tissue. And being there itself was so hard bc trans-masc spectrum. Sigh.

[Sebastian M. Barr, Ph.D. @DrSebastianBarr]

I think about this a lot

[Lauren Anderson @LAWhims_Whimsy]

@lmillernpr Why are times for recipes always wrong by an order of 2 (at least)? Knife skills?

[Lauren Anderson @LAWhims_Whimsy]

@lmillernpr How do people with skin problems use fingerprint scanners?

[Lauren Anderson @LAWhims_Whimsy]

@lmillernpr I would like to know how the French, famously svelte and suave, eat croissants, the messiest of pastries, without getting covered in flakes.

[Lauren Anderson @LAWhims_Whimsy]
