Happy new decade, friends.

Let’s ask for help in the areas where we could use support, and give freely in the areas where we have abundance, and be glad that we contain multitudes.

[Marisa Debowsky @MarisaDebowsky]

@GregHBurnham I do use this in everyday conversation, yes. (And I’m not a native speaker, but I’ve heard native speakers use it.) I get a kick out of the archaic vibes!

[Marisa Debowsky @MarisaDebowsky]

@JSEllenberg We 1000% fight against this, yep.

[Marisa Debowsky @MarisaDebowsky]

@JSEllenberg Oof. This essay made me so deeply sad.

[Marisa Debowsky @MarisaDebowsky]

@sonya_sadovaya Glad I logged back into this weird site to see this. Mazel tov! 🎉

[Marisa Debowsky @MarisaDebowsky]

Starting the process of migrating off of Twitter; I’m on the blue app at the same handle. Find me there or ping me about staying in touch!

Feeling sad about having to archive all these years here of snark and nice things, but turning 40 is a good opportunity for a clean slate.

It’s a math word day!

[Marisa Debowsky @MarisaDebowsky]

@DaveJensenMath Wow!! Lovely.

@pwr2dppl I use Scannable (made by evernote); it works basically perfectly.

Fun backstory to a classic!

@havi ❤️❤️ exactly

[Marisa Debowsky @MarisaDebowsky]

@havi I’m sticking with “pre-vaccine phase” and “current phase” (calculations are different but they sure still are calculations) of the pandemic as nomenclature, no matter how much wishful thinking goes into the “what pandemic?? surely that’s over” fantasy.

[Marisa Debowsky @MarisaDebowsky]

@nogoodtulip Wow, cool!

@CubbyPau Accurate 🤦‍♀️

Lots of good food for thought ⬇️. My Juneteenth this year includes:
- donating to my local org https://t.co/PubCKwBe6y (support Black joy!)
- digging into my always-in-progress reading list to continue internally dismantling the white part of white feminism
- calling my senators

[bLAk is King @NikkiBlak]

As is the case with most conversations around appropriation and other problematic, inappropriate delusional white supremacist and entitlement behavior, instead of asking “Can I” or “Should I” celebrate Juneteenth, you ought to ask, “Why do I want to?”

It’s LIVE, y’all!

"Man Up”---my first single of 2023---is about rejecting pervasive expressions of toxic masculinity and embracing sacred masculinity.

It is now available to stream on all digital platforms.

@AutSciPerson I much prefer (a) specificity in request and (b) reasons for the requests! I’m also always nervous that I’m going to need to memorize the information that other people are saying in their introductions.

[Marisa Debowsky @MarisaDebowsky]

@GregHBurnham I know, right?? I buy their stuff, but I’ve always found that so weird.

[Marisa Debowsky @MarisaDebowsky]

@BenDeeBenDee Lovely.

I think the best blessing I have seen around this app was this:
