Listen, you better make sure whatever you need to get done is right in front of you when those ADHD meds kick in. Otherwise you could end up spending 7 hours mapping which Law & Order actors have appeared in every other TV show in an Excel spreadsheet
Renee was one of my students years ago. I held her baby. She was kind and talented, a working class mom who put herself through school despite circumstances that would’ve crumpled the pathetic rich boy politicians who sadistically abetted her murder
God damn them all
@PaulAtNorthGare I was thinking of how upset new authors must be with their cover blurbs from him. It’s not like the publishers would be willing to reprint.
It’s not the worst crime to be left on his doorstep. But it still sucks.
You can’t be a “party girl” at 13.
You can’t consent to sex at 13.
You’re not “down with it” at 13.
This was rape. It’s always been rape. It will always be rape.
I’m so tired of rape apologists trying to normalize pedophilia.
These were children.
@AdrianaMaestas It’s been amazing - my stress level dropped *so* much. Not having internet or mobile service for weeks was unexpected but a fantastic break from the dark political and academic news. I’m not looking forward to plugging back in to it all. 😬
I often think that I should just delete my account and step away from here, but then I’ll see a painting of capybaras being abducted by aliens and I decide to stick around for at least a little longer…
I spent a fair bit of time today thinking. This song, sung so often with ever changing lyrics, kept running through my head until finally I started to sing too.

Actually, it's worse than that.
There *are* tons of ICE raids in Texas right now, and there are the same kinds of protests you're seeing in L.A. going on in Houston and San Antonio... but Trump is only threatening to use the National Guard in California. Not Texas.
I was just informed Trump is deploying another 2,000 Guard troops to L.A.
The first 2,000? Given no food or water. Only approx. 300 are deployed — the rest are sitting, unused, in federal buildings without orders.
This isn’t about public safety. It’s about stroking a dangerous President’s ego.
This is Reckless. Pointless. And Disrespectful to our troops.
Currently in LA. Sunny, highs in the low 70s, people trying to get through their Monday. What else? Oh, yeah, the mayor and governor are threatened with arrest by Trump’s “czar”, and marines are deployed in the city. LA Times headline right now:
Can someone point me to a good explanation of what's going on with WordPress and whether, given that I don't host with WP Engine or https://t.co/AECYBZledE whether I need to care?
