She/her. Salty AF. Asexual. Rants a lot. Enunciates profanity clearly like a fucking lady. Grammarian extraordinaire. Antifascist. Black lives matter. ACAB.

.@aliettedb All grudges and no admiration is how I live my life.

[Ginny Tea @ginnikin]

@jlphistory YIKES! I'm glad you're getting care and good drugs. I hope it all goes well and you're feeling better soon.

[Ginny Tea @ginnikin]

@sakuralovestea They think I won't fight anyone who maligns potatoes, no matter who they are.

[Ginny Tea @ginnikin]

That monster I married has filled the house with fresh-baked milk bread. So. Rude.

@jlphistory Pet peeves about shit students pull? (Too misanthropic & anti-social?)

[Ginny Tea @ginnikin]

A sample of current reading: "The mental health professionals who are trauma-informed recognize that many people who use mental health and addiction services have histories of trauma, which contribute to their mental health and addiction problems."

Who wrote this?

[Ginny Tea @ginnikin]

@zone_pelagique ❤❤❤ I thought it might be same org, based on some of the stuff you've said here. Sure looks like they're pulling some shady shit on you.

I'm also mad that Dickens made her change the name of her novel "Molly Gibson" to "Wives and Daughters". #ForeverMadAtDickens

Molly Gibson is one of the best characters ever, and a well-behaved woman, to boot.

Today is #ElizabethGaskell’s birthday! I’m grateful to have been led to her work filled with insight into the human condition and a bit of humor about all of it.

[Ginny Tea @ginnikin]

I'm still so mad about how long I wanted someone Austen-like* but not Austen before I found out about Gaskell.

*Not an imitator, but she, Austen, and Wharton are writing about similar things for a similar audience.

People deserve empathy and care regardless of productivity, regardless of history, regardless of their contribution to society - regardless, even, of whether or not they're and asshole. (That last one is the tough one for me.)

[Ginny Tea @ginnikin]

Something I really internalised this summer is that when things like empathy and care are conditional - good person, no history of drugs, &c. - then they can be revoked. That's not empathy or care.

Anyone know offhand how to switch domains in outlook online? A quick search has confused me more, and I thought maybe someone here might have info before I do a deep dive. TIA!

[Ginny Tea @ginnikin]

Ugh. Everything this term is so 101-level, and it's frustrating the hell out of me. Add in mental health turmoil as a result of digging into some stuff in therapy this summer, and the stress and worry about, well, everything, and I'm not having the best time. (Understatement.)

[Ginny Tea @ginnikin]

@aliettedb @D_Libris @Aerie_Faerie I feel ya.

(I would totes read your fun high drama, but I'm not complaining about more "Aliette takes on power structures".)

[Ginny Tea @ginnikin]

@zone_pelagique Is there anyone you can talk to about that? Someone in the new organization? Are you in a union?

You don't have to just accept the changes they're making and suffer the consequences.

[Ginny Tea @ginnikin]

@aliettedb @D_Libris @Aerie_Faerie @aliettedb But...but...but why would you accept a brief with that requirement?

[Ginny Tea @ginnikin]
