A photo of me biking around Los Angeles this week after nearly becoming roadkill for the 854th time. Seriously though, why is L.A. not more bike-friendly? #BikeLA #rideordie #cyclinglife

Baby’s first picket line! #Xena Day on the #WGA line with Xena and Gabrielle (one more corporeal than the other). Thanks for the delicious tacos, @RealLucyLawless @katherinefugate @robtapert

@bardseyepodcast Late to the game (as per usual), but I have to agree with Flam. If nothing else, it gets 8/10 for being really gay. Then 9/10 for having almost no men in it. And Xena (badly?) mentoring a bunch of traumatized young Amazons is a problematic fav of mine—which brings it to 10/10.

Part of what makes @RezDogsFX a hit for Natives and non-Natives is that it extends beyond Hollywood’s long-standing stereotypes central to the Western genre. https://t.co/dRHdaG1Soh

I sometimes send my girlfriend silly love messages from The Cheese. Today, The Cheese has a very serious love message for everyone who is hurting today. #RoeVsWade #smashthepatriarchy #AbortionRightsAreHumanRights

A pest and weed control salesman had the audacity to comment on the state of the “weeds” in my yard while trying to sell me his service. I said, “Sir, do you not know that ‘weed’ is a social category, not a biological one?” #environmentalhistory #micdrop

@bardseyepodcast This is ridiculously accurate for Season 1.

[Dr. Maura Capps @mauracapps]

@EmilyWebz Of course you are. 😜

[Dr. Maura Capps @mauracapps]

@bardseyepodcast Oh no! I hope you are both on the mend now! I finally made it to my shoutout, btw. I was in a long car ride with my girlfriend (who I actually met through a mutual love of Xena, as one does) and now she thinks I’m properly cool, so…thanks for that! 🥰

When it starts to feel like all your heroes are dead, it’s nice to know there are still powerful people taking into consideration what a name on a document might mean to students or colleagues in need of a safe place. Big shoutout ⁦@JoyceChaplin1⁩ 🙌🏼 https://t.co/4yeOKp7Rhg

@bardseyepodcast Score! FYI also happy to make a guest appearance (do you call it that on a podcast?) at any point. I know fuck-all about Antiquity (don’t be deceived by my PhD in History), but I’m a highly-qualified expert in the analysis of Xena’s raised eyebrows 🤨 & other very gay things.😝
