I like tea and cocktails, long walks and yoga, and discussing #exangelical and #feminism issues ad nauseam 🏁

You wanna talk about small town America? Let's fucking talk.

In my small town, drugs were rampant. We knew which cops were dealing & which ones could be bribed with weed. We knew where the meth houses were.

Bird nests made from anti-bird spikes! 🤯 Even for me as a nest researcher, these are the craziest bird nests I've ever seen. Today my paper came out on this rebellious behaviour. And it's like telling a joke...

A thread. 🧵

For MONTHS the @MiamiSeaquarium has said they will be releasing an Orca named Lolita who has been held captive in the same tank since 1970.

They still haven’t released her & I’d like to know why the fuck her tank is looking gnarly af….

I want to push back just a little on the concept of “you can cancel any social event you don’t want to attend for any reason”. And I’m doing a thread bc I already know Twitter is going to have MANY objections 🧵/1

Beth Moore as a Case Study of SBC Misogyny, Part 2.

What's misogyny?

In the book Down Girl, Kate Manne denies that it is useful to think of misogyny as primarily a psychological phenomenon. Misogyny is not simply identified when a man concedes to hating women as a class

Beth Moore as a Case Study of SBC Misogyny: Part 1.

Anyone with a phone knows that Beth Moore is astonishingly unpopular with Christian conservatives. But why is that?

You might think that the trigger point for this evangelical superstar (who enjoyed decades of uncontroversial

When I spend time in the USA it becomes stunningly obvious why most Americans are overweight or obese.

The ingredient quality is awful, most food is full of weird additives, portion sizes are huge, sugar is in everything, and most people drive everywhere and barely exercise.

Really frustrating that my ‘22 Armada is covered in rust spots, @LiaAutoGroup Nissan dealership told us yesterday they would cover this issue under warranty, and now they are choosing to deny the service. Can’t keep their word and producing cars with faulty paint after 1 yr.

I reread @jk_rowling’s 2008 Harvard speech a lot, especially this line:

“There is an expiry date on blaming your parents for steering you in the wrong direction; the moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you.”

@thesnarkygent This sounds like an awesome book! What’s it called?

[derek guy @dieworkwear]

The issue of respectability in dress, and what constitutes "proper" attire in public, has raged for as long as people have worn clothes. People who take this position fail to recognize that their own clothes were once the "yoga pants" of their day. I will run through examples 🧵

@thesnarkygent 👋 hello, this is me! I never did cheat either - I would dutifully complete the work, grade it (tho I didn’t understand % grading, so often my grading was wrong), then move on to the next unit. And I did this while taking care of a toddler, as she was my responsibility in the AM.

Don’t be the parent your kid writes this song about. I hope her daddy hears this.

Reading @hcarolineking’s teenage homeschooled experience in her 🧵today & am reminded of another 🚩for spiritual abuse:

when teens appear to have skipped over age appropriate developmental differentiation & instead claim to sincerely want exactly what their parents want 🧵
