Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately
![Hello Bone Colleagues,
I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans.

Sometimes my wife and I like to send each other text messages as though they’re democratic fundraising messages, and I believe she has produced the jewel of the form.

Your periodic reminder that the decision to pursue a professional ballet career happens at similar or earlier age to most youth gender affirming care and has significantly more lifetime impact on peer socialization, how the body looks and overall health than social transition and puberty blockers.

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a great ride, must be in want of a race.
Bro! Tell me we still know how to speak about drivers! In the old days,
everyone knew what men were; Fast, Furious, glory-bound. Only stories now, but I'll sound the Family's song, hoarded for hungry times.

Sing, O Muse, of the Fury of the Fast, La Familia, that brought countless ills upon the roadways.

As you may know, I have stopped using Twitter, and have decided to reproduce some of my more memorable threads here for posterity. Here’s one I hold wrote after a particularly engaging swordfighting lesson.

I had the brilliant idea of requesting Judy Cuevas' Bliss and Dance from my university's interlibrary loan and man, you people were not kidding. These books are fantastic. They need to be back in print IMMEDIATELY.

I have an ongoing fantasy about a certain billionaire waking up one night with a gun in his face while someone patiently explains that she's the only member of her family left due to entirely preventable deaths caused by USAID's demolition, and does he have any last words??

I have seen Coyote vs. Acme! It was delightful and everyone should go check it out, which I don't just say because it features the Biopark, among other excellent shooting locales.

Still thinking about Jane Schoenbrun's TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA. I'm not qualified to write much about its trans allegory, but it has plenty more to offer. Here I argue that even without being horror it's a deeper exploration of slasher movies than most of those meta ones.

I just remembered, for the first time in a very long time, that when I was very little I was somewhat confused about Dolly Parton and Barbie and thought that they were somehow the same, which I think Dolly would have appreciated.

I can now say definitively that Dolly Parton never once disappointed me in her entire life, unlike Loretta Lynn.
