I know everything is on fire, but I do want to share my current big project. I’m working on a book about authenticity through the lens of feminism and geek culture. Right now I’m trying to gather data from #fangirls and would 💖 if you could fill out/share my Google form 🫶

Another day another medical procedure. I’ve found my body changing as I age and hurdle towards menopause along with genetic predispositions, but I had a bit of a scare back in September that sent me to the ER. 🧵

#FirstWorldProblems Why is it so hard to find a #corgi to adopt? We don’t want a puppy and want to rescue, not purchase. I swear Indiana is a dead zone for many of my interests.

With 2400 students, taking attendance perfectly every day isn’t very likely. Which is why we state in MULTIPLE places, if you (parents) receive an attendance notification and feel it is an error, please contact the teacher in question. 🧵/1

Dear parents and guardians of school-age students. When calling in to report your kid absent due to illness, please for the love of Rassilon PLEASE stop telling me their symptoms 😷 It’s a long cold & flu season and I will not make it if I have to hear about your kid’s vomit or other bodily fluids 🤢

The human body is so weird. Since August I’ve had blood tests, an MRI, several x-rays, an EKG, an ultrasound, and been referred to several specialists. Still no clear answers other than my body is attacking itself and it’s pissing off the structural issues in my neck as a side effect 😵💫

Good to know that a holder of a screenwriting Oscar yells "fuck off, just fuck off" at neo-Clippy just like the rest of us.

I likely have an underlying autoimmune/inflammatory condition that is causing swelling & joint problems. A ➕ ANA test & 📈 thyroid antibodies all suggest my immune system is having an unauthorized LARP 🤺This is on top of cervical stenosis with bone spurs and calcification of the tendons 😵💫

I don‘t know who needs to hear this but your support and solidarity should be with those below you in the hierarchy not above, and only with your peers if they also adhere to this principle. Historically, middle management is who keeps bad people in power.

If your kids’ names are so similar that they could be mixed up, when you call in for one of them, maybe spell it out just to make sure 👍🏻 #PSA #SchoolDayz

Look I’m a full-tilt Disney adult, I also don’t claim they are a perfect company. However when it comes to the current situation, I suggest looking higher on the corporate ladder to the parent company. A literal handful of orgs own and control major media and they are uber conservative. Follow the 💰

After living in the same place for over 16 years, hubby and I are finally ready to move on to somewhere new. Looking for a house to rent so we can finally have a yard and get a dog! The supply around here is interesting, either older homes with funky floorplans or cookie-cutter vinyl boringness.

Hubby and I are looking for a new place to live (time for a yard and a dog!) In this day and age, is having a room solely dedicated for guests a thing? We’d like to finally have our own individual office space, but one could/would also double as a guest room. #HomeSearchHasBegun

Dobson/Focus on the Family were a cornerstone of my religious upbringing. It was always on in the car and even the radio at home, plus the “bookstore” at church sold many of FotF’s materials. They literally wrote the books that guided the emotional abuse and oppression I suffered. 😠 Good riddance
