Tiny-dicked father dropping off snot-faced daughter on phone revs engine and honks horn at me multiple times even though I'm just standing in doorway waiting for doordash. I guess that's threatening to tiny-dick? Btw I've decided I'm going to start taking walks! 😁😁😁

just a gentle reminder that a person of faith can be a scathing critique of their own religion; some of the most subversive critiques of religions come from within them. People are also free to seriously doubt their faith tradition and that, too, is an under-recognized part of faith.

I turn on music to transport me, to ease my mind, to drown out the sound of their engines. Where am I going? New York, France, Arabia, anywhere. Music is life. Music is resistance. As I write this, it is still dark, everyone is still asleep. I am alone with the sound of traffic.

I lie here in bed at 6 in the morning. It is dark out. I listen to the hum of the engine of the car outside. During the night, when I have woken up, there is the car again, pulling up, engine humming, revving. Sometimes someone will open and slam a door.

By characterizing abortion as health care, international orgs have pushed back against abortion exceptionalism. The World Health Organization recognizes that “[a]bortion is a simple health care intervention.” Numerous countries have adopted laws and policies to align with WHO recommendations.

Language games mean people can use "piggy" to refer simultaneously to Trump and a coded other. If you're repeating the insult as a way to get out aggression toward a woman without suffering consequences, you're a coward and just as much a misogynist as Trump.

Texas' abortion ban has killed another woman.

Let's be very clear: Republicans are killing women. Democrats need to start calling them murderers loudly and often.

I've looked after all kinds of people on two continents over the course of my career, but my passion remains providing safe and affirming clinical care to families most likely to be treated indifferently at best, and I've had the most flexibility to do that outside of institutions.

As good a day as any for a brief return. Rain pours endlessly, night exhales blue smoke. We mourn Proust and trace how he has marked us. Commemorations and silent anniversaries, and all around, the world suspended in a melancholic dream of remembered time.

Not much easier being the parent of a disabled adult either.

If you're the parent of a disabled kid, I just want to tell you I know it's hard and I know you feel like you're failing constantly, but you're doing it and you're doing the best you can and your kid absolutely loves you for it.

That kind of generosity, this passion, is how we defeat fascism.

your last saved meme is your moral philosophy

--soft-focus independent film drama about lives of fucked-up teenage girls
-- silly vampire movie somehow involves an art heist
--Whimsical, sad Italian films where sadness doubles as laughter
--Polish film camera uses odd angles and heavy Catholic symbolism to depict absurdity
-- Jim Jarmusch
- Oh shit I murdered someone, what to do with the body?
- sweaty desperation filmed by expressionist exile
- Sci-fi, but not written and/or directed by a moron
- people doing something complicated, possibly criminal, meticulously & professionally & yet with a fatal flaw
- everything falls apart
What are your top 5 movie genres? Mine are:

- A meticulously planned heist goes horribly wrong;
- 1950s Mexican melodrama;
- Doomed romance, preferably 1940s/‘50s;
- Anything featuring Cary Grant;
- French noir, preferably with JP Belmondo, Lino Ventura or Alain Delon

Glad people are finding comfort with their Autism diagnoses, but as a mother of a non-verbal autistic man there's no therapy or occupational services for him, no community and no representation. And I'm scared to death what RFK Jr might do to autistic people in the future.
