while I’m being cranky, access journalism needs to go. When the president does his “I’m alpha because I insulted you” thing somebody needs to fall on his sword and say “what the fuck is wrong with you, old man?” on a hot mic. the hero of the wizard of Oz is Toto.

When my son was in 1st grade, the school told me he was reading at a 3rd/4th grade level, but then adamantly refused him acess to higher level books in the library because "it will make other kids feel bad" (direct quote).
I told them to fuck off. Now we can all see why that reason was shit.

Can’t believe the whole country has to suffer through the return of Dickensian childhood diseases because the worst, most ignorant attention-demanders decided other people’s expertise makes them feel bad

"Well, I think that's all of the emails to various school people-"

"Guess I have another email to write then."

"If you had to only choose one, would it be better to judge a person by the rules they do follow or the ones they break?"

So educational! Now that my kids are done growing, I have been on a mission to source clothing that will last. No plastic leather, no cheaply made fabrics. It's so hard sometimes!

It's World Ballet Day, so I'm resharing a piece I reported for ELLE about dancers fighting for workplace protections for pregnancy, and working to change the field for the better: "We’re told we should do it ‘for the love of the art form,’ but we still have bills to pay and families to raise."

2nd Nov. 2025 marks the 25th anniversary of the ongoing human presence off-world.
That is, humans have continuously occupied the ISS for exactly 25 years today.
So if you're <= 24 years old, you've never lived in a world where humans were *only* terrestrial-based.
