Miscellaneously queer AuDHD public health academic, who spends way too much time playing TTRPGs and MDing musical theatre. Leftist, musician, nerd. *Definitely* not my professional account.

So my husband and I were never particularly set on having kids, but because being a parent is normative we figured we'd get around to it, yeah?
It was always "Once we've been married for a few years... Once we've stabilised our careers... After we move back closer to family..."

We regularly heard hugely successful women—women who were hitting lists!—saying how grateful they were that their husband also did labor in their marriage, so that she was able to continue to work a full time job with extremely flexible hours that probably brought in six figures a year.

So a long long time, when I was very young, I got married to a guy after the second time I failed out of college, and we got along fine and didn’t have too many problems when he saw me as a dropout who was supporting him by working full time while he finished a college degree.
One of the things that was common listening to (almost entirely women) give acceptance speeches for winning awards for writing romance novels was how many of them praised their husbands for doing basic household chores.
Once you realize that a lot of men only value their wives in terms of what they do for them or for their children/families, you can't unsee how almost all of the praise from men to their wives has nothing to do with them personally and everything to do with the quality of service.

Journal likes our paper but editor wants to change our distinctive, slightly quirky title to one that aligns with "house style". Have told editor I will die on this hill. IT IS NOT THE EDITOR'S JOB TO MAKE ALL TITLES EQUALLY BORING. #academicsky

This is why I pay @theguardian.com money every month; even though I could read it for free, journalism costs money. If we don't pay for independent media, we get shit.
Everyone I know in journalism has been laid off at least once if not multiple times. My journalist husband is in grad school to change careers. Sites running with a skeleton crew or shutting down outright. You have to pay for shit now.

A fascinating read: outside my academic wheelhouse, but very much inside my lived experience.
This is your reminder that the sex/gender distinction was first proposed by the most famous Christian author of the 20th century.

never gonna get over how one of the alleged leading international corporate assassins in the world who is currently in jail in the UK for a planned hit she flew over to execute is a lady nobodys ever heard of whose day job was office worker for the Brewers
Do any of you ever meet someone, and wonder, what are your secret crimes? How many murder for hires have you done? Are you having endless "business" trips where you are fronting Mafia business abroad? Are you actually a spy? Don't "I'm just an accountant" me, Fred. I know what you're hiding.

There's something comfortably domestic about eating pub takeaway on the couch while watching a friend play sport on a YouTube live stream. Maybe I should do more of this.

Oh man, now I have to figure out how to work Calvin and the Protestant ethic into my planned "fatphobia in public health can fuck right off" workshop...

I really need someone to publish an "entertaining weirdos" starter pack. Like, where is my list full of the BlueSky equivalents to the guy in a fairy outfit who drops deeply meaningful statements or side splitting observational comedy at you and then rolls away on his blade scooter?
