Up until 10 years ago, I thought I was living through the best of times (ATMs! Caller ID! Salted desserts! The internet!), only to realize now that these are the very worst, most embarrassing of times (Robots steal creativity! White men prevail! The death of science and education! The internet!)

They don’t care about fairness to women athletes. If they did, they wouldn’t scrub evidence of our success from history. They don’t care about women’s safety in bathrooms. Otherwise they’d go after men who violate women. They don’t care about Jewish people. Otherwise they wouldn’t be sieg-heil-ing.

Please know that underneath everything I do (getting dressed, going to meetings) there’s this sweaty, red-faced voice screeching FUCKKKK YOUUU at all the selfish, greedy liars running our country right now, like a relentless deathmetal soundtrack.

Some good things are still happening!
Major news! A court in Montana has just declared SB458, a bill that "defines sex" in a way that ends the legal recognition of transgender people in Montana, as facially unconstitutional.
This is the first time a bill defining sex has been ruled on!
Huge win for trans people in MT!

Instances of haptic nostalgia (“the poignant memory of the physicality of an obsolete thing”) include shifting gears in a manual transmission, pulling the edges off of dot matrix printer paper, and twisting the phone cord around your finger. [bsky.app]

as an anthropologist, one of my academic specialisations is authoritarianism & revolutionist practice in response to it
one of my research foci for 3+ years was the social processes of a society's descent into authoritarianism.
my historian mentor once told me:
it happens slowly, then all at once.

Each day I ask my teeth, “You want Regular or The Works?” Most mornings (and the occasional nooner) it’s Regular, but nights we go all out: cracks flossed, mouth washed, lips balmed, and each individual tooth lovingly brushed, buffed, and detailed.

I keep seeing this reference to public bathrooms as women's "private spaces" and I just do not understand it. Strangers are strangers even when they're women! We're not communing in there for hours at a time, talking about perimenopause and who's getting divorced and shaving our legs.

The logistics, timing skills, basic math, and ability to follow complicated instructions that go into the 3-day lead-up to a colonoscopy are so impressively involved, I now think this is what we should be using as the screening to qualify for every job in America.

Okay I think I may have the answer? Woke up with these words in my head: “just use the double-eyed can-opener trick”
