Not sure I’ve anything with a modicum of substance to contribute, but I’m here to learn and be moved by a community of voices.

Today, a student moved me with heartfelt thanks. She knows my best weapon: helping students hone sharp critical eyes and ready open minds. Pry it from my cold dead hands.

Just a reminder that this medication is healthcare. In 2008, I found out I was pregnant. One month later, that embryo had no signs of life. I asked for a D&E so as not to endure a loss while at work.

My cervix is Ft. Knox.

Mifepristone and methotrexate kept me from possibly dying of sepsis.

Teen Vogue took young people seriously. It's impossible to overstate how important, how rare, and how profoundly needed that is.

Camp Freddy for the private birthday party of Keith Lieberthal, who is married to Julianna Margolis. It was bonkers that I was there, more so that I was there standing next to Sebastian Bach while he was geeking out watching Glenn Hughes sing “Highway Star.” Setlist: www.setlist.fm/setlist/camp...

🧵 1/4 “I’m Afraid of Americans”

Like Wordsworth returning to Tintern Abbey, I revisit this chorus that continues to evolve in meaning for me across decades. Oh, Mr. Bowie and Mr. Eno. It got way worse. #fuckice

The Supreme Court’s conservatives bear SO much blame for this disaster. They really thought they could let Trump fire every agency leader EXCEPT members of the Fed, and Trump would abide by their stern admonition to leave the Fed alone. Embarrassing stupidity. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...

I am America.

I read.

I know.

I am a mom raising my kids to know better.

I am a wife whose partner shares the same lens I view the world with.

I am a teacher continuing to promote critical thinking.

I am a woman who will 1000% tread on your clown crown if you end up on my path.

To throwback to late 90s NJ slang, no derrrrrrrrr!!!
The current leaders of the FBI have “no idea what they’re doing,” according to outgoing employees—and, most frightening, an ideological loyalty to the Trump administration over a responsibility to serve the public.

Vivid memory: age 3, hiding behind the couch while dad was BLASTING Iron Man, cleaning the house while mom shopped for groceries. Absolute trauma. Legit scared. Later, we bonded when Shot in the Dark and Ultimate Sin were heavily rotating on MTV. Made peace with my name spelling (Aimee) bc of Ozzy.
