I think prescribed gender roles are trash. But I also have a terrible urge to shame right-wing men using said gender roles. For instance:

I just made my husband pause a movie so I could talk about a vintage guitar in said movie. How have I become the guys I dated in my twenties? Ooof

My oldest sister, who was my first, best friend, had four great, big loves: our little nieces, the Palestinian people, national parks, and church camps. She died three years ago this month. Every day I wake up to more news that makes me glad she isn't here for any of this. I carry such fury

When i travel out of the south, I still cannot be confident my fellow white people aren't fascist, racist, or both. But at least I can relax knowing that the ants just want to move a rubber tree plant or whatever ants do instead of wanting to kill us all

I've been throwing Iran-Contra in Reagan fanboys' faces since I was a medium-sized child, with glorious effect. I didn't actually know what was until hearing an old @yourewrongabout.bsky.social episode today. So.

Today I was given verbal driving directions, and they were this: "it's about two blocks from the big ol' church. You know the one. It used to be the UnTied Methodist. Now it's something else. I just call it the racist old white lady church."

That "he stole my heart, so I stole his name" slogan on disposable crap made for newly engaged women is beyond cringey. Ma'am, you didn't steal shit: the patriarchy foisted it upon you, and you failed to notice. That being said, I know one man whose name I'd steal: Tennessee Trashbag, Andy Ogles.

A cool thing happening in public health right now? I'm getting all my masking recommendations and general infectious disease news by observing reliable looking women in the grocery store. I think COVID rates are up: Miss Beverly has her mask on.

I know a woman who, several times each day, gathers her elderly father in her arms and carries him to the bathroom as casually and as easily as if he were a toddler. I would, she told me once, feel a lot better if I could fist fight just one of these Trump bastards.

Liberal White people's well-meaning attempts to educate immigrant communities about ICE is such big Evangelical youth group mission trip to Mexico energy. Support existing immigrant-led organizations with community relationships! And maybe don't hand out tracts while posing for Instagram?

Tell me why I sent my senator a deeply emotional, well-reasoned email pleading with her save Medicaid and got one back that said, in essence, "glad you love a balanced budget too, girlypop!! 🎉🎉⚱️"

Bad news, party people. It's supposed to rain all weekend here in Tuscaloosa. We've made the difficult decision to call off the outdoor event scheduled for Sunday, May 18 with @markwheelerii.bsky.social. We'll reschedule soon!

I have a flat tire, so I called roadside assistance to come change it. I can change a tire! But I am wearing a dress & heels and am at work. They wanted, in addition to the monthly fee I pay for such a service, $60. I asked why, and the guy on the phone said it's probably because Alabama is so rural

Today, at the doctor, I said "The Horrors," which is my catch-all phrase for the news these days. She thought I said the whores, which i would never. And now I'm like "what does one do after seeming insufficiently feminist and kind in front of health care professional? Send an apology cheesecake?"

Donald Trump is coming to Tuscaloosa. And we are not into it. In fact, Alabamians are organizing what may turn out to be the biggest single-day protest in state history. Meet up for a @indivisible.org & @50501movement.bsky.social march at Government Plaza on May 1 starting at 4pm or...

Apparently her checkbook was in there. Two things: 1) no young person carries a checkbook in lo this modern age, so somebody spent a lot trying to look like a... I wanna say... a 31 year old who's had a terrible accident? And 2) somebody has a chance to do some high-larious forgery. ACLU, maybe?
