It is indeed my birthday, so my present to my Executive Committee is to refer to resolution 200-05-1 by its official title here on my official account: “Defending Shared Governance in Texas.” And your present to me is to share this widely!

✨ Meet Izzy. At 16, he’s already a fierce advocate.
Living with autism, Medicaid gives him the care to thrive, go to school, and live his best life.
Families like Izzy’s shouldn’t have to fight for care, yet Trump’s cuts put kids at risk.

Just a reminder: we have the war powers act because of Nixon. Saying it’s unconstitutional now is, well, bizarre at best. Totalitarian at worst.

As Me Made May closes, I ended it in a dress from Draper James fabric and a dupe of a Draper James dress (there’s a slight ruffle and folded edge on the bottom, and I included pockets. Maybe I’ll kick insomnia tonight, as you can tell I’m lacking sleep. #memademay #draperjames

Crocheted tank again, for Me Made May. Repeats should be expected. I did wear the wrong bra with it, but oh well. As I draft some of my epic summer sh!t I do. The tank in action, and Bourbon looking at me like a piece of meat, his lost marble, or…#crochet #memademay

Me Made May: my Calvin Warp Dress in a rayon and cotton blend. Favorite parts are the French seams & the reused strap sliders I painted with nail polish to match. A crocheted cotton shawlette for a gift: something I made as of recent. #memademay #handmade #slowfashion #crochet #calvinwrapdress

The nationalism scholar wants to discuss the power of national & communal memory, the economic power of defense, & the geopolitical place of presence. The patriot wants to acknowledge the actions of civil & military defense, the fight for national independence, & the protection of the Union. 1/3

No one experiencing the tragedy of a miscarriage should be arrested, much less abandoned in jail for 5 months with a $100k bond. But that’s exactly what happened to Mallori Patrice Strait in Texas. Women, particularly women of color, in this country are no longer allowed dignity even in extreme loss

Me Made May on a rainy day, post finals grading but not done as one school doesn’t end for three weeks. It’s the life. My Phen Shirt from Pattern Fantastique in the Valentino silk I picked up in Paris. I do enjoy the airy design and high-low hem. #phenshirt #memademay #handmade #valentino

Me Made May: athletes have leg day, Me Made gets bag day. My leather backpack purse I tote around a decent amount, my project bag with a pair of socks I’m working on in it, and my well worn cosmo bag I that holds groceries and dead dreams. #memademay #handmade #slowfashion

Hysterical left wing nutters at Cato at it again
Cato has published my comprehensive review of the ~240 Venezuelans the US government renditioned 2 months ago to Salvador’s notorious prison. We identified FIFTY who came legally, never violated any immigration law, but are imprisoned at the US government’s request and at US taxpayer expense.

Me Made. Scrap knit from a dress I made in 2021. My shirt: Plantain Tee, a free one from the old Deer and Doe. The sleeves are smaller, so I increased them two sizes. Before anyone freaks out: there’s one key for my door; it’s just old NYC. #memademay #deeranddoepatterns #plantaintee

Me Made is sometimes just about the space and spaces. Besides, I’m grading and look—well—the dark side of frightening. Hair all over, untamed, good times… the wall hanging is an absolute favorite. #memademay #professorlife
