Remember when the titular leader of our country wasn’t 12?

Mother of god. I’m dealing with college freshmen who are having fantods because “that’s so political!”

Topic: do vaccines cause autism?

It’s funny. I’m a flaming agnostic and my catchphrase has become “Christ almighty.”

Went to a Transgender Day of Visibility event wearing my Free Mom Hugs shirt. Gave many hugs to young people. The ones who broke me are those who cried at getting a mom hug.

We have got to do better.

Happy Trans Day of Visibility! Whether you are out or not, just questioning, or somewhere in-between, you are valid and matter. Gender is a wonderful diverse spectrum and being ourselves makes the world a better brighter place. Support trans people on #TDOV and always. 🏳️‍⚧️

As the ipso facto “mom” of a group of neurodivergent, genderqueer family of students, the only advice I have is GET OUT. And let me know you’re okay. Because I worry.

You know you've found your people when they stand up for you even when you're out of the room.

Thanks, Bluesky peeps. You're the best.

@flaviaelphberg.bsky.social Judith Beheading Holofernes is a big fave here. Also, I saw a student’s gender reversal (a painting she did) and it was creepy AF.

LGBTQ+ is not a classification, club or identity.

It's a mutual defense pact.

Rhetorical question: So what does it mean when your transitioning child says “I’m moving to CDMX”?
