A study on what many of us already know: over 75% of internal service work in academia is done by women. The bit that gets me:”The male associate professors in particular made it clear that they actively engaged in evasiveness and did not want to participate if it was not positive for their careers”
Women end up doing the academic housework

I'm so thrilled for another Autistic horror anthology, which sounds like I'm anthropomorphizing the book. Hell, if any inanimate object could be Autistic, a book fits
Anyway, can't wait to receive my copy! I *loved* Rewired: Divergent Perspectives in Horror. So much crying.

Happy Release Day to Spectrum: An Autistic Horror Anthology! I'm honored to have gotten the chance to design the interior layout for this as part of Third Estate Books. Some of the best horror I've read this year is in this collection. Go grab yours today! amazon.com/Spectrum-Aut...

In case anyone needs to know these cards exist. I keep one in my wallet and one in the visor of my car.
Best Autism card I've found so far

I didn't know this, though doubt Alabama is involved. I bought the following cards off Etsy after having some really bad experiences with doctors / police in the past.

Whenever I do a talk/panel I always ask the moderator to make sure the first Q&A comes from a woman/fem-presenting person
That more than doubles the chance that other women will be asked, subsequently, whereas if the 1st is a man, men dominate the Q&A.
Mods are always surprised, but usually try it

New blog post time!
Thinking about that perennial menace of the conference scene - "It's not really a question, more of a comment..."

We've all met the original conference Reply Guys, but what can we do to make participation better for everyone?

Set up a new bottle garden, this time with mosses and ferns and tiny local plants. Excited to see what’s going to happen!

Special message for anyone who finds Valentine's Day hard. Lack of a partner (or partners) or being stuck in a bad relationship does not make you unworthy of appreciation. Be your own valentine and appreciate yourself and all the wild and wonderful things you are 💜

Erin is not exaggerating. Don't try to put lilies someplace "safe" like on a high shelf or on top of the fridge, just don't bring them in your home at all. Tell everyone, especially since the Easter lilies are coming soon, too. www.fda.gov/animal-veter....
It's almost Valentine's Day so it's my yearly reminder that lilies are DEADLY to cats. Every single part of the lily. Even the tiniest sniff of pollen will send a cat into kidney failure within an hour. Lilies are a death sentence. If you have cats DO NOT have lilies in your home!

this is a success rate that basically *doesn't exist* for medical interventions
in any rational world this would be the end of any argument about HRT or transition generally
but the cruelty is the point, not the actual data
