Chances that I will become the David Sedaris of Tulsa & spend several hours a day picking up trash: PRETTY HIGH I GUESS BECAUSE PEOPLE KEEP SMASHING GLASS WHERE MY DOG HAS TO WALK
And yes, David Sedaris literally spends several hours a day picking up trash; I didn’t make that up: openculture.com/2015/01/david-…

We brought Alfie’s brand new squeaky ball to the dog park and another dog STOLE it immediately and has been playing with it nonstop the absolute INJUSTICE
Update: I had to rip the squeaky ball out of another dog's mouth before we left the park! Alfie didn't want to play with it until I washed off the other dog's smug saliva, but once it was clean he squeaked it to his heart's content.
Update:

Guess what came in the mail today! Thanks, Auntie @KateHarding!
HALLO
I IS MODEL
This coat was custom-made for Alfie by the same woman who made Zia’s winter coat ten years ago, my friend & former neighbor Gini of Gini’s Greyhound Fashions. Sadly, she is closing up her shop, so I feel very lucky to have snuck this order in under the wire. 💖

Look, I love Rent with the intensity of a small town queer teen in the 90s, but it is the pinnacle of self-righteous white person 90s multiculturalism & therefore problematic as hell.
90s white person multiculturalism: "I don't see race!" Through the lens of 2019, it is clear that a) only a white person can claim not to see race, & b) not seeing race means demanding that everyone conform to your standards of whiteness, which c) is a gross form of erasure
...but in the 90s, it was d) considered to be Peak Enlightenment by white people, including Jonathan Larson, who wrote Rent as All White People But Some of Them Happen to Be Black (which again is basically how we white folks did multiculturalism in the 90s).

So, the past few weeks has seen a growing public awareness in the UK of how the far-right, especially the religious far-right, in the US likes to operate, and likes to use willing, if witless, pawns to do their bidding.

The name that's been making the headlines recently...

1/n
is The #Heritage #Foundation. But what, exactly, does The Heritage Foundation espouse? What is it's driving ideological foci?

And the answer to that, if you care one iota for women, or for LGBTQI+ people, is grim to say the least.

This is an organisation that states:

On SOGI (Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity Laws):

"SOGI laws are about forcing all Americans to embrace—and live out—certain beliefs about human sexuality. They are not about protecting the freedom of people to live as LGBT, but about coercing everyone else to...

People keep asking me to explain antisemitism. I can’t explain the history of thousands of years of prejudice. I can outline some of the common tropes. I also don’t have time to explain why each thing is antisemitic, so think of these as things to study further independently 1/
Let’s start with an easy one: Jews control the world. You can read more here: rationalwiki.org/wiki/Internati… but essentially the antisemitic conspiracy theory, which has mutated in various forms over the centuries, is that a shadowy cabal of Jews are the cause of all the world’s ills 2/
Dating back to biblical times, the Jews were accused of killing Christ (it was, in fact, the Romans). This myth is still prevalent today. It was one of my first antisemitic experiences & a lot of Jews have experienced being called Christ killers at some point. 3/

Porpentina (Tina) - I am like, super smart

I have a fear, a fear that our balance of power is horribly unbalanced.

A fear that we may need to do something drastic to have our representatives hear us.

To let the leadership in congress know that we are dead serious and we mean business.

<Thread>
I sit at my job and think, how can these people ignore the horrific things that are happening in our country? How can they sit idly by and think nothing is wrong?

How can they ignore the mockery Donald is making of the most respected position in the world?
Each day he is in the White House I surge through the following emotions

Anger
Disgust
Fear
Heartache

Each day, they either repeat, change positions or both. Anyway you look at it, I feel each of these Every. Single. Day.

So this week was maybe the 10th or so time I've testified on the Hill, as an scientist/researcher. A couple thoughts on the process. 1/
First, almost everyone else who testifies in congress is doing this as part of their job, e.g., as a government official or as a lobbyist or as some kind of industry or organization rep. Academic types are the exception, and the process is not geared to us. 2/
You almost never get a lot of notice. More than about a week or so is unusual. The pros can deal with this; they already have most of their testimony and story ready to go, and have at least some kind of support team helping them. Academics are basically on their own. 3/

I told my homie @iamcardib needs a wax figure. Him: 'nah,' Me: 'Kylie has one' & he had the nerve to try & put her on a pedestal #Thread
has stayed true to herself from the gate. & with all the hype, & attention she's getting rn it's easy to switch up & she hasn't.
She may not be the 'best' role model, but when it comes to staying true to yourself we all need to see and hear that
