It took everything within me to get to work this afternoon to teach one class. I had to go off my hrt and after nearly a year of surgical menopause, my body really said, “let’s have a period!!” Y’all, I don’t know how I survived these before. I am in so much pain.
The last thing I want to do right now is drink more electrolytes but my POTS has been so unregulated the past few days and I did too much over the weekend. No good pickles or olives in my fridge either. 😖😭
Watching Crimson Peak (one of my all-time faves) with the audio commentary for the first time and I swear GDT is a goddam genius.

The mini void is now four months old, weighs 6.2lbs, and is street legal (had his first rabies vax). Love this little guy 🖤🖤🖤
Had a convo with a grad student today and I asked if he read fiction. He said no. I’ve seen some of this kind of snobbery among a lit of my grad students and I honestly find it dumbfounding. 1) It will help you become a better academic writer and 2) where’s your fucking whimsy??
I love unlikely duos and I am obsessed with these two now 😍
Ed’s Rose Tattoo@edsrosetattoo.bsky.social · 7d agoFantastic review from Deadline!
Still really mad that my uni’s English dept (my dept shares building) is still running a course on HP that includes study abroad. It’s been going for more than 15 years and every time I see their posters I want to deface them.* *for legal reasons, it’s a joke. Probably.
I know I’ve been a bit mia over here lately, but I wanted to say ilysm to my pirate crew! Ended up with a nasty cold for the holiday weekend, but I’m back and ready to dig into some new (to me) fics. What are y’all enjoying?
I love these things! Fairly accurate since I’m within an hour’s drive of SC, but this North Carolinian is offended. 😂
Dr. Briana Jackson 🏴☠️@baladria.bsky.social · 2w agoFor all the people who ask me what country I’m from, I have real scientific facts proving I’m from Illinois 🤣. Not sure what California ours going on this list, though 🤔
Why yes, I am listening to the original POTC soundtrack while writing the script for a new episode of @podcastoranges.bsky.social 🏴☠️
Big news in North Carolina: 1 of the 3 GOP Supreme Court justices up in 2028 won’t run again, easing the path for a Democratic majority. If Dem Justice Anita Earls wins this year, Dems would only need 2 flips in 2028 to gain a 4-3 majority. They could then strike down the GOP’s gerrymanders again
The Charlotte Observer@charlotteobserver.com · 2w agoThe son of Senate leader Phil Berger, he helped Republicans retake the majority on the state Supreme Court.
Changed my IBR payment for my student loans today. Still pissed that the SAVE act got cancelled and all the months I thought I was contributing to Public Service Loan Forgiveness don’t count. I should only have two years left, now it’s five. 😠
As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.
There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

Words cannot describe how excited I am for this!!!

never forget that THE NIGHT BELONGS TO LOVERS 🏴☠️
I'm playing my first ttrpg with friends to day and I'm excited, but scared!
I don't trust anyone who doesn't have a preferred burner on the stove.
Today sucked, but my new glasses arrived so at least I can see better?
Once again, the NYT proving they are shitty at journalism.
Mark Harris@markharris.bsky.social · 3w agoDolly Parton lived with a gay man for years. She was a vocal advocate for LGBTQ+ folks and a philanthropic champion of childhood literacy and education, vaccines, and the black people in her community. "We don't know what her politics were"? Please. She lived them. www.nytimes.com/2026/08/27/a...
Nobody else could have convinced the Muppets that they are going to burn in hell.
Is there a fucking reset button for this timeline because I hate it here
