I’m leaving social media, at least until my new book is fully drafted. I can’t keep wasting time having the same pointless arguments about AI. Godspeed, my friends.
We have our big dept meeting tomorrow, where all the managers introduce new employees and give a fun fact about us. I panicked and told my boss that the most interesting thing about me is that I have a cat named Dr. Regina Orange, Professor of Hissssstory. So I guess that’s my work identity now.
Okay but we have another 2 years before we can get a smart one
One of life’s little pleasures is when the bus I’m on catches up to the bus I missed, like thank you for avenging my honor, ma’am.
Woke up feeling great! Get your vaccines!
Liz Faber@lizwfab.bsky.social · 4w agoI’ve once again gotten the flu and covid shots at the same time, and I’ve once again been completely knocked out. I slept for 5 hours today. I have no appetite. I feel like a herd of wild horses ran me over repeatedly. Still better than the flu or covid! 10/10, highly recommend vaxxmaxxing.

Okay, for Popular Culture Association Boston, do I recycle my NEPCA paper about AI self-preservation? Or do I expand on my UFOs in sci-fi magazines research for the new Paranormal area? Or do I do a secret third option I haven’t even thought of yet?

Someone asked whether Dr. Regina Orange (Professor of Hissssssstory) is still in academia now that I’ve changed jobs, and yes, here she is prepping a lecture on the Great Belly Rub War of 1902. #whatprofessorswear #whatwriterswear
Hi, I'm Liz, a writer and sci-fi scholar. My favorite hobby is sitting on the couch with my cat and my spouse. I’ve had that part of “How It’s Done” that goes “Body on body I’m naughty not even sorry when you pull up I pull up a little late to the party NANANANA” stuck in my head for like a year.

FULL FOP MODE 🦋🪭🫦@momebie.bsky.social · last mo.My name is KL, a poet and artist who lives in Watertown, MA with my spouse, our orange cat, and our housemate. Never have I ever not stopped what I was doing and pantomimed the heart when Patrick Stump sings ~llllooove in Dance, Dance.
Well, I got married to a hot older them, quit my faculty position, and started an adjacent career path as a writer. Oh and I bought a Switch 2. Am I doing midlife crisis right?
Karen Attiah@karenattiah.bsky.social · last mo.What are you doing with your midlife existential crisis? No wrong answers. Just trying to see something, as the kids say.
Shoutout to the butch out here wearing combat boots, cargo pants, and a fully see-through muscle tank at 9:43am on a Wednesday. I hope you have a great day, my king. 🫡
Question for scholars who are university staff with no research expectations: do you describe yourself as an independent researcher? I feel weird about that because I do have access to a uni library, but also my work life and my research life are very separate.
Accidentally typed “manmogram” into my calendar, and I do think that’s what we should call start calling it for transmascs, enbies, and butches. Gotta get our manmos squished for good health!
leaning closer to my laptop so I can hear the sounds being piped directly into my skull through my earbuds better
TFW you see a new GP and dress very carefully to avoid misgendering…and then you don’t get misgendered…but you do get fatshamed. #whatwriterswear #fatandtrans #fatphobia

You could throw this phone off a building, run it over with a tank, and then flush it down the toilet, but it would still work.
The old internet@theoldinternet.bsky.social · last mo.The Nokia 3310 mobile phone was released 26 years ago today, September 1, 2000.
This is true, and also, I plan to get uglier and uglier as I age until I'm just a shriveled pile of gnarly sticks covered in goo.
Edmonds Scanner@edmondsscanner.bsky.social · last mo.Remember to remind yourself that many amazing creatures become even more beautiful as they age, molt, and shed, so you can too.
YOU GUYS YOU GUYS YOU GUYS MY SPOUSE DID SOMETHING COOL AND BEAUTIFUL AND YOU CAN HAVE IT SOOOOOOOON
