I would very much like to waste my paycheck on some things. I’m impatient for payday.

83,000 cameras to follow one woman who was “suspected” of having or going to have an abortion. Bounty hunting using surveillance technology is scary stuff. Imagine what is used to track women daily for the entertainment of men in power?

More cops have been arrested for using flock cameras to stalk women than there are transgender athletes in youth sports.

The older I get the more I understand why cats just walk away mid conversation.

If I find myself in the odd position of boycotting the boycott that is the @soc4pal.bsky.social conference. It’s for a really dumb reason too: bureaucracy. I was attempting to boycott and protest my position in the theory section, got usurped. So, I resign and am protesting the protest.

From my Facebook. I’m calling out @bostonglobe.com and @worcestertelegram.bsky.social to do better and take their media relationship with @wpbl.bsky.social seriously. Baseball fans want stats, RBI, game coverage, not fluff. This is a historic inaugural season of professional baseball. Treat it so.

Don’t forget to mourn day after tomorrow for Mitch McConnell.

I’m never going to shut up about women’s sports. Ever. ❤️🤘😎

For the first time in more than 70 years, women took the field in a professional baseball game. Dreams that generations fought for are finally becoming reality. Here’s to every girl who has ever been told, “Baseball isn’t for you.” Keep proving them wrong💪 #WomensSports #SheShed #ViVaHerAlliance

True…. #BookSky

Did I buy a jar of dirt from the WPBL inaugural game? Yes, yes I did.

Only 2 more days until Mitch McConnel is declared dead.

The Firebells are absolutely smacking the Hunters tonight. It’s an amazing game.

Coverage of women’s sports is abysmal. I opened the paper this morning expecting to see front page of the sports section of @bostonglobe.com to be splattered with #WPBL and the home run magic in 70 years. Nope. Page 6. And it’s kinda a repeat of yesterday. 🤬😡

Omg! That home run! Way to go WPBL!

WPBL, first league game since the 1950s is happening now. This is one of the best moments. For all of us who were told baseball was for the boys, every pitch thrown tonight by pro ball players is a win. Goooooooooooooo sports!

I am all in for women’s pro baseball which is happening TODAY

I did not know and now I’m horrified that I have this information, he was cast in the remake of Masters of the Universe which is abhorrent. There are SO many talented people who could have and should have been cast as Skeletor.

What upsets me the most about the Prairieland 19, beyond the constitutional rights breach, is that we, as a society, aren’t taking more of a pause to see the truth and consequences for what this means for all of us. Free speech is dead. We should be rioting in the streets nonstop.

I just petted the spines of my rare-ish and antique books this morning to let them know they were safe from the knowledge fascists.

A Very Bad Thing to Do….

All school employees, including teachers, must undergo rigorous background checks and minimum yearly training with certification on conduct to ensure they’re maintaining professionalism in their classrooms. Does this prevent harm? Not perfectly, but it does hold educators accountable.

I started raising my parents after I turned 7. My parents don’t know shit.

"Parents know best" is a smart bit of propaganda, I'll give them that because it takes a lot more than three words to explain just how wrong the claim is

I have an ethical dilemma assigning a textbook that’s $250. Yet, it’s what’s been used for the course for the last few years. It’s a fantastic textbook. I found an older version, it works fine and I will supplement it. But, I just can’t in good faith have students purchase a $250 textbook.

This sounds like a good way to spend a Tuesday afternoon.

With all the apps we have, why haven’t we developed one that’s purely based around errands? What if I need someone to go pick up my prescriptions and bring them to me because I’m too sick/lazy to get them myself? I’d pay for that. Also, why don’t pharmacies have an in-house delivery service?!
