We sub'd to Crunchyroll for a while when Zo was heavy into anime. Canceled bc they don't watch it anymore. Just rec'd a Black Friday email from them for *10%* off a year sub. 10%? WILD that this is a "deal." #GTFO

For our family, we don't celebrate this month's holiday. It's actually very easy to abstain.

Casual reminder that the myth of “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps” is a cruel hoax designed to convince poor people from all walks of life that the injustices they face are a result of their own actions, rather than an oppressive system rigged against them.

Cleaning up my office & took down this pic Zo made for me. I never looked at the back when I hung it with a pushpin in my office a few wks ago. Lovely note, still has me choked up. We lost their dad to cancer when Zo was 3, so that's the "alone" part. Lucky to have this kid, for sure. ❤️

heads up to anyone who holds trans kids near: amy harmon from the nyt is searching for and having a hard time finding people to interview to find out exactly what trans kids are doing when their care is limited or cut off, and for purposes of community safety, please shut the fuck up around her.

One thing that we all have seen is that you can be a busy, important person and STILL use alt text on your images. IDC if it's a staffer doing it or what, but it's important to provide context, details, and accessibilty. We can all follow suit. 🙏🏼
Congratulations to Mayor-elect Mamdani. 🎊❤️

The Ctr for Urban Research at @thegraduatecenter.bsky.social (led by @jomoko.bsky.social) has prepared an online map for tonight's NYC mayoral results. Link below in #thread. For now the map is blank, but it'll fill in w/unofficial returns tonight.
The map will do more than show the 2025 #s.

My youngest came out as gender fluid and now goes by they/them. Was worried that I would not be ok with it. I've only ever modeled acceptance, so if my kid who lives with me is worried, it's no wonder that other children in less accepting situations might also be.

Got tired of reading the news and getting mad. Feeding America backs 200+ food banks around the country and I've seeded with $500 for now. I'll match up to another $500 myself.

Foundation says it won't compromise policy of inclusivity even if that cash would've really helped
