Sus', incorrectly ID'd as he, she is factually a murderous bitch, who has been eating our house, home & furniture, not figuratively, all summer.
The murder (manslaughter?) was of a baby pigeon under the deck. 🧵

Our Chanukiah is lit up for Night Six here in the Dominican Republic, but I’m sad to say that I’m not comfortable putting it in the window or out on the balcony.
That makes me very sad, but such is the world we’re living in now.

Please, please. Your professor is begging you to read the papers that you cite.
Because of how often students are citing and referencing papers that don't exist from authors who I know their entire body of work, I've started just plugging them all into gScholar and the results are disheartening.

Sometimes I think about the fact that 50 Shades of Grey was apparently someone's repurposed Twilight fan fiction that they made millions of dollars off of.

If you liked making art, this spark will always be inside you, you just have to take the time (and maybe have an hyperfixation 🤭) to rekindle with it! It’s worth it, I promise 🙌🏻💗

Pediatric phalloplasty is something that takes place when there is severe genital injury or a congenital condition. I have not been able to find a single report of phalloplasty performed on a transgender minor.
This is grotesque fear-mongering.

Muting a Black woman to claim the vote was unanimous is so incredibly on the nose
The White House claims the vote to rename the Kennedy Center was “unanimous.” That is false. I was muted on the call and denied the opportunity to speak or register my opposition. That is not consensus. That is censorship.
