How do you run away and hide from a country? While ideally also doing what you can to fight authoritarianism and white Christian supremacy?

Seriously? The ONE TIME I don’t say “Ow! What bit me?” when I step on something sharp is when the thing I stepped on is A PUPPY TOOTH? A thing that could actually bite me? Irony, I call thee a failed opportunity for an accurate vocal tic

Goodbye TikTok. I really liked you but the "President Trump saved us" bullshit was a hard nope for me.

A fluffy gray puppy with a black nose, lying on a dog bed with her paw on a stuffed cow

Good morning. If you see this puppy, don't invite her onto your porch unless you want her to try to break into your house and look for snacks/toys/other people to pet her.

My current "I'm cold and have no cope" morning breakfast beverage of choice is an instant mocha made with a Swiss Miss hot chocolate package and some nescafe. It's all warm and chocolatey and soothing as it provides the caffeine I need to function as a human being. 🙄🤣💜

Do we think that there is a number of times that this puppy will attempt to drink my coffee after which she will realize that she finds it disgusting? If so, that number is greater than four.

Sorry for anyone following me. Portodid not do a good job of importing tweets on this account and they all came in on two very specific and odd dates.

I also met the author of Acts of Gaiety, which is about queer performance, and ALSO sounds like a wonderful book (

Tonight I met the delightful author of "Together Tea" ( and I can't wait to read a copy! It sounds wonderful.

At my old house, the neighborhood dogs knew my door was where you went in an emergency. Apparently they sent a memo to the dogs up here.

... and then there are the days where you end up with a phone clipped to your hair. #NotAMorningPersonEvenIfIveBeenUpSince6AM

Amazing how the appeal of technology changes with the times. I can't even give away a perfectly nice CRT TV on Freecycle.

Clickers are kind of awesome, in theory, but man they are a pain to debug. #Teaching #TechnologyFail

Frankly, lecturing about how evolutionary theorists treat sexual coercion makes me want to throw things at myself. #ThingsLikeFoucault

My students didn't stone me! But they did appreciate my normalization of the desire to throw things at someone lecturing on my topic.

We don't allow our students e-devices in class, but I spend at least 5 minutes each class ordering books the other profs are talking about.

Hey @saraeileen RT @lastnora: [...] Looking to hire someone to do posters & pstcards for an alt. sexuality conf[...] ideally ASAP. $50/hr

To me, it sort of looks like the wind has formed ski hills for smurfs.

Finished what I was working on in my hangout with @nobilis and @ceciliatan, so took a photo of the ridiculous outside

The snow blower guys have come to clear a path... and the snow is up to their waists.

Stormageddon Dark Lord of All was much cuter than Nemo. Just saying.

Hail! I have discovered that the Aeslin Mice have a twitter feed @Aeslin_Writ. I have celebrated with an impromptu parade.

LOVE that show! RT@trydzinski: This is SO COOL!!! I now want cable. FBI Teams Up With 'White Collar' ... via @mashable”

Words can not express how much I am looking forward to writing achingly accurate negative Yelp reviews about incompetent people.

Resisting the desire to subject @coralinetheblue to a rambling monologue about the virtues of a kitten trebuchet (Inspired by @scalzi)

Washed my brain out from the horrid book by reading @scalzi's Fuzzy Nation. How had I never read that?!?!?!?! #LoveMITSFS

Wow. That may be a new record. I just declared a book unreadable before I got to the bottom of the second page. #NotEvenSelfPublished

First day of Boston commuting, I have four inches or so of snow and no boots. I'm getting cold feet about this move! #MostlyLiterally

Sitting on my front porch, watching all the dogs go by. #Isn'tThatHowTheSongGoes?

I have too much stuff for my new place. My measurements were off. #MeasureTwicePackOnce
