She/Her/They I like to think I'm clever. And remotely funny. Don't we all? I also love to think out loud. Don't worry, I heavily edit the voices in my head.

Gay men don’t do drag to mock women, we do drag to mock the cultural concept of identity. If you don’t get irony, you don’t get drag.

The King James Bible is incredibly inaccurate as a rendering but it IS the one we use for my podcast because it is the prettiest English translation, mostly because it was overseen by the homosexual aesthete king and his coterie of handsome fuck buddies.

I’ve been saved over and over by others, and I’m so lucky to have been able to help others in turn. We are -all of us- just holding handing hands through the dark night and only remembering why when the sun returns. You have no idea how important you are. #Depressionlies
It's been almost a decade since the night @TheBloggess saved my life. Those years have been filled with some amazing times! Most were awesome, some were not. Just glad I was still around to experience them. Thank you Jenny! #depressionlies

hospitals need to stop exploding. it's deeply unethical for a hospital to explode. they shouldn't do that
The blast killing hundreds at a hospital in Gaza is deeply wrong. I grieve for each person lost. There’s no excuse for the deaths of people seeking care and those who treated them. International law is clear: Innocent civilians must be protected & have access to humanitarian aid.

I’m editing a menopause anthology with incredible essays by menopausal people from across the world #WorldMenopauseDay 👇🏽
.@monaeltahawy's Bloody Hell! And Other Stories is out Nov 2024. This anthology isn't a medical textbook or a guide on 'fixing' things; it's a collection of menopausal stories from people all over the world, from all walks of life. https://t.co/yBlwYd8X8q

"Studio heads may be concerned about how a continued strike will affect their shareholders & upcoming quarterly reports, but unlike the 160,000 @sagaftra members, & the hundreds of thousands of other workers impacted by the strike, they’re still getting (very large) paychecks."

I feel like “war crimes” or “crimes against humanity” are just buzz words with no real meaning or enforcement—unless your country is the one being colonized.

We’re now taking our 17th (yes, 17th) Speaker vote of this Congress. You already know who my pick is: @RepJeffries for as many rounds as it takes!

1. There are still a lot of people with very large microphones talking about the violent "crime wave" sweeping the United States But yesterday, the FBI released nationwide crime data for 2022 that tells a very different story 🧵

If, in a writers’ room, it is better to have a woman writer than a woman consultant, or a Black writer than a Black consultant, or a Latine writer than a Latine consultant, I have no idea why the disability consultancy space is so often the 1st (or only) place ppl look for us
