    Flashback to when personally removed me from my job as a schoolteacher and called for the city to take LEGAL ACTION against me, just bc I admitted that I'd worked in the sex industry (prior to teaching) "We're just not going to have this woman in front of a class"

    I think it’s dope when publications &/or writers credit their editors when a piece is published. The process can be so beautifully collaborative, yet there’s still sometimes an impulse to hide that a piece needed editing? WE ALL NEED EDITING. Praise good editors forever 👑

    I didn’t watch the game or the halftime show, but people on my tl expressing disgust at pole dancing are really helping me cull my following list! (I thought we settled that debate at least two waves of feminism ago??)

    They only thing I know for certain in this life is that the man who coined the phrase “sleeping like a baby” never met one damn baby.

    This morning I received an unsolicited dick pic via from a man I do not know. What follows is a beautiful story I wove about an app I made up, that should exist. Enjoy!

    Today’s date is a rare eight-digit palindrome (reads the same, forward and backward), 02/02/2020 — the only one of its kind this century: The previous eight-digit palindrome like this was 11/11/1111, 909 years ago. We’ll only have to wait another 101 years for 12/12/2121.

    my most severe critic remains my younger son who just said "oh are you still working on that important piece" and made air quotes around important

    Woman writers! Please send me the threats you have received! Let's make an "assemblage" so that *they* can see them at the macro level. Let's make a quilt out of the peril they place us in.

    I don’t know who would possibly need to hear this, but diaper cakes are the worst. Who wants to associate diapers and cake? Who wants to dismantle the thing and somehow store a pile of random off-brand diapers? Why WHY is this still a thing?
