Not really here these days but resharing this classic because it is hilarious and also true.
Growing up, my Muslim family never celebrated Christmas. This year I am not going home, because pandemic, so my roommates are teaching me how to have my first proper Christmas.

You don’t want AI photos of everything you want. You want this real photo you didn’t know existed until Twitter of a cat you don’t know stealing an egg. The magic is in discovering what you didn’t know you wanted. Kill the treats machine.

Never distract a working Guide Dog 🦮🚫
Did you know that petting a working assistance or service dog can put the handler at risk?

Please don't distract or pet Guide Dogs.
ALT Guide Dog Ava a working is curled up snoozing on a wooden floor. She is wearing her hi visibility guide dog harness. Resting on her back is her lead or leash with a large red sleeve on it. White text on red fabric reads do not pet. There is a symbol of a human hand reaching down to a dog crossed out with a red line. Ava is also wearing a red collar and bowtie with a bone pattern on.

It Came from the To-Read Pile: Lyanda Lynn Haupt’s Urban Bestiary. A talk I gave on wildlife tracking led me to this book: one that had lurked on the shelves of the library where I worked without my knowing it. So it sometimes goes, in tracking.

Put it this way: if the launch of Zuckerberg’s Twitter clone made you think of an intensely disturbing BBC production from the early 1980s, you’re probably feeling these memes in a way that’s tough to articulate. welltemperedwriter.wordpress…

I took 1 star reviews of #Barbie from furious men on letterboxd and put them on the posters because it makes the film seem ever cooler.
It's only Girl Dinner if it comes from the Influencer region of the Internet, otherwise it's just sparkling fridge grazing

An #amwriting thought…I’ve been at 2 county Board of Ed meetings this summer where white women affiliated with (or maybe just riffing off) Moms for Liberty read sexually explicit excerpts from YA novels aloud to the board & new superintendent, completely out of context, 1/
