Did you ever notice that lots of these jobs are commonly associated with women - nurses (this week), teachers, secretaries? Huh, I wonder why that is...

One stressful day at work, a road crew cut the fiber that brought the Internet into the high school where I worked, halting instruction for 1,000 kids who used Chromebooks in the place of textbooks. Some teachers stared at me with hate-filled eyes, while others just texted me this photo en masse.

Remember when West Point investigated these cadets for taking this photo? It happened during the Obama administration. Can you imagine what MAGA would do if it happened today? I'm interested to see what happens to admissions to the academies over the next four years.

Just a reminder that the man MAGA elected president of the US, shoved this woman against a wall and sexually assaulted her. When he defamed her for making that crime public, a judge and jury ordered him to pay her almost $90 million. Tell your friends.

Anniversary of the day when Wonder Woman and I got matching bicycle tattoos to commemorate the way in which we met.

This shit beggars belief. MAGA exists to perpetuate white supremacy. End of.

In a world where the people in power are firing researchers into diseases, food safety, climate change, nuclear safety and more, we need to have a judge sentence RFK, Jr. To get this as a face tattoo.

One of the joys of long distance hiking is trail magic. It was a hot spring day in southern Pennsylvania. I was preparing to fill my water bottle from the stream in the background when I stumbled across these apples and soft drinks left beside the trail by a kind stranger. #hiking #AppalachianTrail https://social.lol/tags/hiking https://social.lol/tags/AppalachianTrail
