I skeet about politics A LOT.
I’m a feminist who is obsessed w/the Humanities. All of them. I get kinda (non religiously) preachy sometimes. Apologies in advance.

The @royalhistsoc.org is running a charitable donation campaign to fund the research of historians who lack support. The number of applications we're seeing is way up. I've been very lucky to have a career as a historian, I've donated, and I think this Christmas you should too. Pay it forward.

Something that’s been really upsetting me as of late is that b/c of this admin, our healthcare system is taking yet another hit in representation.
For me, Long Covid was the 1st time I had to really navigate our healthcare system & I was gaslighted in place of being heard. 🧵

3 yrs ago our friends were married in the hill country. The couple & 15 guests stayed on to float the river. Expecting post wedding hangovers, I brought 4 loaves of bread & made a big batch of chutney/cream cheese, cucumber sandwiches.
Food is always a good idea when there’s drinking involved.

Barely slept & woke up disoriented & unable to find Mama Dog. Eventually heard her breathing in our closet. She was hidden behind my husband’s t shirts. 😂
Her name is Mama Dog b/c she was a pregnant stray they found under their deck. They decided to keep her & found all her puppies good homes.

The British embassy in Tel Aviv may have broken both UK sanctions law and UK government security policies by employing an Israeli citizen who owns a home in an illegal settlement in occupied Palestine, legal experts have said.
The embassy’s deputy head of corporate services and HR, Gila Ben-Yakov Phillips, moved to Kerem Reim in 2022. She listed a house she bought there as her home address on financial documents at the time. Continue reading...

Taking care of my sister in law’s sweet dog while they’re on vacation. She’s been doing well (and she’s decided we’re best friends) but a loud storm came in tonight & scared her. I let her into the closet where our boxer used to hide. Just checked on her. She’s in his old spot. ♥️

I have a drunk aunt who’s typical MAGA. When I was younger, I tried to help her w/her issues but eternal victim mentality. The last time we spent time together was 2016 & I realized she was just too awful a person for me to want anything to do w/her. On Thurs, we’ll say hello & that’ll be that.

This made me really angry yesterday & I’m still angry. I’m angry b/c Dem Socialism gives me hope. I’m angry b/c Dem House Leadership led the charge on the day when a Mayor chosen by NY Democrats met w/Trump. I’m angry b/c they show contempt for Dem voters. And b/c they don’t deserve their roles.
