Y’all, I’m watching Beyond Skinwalker Ranch and I had an #MSWL thought: rival ufologists a la Skinwalker Ranch Travis and Ancient Aliens Giorgio but make it cozy and queer.

There I go, spending valuable time doomscrolling instead of writing this AM. God I hate looking at the news Monday mornings but feel like it's irresponsible to look away.

Small brag: for the first time in 6 months both of my knees felt GOOD - no pain, no strain. Fencing practice was a breeze!

Ok, #10queries has ended and I've seen two that might be about my novel, sorta. Now I'm really on tenterhooks. Thanks all the editors and folks at #revpit who put this event together!

I've admired Dr. Goodall since i was 12 years old. Her final message is the kind of positivity I desperately needed to hear today.
Netflix recorded an interview with Dr. #JaneGoodall in March, set to air only after her death. In it, she says she wishes Trump and Elon Musk could be blasted into space.
Her final message: “Don’t lose hope.”

Love this guy. His videos can brighten up any day.
Ed People hasn't had any professional dance training, but he can definitely bust a move. The social media influencer says the goal of his global dance project is to "bring joy" and "build bridges."
He's asked strangers across the globe: Show me your favorite dance moves?

The Republican Congress is going to try to rewrite the history of RFK Jr.’s confirmation as HHS Secretary.
“We didn’t know”
“Nobody told us”
“He promised he wouldn’t…”
This thread will be about the warnings from thousands of scientists and HCW who loudly and publicly opposed his confirmation.
