Do I think the Pope looks cool here? I do.
Do I think it would be cooler if he stood up for our trans brothers, sisters, and siblings and smacked around the American Bishops who voted to deny trans care in Catholic hospitals today? Yeah. I do. WAY fucking cooler.

I would like to provide a forum here for anyone who went through a prepubescent Kliban cat phase in the early to mid-1980s. How is that late-in-life ADHD diagnosis working out for you?

AOC: "It is unconscionable that what we are debating right now is legislation that will give 8 senators over $1 million a piece & we're robbing people of their food assistance & healthcare to pay for it. How can we vote to enrich ourselves by stealing from the American people?"

I want to thank all the veterans who have served this country, but especially the transgender veterans who served and still desire to serve in spite of being treated like 2nd class citizens by the very country they defend. Thank you all for your service.

Incredibly exciting news!
I was thrilled to learn today that @uchicagopress.bsky.social is planning a new paperback edition of my first book, Rum Maniacs, to be published in the fall of 2026. So, I have two paperbacks coming out next fall!

I think the belief by the powerful that "people will put up with many things if you are excellent at math" is incredibly revealing in terms of understanding How We Got Here

A bomb is about to hit the heart of America this week. The GOP want to protect billionaires and pedophiles over our children and our health. Participated in a huge food drive yesterday. May make this a weekly thing. It's up to us to keep our communities fed.

The kicker is amazing.
EXCLUSIVE: One Saturday afternoon in October, my phone lit up with a notification.
I glanced down at the message.
“Anna, Lindsey Halligan here,” it began.
So began my text exchange with the woman who is prosecuting the president's perceived political enemies.

To moms worried about the Tylenol they took while pregnant: you deserve better than being RFK Jr's scapegoat.
And to the autism community: you are loved exactly as you are.
