  @JoscelynTransient “Don’t cry for me, Argentina… The truth is I never left you, All through my wild days, My mad existence, I kept my promise… Don’t keep your distance.” Yeah; singing that while making stabby seems… ominous. 😳

  Bad thought of the day, one I had in all seriousness before I internally facepalmed. "You know, given the cyclosporiasis outbreak right now, it's a really shitty time to experiment with vegetarianism." 🤦‍♀️

  It is Day 27 of Pride. Like most people, you will do the best you can under the circumstances. It's what most of us try to do. As an LGBTQ+ person, this comes with added pressures, that you must be perfect, that there is no room for error. We feel like we have to be perfect, that each mistake will be scrutinized and condemned. Unfortunately, life doesn't work that way. Variation happens. Mistakes happen. You will fail people sometimes. And they may damn you for it. Try...

  It is Trans Day of Visibility. For those who are still on the outside waiting, for those who don’t feel safe visible… know that we’ve been there, and that we see you. One day. Your day will come. 🫂

  Magasplaining v. When someone who clearly gets their information from factually-questionable conservative media sources tries to correct or explain something about your area of expertise or line of work. Used in a sentence: “That old lady tried to magasplain to me about how what’s wrong with education is all a leftist conspiracy! Geez, I was only referencing the negative impact COVID had, not some Qanon crap!” (And yes… this quite literally happened to me today.)

  There was a really cool moment in today’s bike ride. We sometimes pick up riders at random on our rides, people riding who see us and want to join. So another rider joined us halfway today. When we got t our destination, as we talked, he started pointing at us: “Now I know why you’re here, and you’re here, and you’re here, and you’re here…”. Thing is, we’re a queer cycling group. And I wasn’t one of the ones pointed at. @faithisleaping recently spoke of the desire to be invisible someti...

  Something I wrote for my International Business students, as the semester closes. *** You could spend your entire career, your entire life, in the Rochester area. It's a nice place to live, a good place to settle down, raise a family, build a life. But you don't have to. You could stay entirely in New York State. Maybe find a job in Albany or Buffalo, maybe get a job in the City. The City is a lovely place to work and live, once you get used to it and understand the rhyt...

  It's morning. Just contemplating the day. One odd bit about emotions post-transition is just how much more nuance there is to them. Emotions largely felt like a bludgeon pre-transition - joy, or anger, or sadness. Post-transition, these emotions get weird, y'all. Today, I feel good, at peace, but sad as well, with the occasional sprinkle of anger; I've been on the verge of tears a lot in the last 24 hours or so. Emotions post-transition are like taking someone who's only...

  Realizing, after a friend of mine made a request for her own field, I probably should ask this. Does anyone know of a university within the European Union (I have EU citizenship) that's going to do a faculty search next year in operations research / supply chain / logistics / management sciences / international business / business ethics or a similar field?

  Something a friend of mine (Hi, @revoluciana !) pointed out: Bathrooms in leftist and queer spaces are *awesome*. Here are a few samples from my journeys today.
