If you want to know what Joseph Smith looked like maybe you should, I don't know, look at pictures of his kids?

Problem is, you're not going to find them in LDS history, because Emma refused to follow Freemason Brigham, so the kids aren't part of 'Mormon' history, from the

Amazing that a chip bricked in 46-yr-old Voyager I, preventing it from sending data, and NASA figured out how to split up and reallocate its functions to other hardware, sending code 15 billion miles away (45 hours round trip!)--and Voyager's back online. blogs.nasa.gov/voyager/2024/0…

On the 8th of April after having an X-ray, my son was diagnosed with cancer (osteosarcoma). We’re all really scared. He’s brave though and hasn’t complained once. But, I’m broken. He starts chemo next week. I wish this was me going through this and not my little boy.

This is how work has felt every day since we changed our EHR system and I spend all my time thinking “I hope I’m charting enough to not go to jail” 🤠

AND ALSO if there are a lot of holds on a book, they will often buy more! Something that was EXTREMELY satisfying when the BYU library (where I am not allowed to teach because I have a wife) had to buy more copies of my extremely gay book because there were so many holds on it!!

Some news! This September I will be joining the English Department at the University of New Brunswick as an assistant professor of English and Creative Writing. Feeling immensely grateful to everyone who has supported me. Officially the first woman in my family to obtain a PhD!

Yeah, We Know You’re Racist:

You can always tell who is low-key racist by the way they ask you a question about a culture that is not theirs. The word choice is usually more insulting than the entire question itself. Sometimes, it’s not about asking to understand places like

Last week was the 1st time I'd taken my laptop to a coffee shop since before the Pandemic. 😳

It was good to get out. If only I could've brought my 27' iMac along instead. 😅

Do you often work in coffee shops/cafes?

Some questions to ponder.🤔

Please say a prayer for our school community. We had something happen in one of our schools today that has traumatized so many. We need lots of prayers.

My abuser used to tell me that I wasn’t particularly intelligent, and I wouldn’t go far in life… yet today I gave a speech to a packed conference room on my experience of the justice system and how it must improve. I’m making change, while he wallows in prison. Girlboss moment?
