I have need of someone with Japanese scholarship. Maybe someone knows someone? I’ve written a piece in the style of Sei Shonagon. Working title: nagori. Q: Is there a 10th c equivalent for this word? Something that holds both anticipation and aftermath, or lingering? I know. Pass it on anyway?

It was 20 years ago today... Cast On began to play. It's the anniversary of the very first episode of my podcast! Twenty. Years. In Internet years that's practically Neolithic.

Fuck. Claude.ai is down. I was in the middle of a project. Whyyyyyyy?

I am deeply, deeply in love with the driver of this car.

@Anthropic.com should give me a free enterprise account because I’m doing important feminist infrastructure work, and at the vanguard of building creative praxis and collaboration with AI. And because I’m pretty.

This is one of my favourite quick lunches. Makes enough for two, and can be eaten cold, straight from the fridge in a pinch.

The last flowers of the season. Cosmos, calendula, sweet peas and cornflower, all grown from @higgledygarden.bsky.social seed.

Well, I didn‘t get raptured last night. You?

If all of my outfits this winter do not come with matching mittens then what is even the point? This #1930s skating ensemble was created by Schiaparelli for her sporting line, an innovative addition to her fashion brand #palaisgalliera #fondationazzedinealaia #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

The muppet show is returning. I repeat THE MUPPET SHOW IS RETURNING. Kermit was my first crush this is momentous. If this little girl’s giggle, Kermit’s disgruntled face & the last 10 seconds of this don’t make your day better then I cannot account for you:

Here is my best guidance, rendered beautifully by the great John Lithgow. I first published these lessons nearly nine years ago, in late 2016. They open the twenty chapters of "On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century." snyder.substack.com/p/twenty-les...

Woodstove weather has arrived. Rejoice with me.

I am torn between really wanting it to be warm enough for my tomatoes to ripen, and really wanting it to be chilly enough to fire up the wood stove.

We'd save half a billion a year. We'd be able to hold our head of state accountable. Sounds like a better future for Britain, right? #NotMyKing #AbolishTheMonarchy

The thing nobody tells you about moving house is how long it takes to hunt for that thing you unpacked and put away in very safe spot two years ago. I can guarantee you will not be able to find that thing when you want it.

As Americans, we ask tough questions and demand real answers. When those in power attack journalism and silence scientists, is that patriotism or manipulation? Real patriotism is protecting dissent and demanding facts. #TruthBrigade

Cool and damp today, so fire. But still technically summer, so Pimm’s.

A good bank holiday house party with excellent friends, one of whom has mad skillz and is about to install our new dishwasher. Life is sweet.

ICYMI... My new talk from TEDxBerlin asks the question few are willing to face: why is democracy in retreat globally, and what can we do about it? Here's one possible way forward, and we should consider it — before it's too late. america2.news/is-democracy...

Bless all who sail in Wanker McWankface.

The Assassin on Amazon is like the opposite of a Wes Anderson film. The framing is… odd? The focus of the first episode seems to be the right eye of each actor. Haven’t read any reviews. Stick with it, or bail now?

The Faroe Islands have a unique summer tradition where a large rock in Sandur is yarn-bombed by local women, inspired by a local legend about a "Troll Woman's cave"...... #WomensArt

Good morning Monday! I hope the week ahead rises up to greet you with joy

Could do with a bit of this at the mo.

"The Flag". Frank Lloyd Wright. 1927.

Claire McCardell changed fashion forever, Julia Turner writes. The designer advocated for pockets, denim, and ballet flats—revolutionizing clothing for women:

I love #Wales.

Are you even a museum giftshop if you don't have wooden rulers with all the kings and queens of England?

Please, if you’re even fluttering around the idea of voting Reform in next year’s Welsh elections, give this a read first. It’s really important: nation.cymru/opinion/fara...

Woollen caps were standard wear in Tudor England, so it's unsurprising that three examples were found on the Mary Rose, all knitted in stocking stitch in 2mm twin ply wool, with a silk lining.

A great read about one of my favourite flowers for cutting.

I am 65 today, and this is my birthday treat.

This is Bodie. He’s here to celebrate the start of Pride Month. Been working on this pose for weeks. 14/10 the parade starts right behind him 🌈🐾 (IG: hellobodie)
