Guys, we gotta eviscerate them

Oh.

Here is a (likely incomplete) list of apps that are enabling ICE to track your smartphone's location. Download, mirror, and reshare. docs.google.com/spreadsheets...

Looks like ICE is now cracking down on … Native Americans. This letter was just posted by the chairman of the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe in North/South Dakota: “Our Nation is a sovereign government and our members are not immigrants. We are not subject to immigration enforcement on our own lands.”

Delighted to see this recent article in the @smithsonianmag.bsky.social by @donnalferguson.bsky.social on some of the research outputs for the Naming Species in the South Pacific project: www.smithsonianmag.com/history/newl... With thanks to our collaborators, @nhmlibraryarchives.bsky.social

Gov. Polis needs a whole lot of constituents calling his office at (303)866-2885 to tell him how Tina Peters needs to serve her full sentence for tampering with voting equipment, and that she should be grateful it wasn't far harsher.

Interesting post! An issue is that many unis will not allow you to hire ANY external caterers, which can be frustrating when you know you could offer a more diverse and cost-effective food package for events if you could draw on your local community.

“I was a poor Chicano boy from El Paso,” Acosta said. “I made my name in toxicology at the University of Texas.”

Imagine waiting for months to get an appointment at the Mayo Clinic...and to have to go through ICE to get the life saving care you need. Fuck ICE.

I need to get off the couch and do the bedtime things, and yet. I don't know what this post-seminar slump is and I don't like it.

My very limited take away from the new food "guidelines" is that we don't talk about gout enough.

Hey #MedievalSky, I am trying to find contact information for Daniela Misseri, who did her PhD in Turin, to ask permission to get a copy of her diss so that I don't have to go all the way there to see it. Any help would be appreciated!

There’s another emergency rally in NYC this morning—9am Foley Square. Kristi Noem is going to NYC today to hold a press conference. New Yorkers are showing up in mass to tell her to get the f*ck out. Join @handsoffnyc.bsky.social in the streets. It’s time to get loud and stay loud.

I'm organising a trans history workshop session as part of the @mbsbirmingham.bsky.social conference in July. Details below. Do get in touch by end of next week if you have any questions or would like to register your interest, and pass on to anyone you know who might be keen to participate.

In fact we have records of at least 65,000 immigrants in the late MEDIEVAL period. This means real numbers were significantly higher. In England more than 1% of the population was foreign born (never mind 2nd gen) with numbers as high as 1 in 10 in cities. There’s a database!

so MIKE BITCHASS DUGGAN was advised that all the dilapidated home demolitions he had speed run exposed detroiters to MULTIPLE TOXIC SUBSTANCES like lead, arsenic and who knows what all else, and it's been leeched into the soil and spread around the city and he kept going without testing anyway.

3/ Texaco and Hess are Chevron subsidiaries/brands.

2/ How about a total #boycott of #Chevron, the big US player in Venezuelan oil, for starters?

Did better on revisions today. Put in just about an hour and have made it halfway through. Will need to return to the introduction, but at least I didn't run away. Or rather, at least I came back after procrastibaking.

“Renee Nicole Good!” March in NYC chants in solidarity with Minneapolis following the ICE killing of legal observer Renee Nicole Good. Estimated 800-1000 attendees, with march circling 26 Federal Plaza where ICE operates before dispersing. More actions tomorrow at 8am and 9:30am at Foley Square.

Noem is lying trash who made this murder possible and should know no peace anywhere she goes.

Speaker from CAIR reminds folks that Somali people and spaces they run are being targeted and many of them feel alone, and we can support them in all kinds of ways, and that’s one of the ways we can do something.

Does anyone have suggestions for Indigenous writing about the newer Cherokee letterpress movable types? (The 1962 or recent versions.) Interested in Cherokee involvement in the newer type's casting/(re)design; analysis/statements on ethical audience+use of the new (not rediscovered 19thc) type. +

New in PN: Corporation for Public Broadcasting's patriotic goodbye "We’re in thrall to a con man who denigrates the very idea of truth and uses media only to distract and divide. And so the CPB board members broke their plowshares lest they be beaten into swords by a deranged demagogue."

Starting tomorrow, the Trump administration is set to send notices to 1,000 student loan borrowers (first round) noticing them of an intent to garnish their wages for student loan debt. This is cruel and unnecessary. Join the meeting below to get educated and fight back.

btw for those who don't know why Americans with chronic illness got like 75% more stressed on Jan 1st, it is not just because all the insurance rates blew up. On 1/1, deductibles reset. which means you have to spend some amount of money (up to $10k sometimes) before your insurance COVERS ANYTHING

I finally remembered my most recent extremely stupid way I got hurt: I went in for my PT assessment for back pain in March and tore my left labrum going into a simple back bend to show off my flexibility 🙃

Almost no one is complaining about trans women in women’s spaces, study finds “This is a manufactured controversy, not a documented crisis.” www.lgbtqnation.com/2026/01/almo...

So this article says women already have to meet male standards across multiple branches. And he knows that. So this ‘review’ is about ‘get women out of combat positions’ and probably even ‘get women out of military period.’ www.wemu.org/npr-national...

Housewarming invites sent. I shall have a good stress to mitigate all the normal stress.

Amazing collections, lovely people. Come and spend a year doing research @theul.bsky.social @theulspeccoll.bsky.social

It is writing day. Which of course means I didn't sit down to any writing work until 1pm and now I've done half an hour and I want to run away and scream and never have to revise anything again.

Big: Wyoming supreme court just struck down abortion ban. And get this: The reason is a constitutional amendment codifying a right to make health care decisions... passed in 2012 by conservatives who thought it'd screw Obamacare! Quite the backfire. We explained this lawsuit a few years back:

At the Dr for my annual physical, have graded 1.5 compos, too hungry to force myself concentrate anymore, still have not been called back for the fasting blood work 😭

Bill Cassidy spent 2025 criticizing RFK Jr’s radical moves, but failing to actually do anything meaningful, despite his powerful committee chairmanship. In 2026, the senator is offering more of the same, indifferent to the consequences of his passivity. www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

Complete stab in the dark here. Does anyone have access to The St. Lucia Archaeological and Historical Society series? I'm desperately looking for a pamphlet in the series published by Charles Jesse in 1969 in the St. Lucia Miscellany issue. Only copy I can find is physical volume in Jamaica.

As it happens, we got a bill from our pediatrician last month saying our health insurance wouldn’t pay for our kid’s flu shot
