Man, this is good. The JOURNEYS tool just helped me think about our blind and very loud 18-y-o kitty.

The 30th volume of the Journal of Early Modern History critically examines the term “early modern”. What exactly should the concept stand for and what has it stood for in the past? Check out the special issue “Reflections on the Global Early Modern” at brill.com/view/journal... #earlymodern

HEY AUTHOR FRIENDS!!! Have you got a bunch of author copies sitting around? Would you like to get them OUT OF YOUR HOUSE? We are looking for authors with 5 - 10 copies of a book they'd like to sign and send to some lucky winner, and help raise money for voting rights!

If you’re in NYC this weekend, I have a few minutes of music in this cool new film at the TriBeCa festival by Sean Ono Lennon about the avant-garde NYC fashion collective threeASFOUR

Frankly, I want to divest SCOTUS of jurisdiction to enter *any* orders reversing a lower court without a complete elaboration of the reasons why. They are the least busy judges in America with a self-selected workload. If they can't bother to explain it, they should not do it.

You know what we don't talk enough about? Queen & Annie Lennox/David Bowie rehearsing 'Under Pressure' in 1992. So much going on! Everyone's clothes, Bowie with a lit cig throughout, where Annie PROPER GOES FOR IT, George Michael singing along in the background. The amazing vocals. Yes, please!

My latest column for @newscientist.com subscribers and for library users is about what exactly a quantum field is and how physicists arrived at needing them! ⚛️🧪 "a quantum field determines how many particles can be created or destroyed at each point in space." Enjoy!

It is my considered opinion that every blue state should do pass every bill they can to nullify the Corrupt 6’s rulings. Pass state measures rejecting their judgments on every front. Recall two things: the supremes can only take a few cases per year. And if they meddle, states can respond again.

The third Jack Mitchell book, THE SUCCULENT SUCCUBUS is now scheduled for next March, and is available for preorder. You won't get charged till the book ships. Preorders really help. Thanks! www.amazon.com/s?i=stripboo...

I will not vote for anyone who does not commit to expanding the court to 13 seats and imposing term limits on justices, retroactively if legally possible. You should not either. It must become a job requirement for Dems in Congress and the White House.

HUGE: Deb Haaland has won the Democratic nomination for governor of New Mexico. On to the general!

One Way Out

I'm incredibly grateful for all the support I've received from Maine voters. We're building momentum ever single day, which is exactly the direction you want to be headed moving toward an election. Let's do this! andreaformaine.com

the next hopefully democratic administration and congress will have a shitload of things to fix but criminal investigation and prosecution of these should be a high priority tbh

Scorpio: This will be a good week to dye your hair in a truck stop bathroom. Maybe think about switching plates with another car while you're there.

Capricorn: You experienced an emotion. Ponder your grave failure.

He was so good in this

Everyone reading this: take a sec to clench your jaw, hunch your shoulders a bit, and make sure you’re tense. Perfect. Now make sure to stay dehydrated for a while. You got this

Go away little Mike

Cher is a treasure

Is that an Sx-70 on Andor?

* Pass the largest anti-corruption bill ever, including funding prosecutions and clawbacks for everyone that has stolen from the rest of us these last years and ALSO including submitting to the jurisdiction of the ICC and repealing the Hague Invasion Act.

* Regulate AI and prediction markets. * Fix fucking healthcare. Write the plan to do that now. Don't be like the GOP with their "we have the concepts of a plan" bullshit. * Fund mass affordable housing stock.

May we be kind

in life it remains perfectly fluid, yet, upon exposure to the air, after death, it soon begins to concrete; sending forth beautiful crystalline shoots

Maybe evidence that queer and gay are not necessarily the same thing

And if you think I didn’t steal some Bethesda Fountain valor as I took this in today, you’d be so wrong. Got a little misty-eyed. Thanks, Tony, for changing my world.

A real nightmare scenario here for folks who take a public stand for their queer communities, but also real courage. Jey's old school Science Twitter, and has been using that skillset to organize against gender Lysenkoism. There's a gofundme to help with medical expenses here: gofund.me/ee804efbf

As he came to the bank Ogion, waiting, reached out his hand and clasping the boy’s arm whispered to him his true name: Ged.

And tell Democrats to use every tactic and tool available to block, obstruct, and turn public opinion against this ICE First, Families Last bill.

in support of this post, alt text so everyone can see how much of a badass Senator Kim is: "I ran up and put myself between the ICE officers and the crowd, and that's when they started to shoot at us with the pepper balls--as well as using the pepper spray--and were tackling people."

I highly recommend that everyone follow artists. If you do, your feed is filled with art every day. Real, original art. It's bonkers that you can even have this. Amazing. Undeniably cool. And then support those artists, when you can, because that helps the delight continue.

My partner has just brought up the idea that since Colbert is at a loose end at the moment, maybe he needs to have a podcast with Bob From Chicago (aka Pope Leo). I kinda love this.

Assigned Media just got screwed over by SquareSpace not allowing them to take their subscribers with them when they switched to a new platform. Having been there before, I know how aggressively this sucks! Please consider helping them out by subscribing today (I did!).

You might be angry, but are you bunny angry?

Universe? Why not now?

The historic Alfred Street Baptist Church announced it would fund the Black student government whose funding was cut at Mizzou over DEI restrictions “We take care of our own people,” said Rev. Dr. Howard-John Wesley.
