A lovely list for these scary times!

Basically feminism for the past 250 years has been a struggle to establish that women are people endowed with certain inalienable rights, and among those rights are life, liberty, and bodily autonomy.

Stéphane Mallarmé by Edouard Manet, 1876 "Le monde est fait pour aboutir à un beau livre." (The world was made in order to result in a beautiful book.)

Wow!! It’s been such a joy to watch these athletes compete!

Oksana Masters leaves Italy with five new para Nordic skiing medals, extending her reign as the most decorated U.S. Winter Paralympian. She competes in summer sports too and is already eyeing LA 2028. n.pr/4lSZpPr

it's time to tap the sign again -- understanding the origins + history of classical antisemitism tropes means that you can be clear on what legitimate critiques of a state you might want to critique might be & what might be promulgating 2000 year-old scapegoating conspiracy theories

Portland pothole artists are seriously my favorite people. If you know one or are one and would be willing to talk about your craft, please DM

The Church of England might seem an unusual source for info about female medical practitioners in the years 1500-1800. But it is where this story of a brief period of opportunity is set. . .

Born #onthisday in 1799, the English botanist Anna Atkins. As well as being considered by many to be first woman to create a photograph, her stunning 1843 book of algae cyanotypes is thought to be first book illustrated with photographs: publicdomainreview.org/collection/c... #OTD

@soleilho.com and @coyotemedia.org with some joy during this terrifying time.

My kind of timeline cleanse.

I am grateful every day for all the glorious scientists and researchers out there! This is such a miraculous sight! Thanks for posting! (I learn so much from you 💚.)

Good. But also? These headlines should be noted. Summers should be resigning. Not because of emails to Epstein, but what was IN those emails. He should be resigning for his racist fetishizing of an Asian protege. Of using his job to attempt to set up sexual encounters. Unprofessional behavior.

How the Golden Gate Bridge Was Built: A 3D Animated Introduction

A story about how one person can improve the world for everyone.

This detail is so horrifying (and telling).

I talked with @andreapitzer.bsky.social about why we should understand the Trump administration as a concentration camp regime, and what it means to fight back.

I'm so happy to share that our reporting on the Venezuelan men sent to a prison in El Salvador was just named a finalist for one most special awards in journalism -- the Shadid Award for Journalism Ethics. And congrats to all of the other finalists who produced such important work last year!

Just the loveliest profile of a writer who deserves all of the hosannas.

Never in a million years did I ever fathom when I resurrected the Epstein story in 2018 that it would lead to first arrest of a British Royal in four centuries. Not since King Charles I was arrested in 1647. open.substack.com/pub/jkbjourn...

This Ancient Egyptian board game is almost 4,000 years old! Known as ‘Hounds and Jackals’ or ‘Game of 58 holes’, its original name is unknown. It’s suggested it was played in a similar way to ‘Snakes and Ladders’. 📷 The Met www.metmuseum.org/art/collecti... #Archaeology

This. It would be really, really great if Democrats would start *consistently* calling out the way that the media is led around like f'ing children by the right-wing hate machine. Don't just accept the frame. Call out the frame. Force viewers to confront the frame. It's so f'ing basic.

OpenAI fired one of its top safety execs, on the grounds of sexual discrimination, after she voiced opposition to the controversial rollout of AI erotica in its ChatGPT product. OpenAI told her the term was related to her sexual discrimination against a male colleague. www.wsj.com/tech/ai/open...

🚨BREAKING: Republicans are moving quickly to pass a bill requiring voters to show proof of citizenship both to register and at the polls ahead of the 2026 midterm elections — a move that experts warn could disenfranchise millions of Americans. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

I hate everyone and everything. I will now definitely be teaching this college "ranking" in epistemology class. Diversity and meritocracy my ass.

“Dolly Parton's Imagination Library … was created over 30 years ago in honor of her father, who could not read or write. The program is dedicated to inspiring a love of reading by gifting free, high-quality, age-appropriate books to children from birth to age five”

Remembering Hugo von Hofmannsthal on his birthday 🎂 Drawing by Bertha Czegka "Where is your self to be found? Always in the deepest enchantment you have met with."

Unmarked car, no lights or police insignia. Masked armed men leap out. Victim not in the act of committing any crime. This is not how a serious federal law enforcement agency acts in a free society. How is this not supposed to be a “right wing paramilitary force loyal to the regime”?

Or how about this headline — “American citizen arrested without cause after exercising his Constitutional rights.” Very important that government propaganda not become the default framing.

I get tired of saying it, but I’ll say it again: the nature of oppression in America is that they workshop it first on Black, Latino, Asian & Native people. But it is always, in the end, coming for everyone.

reminder that a small handful of Republicans in the House and Senate could end this madness today

and we’ve got the same feds now conducting the criminal investigation into whether they committed a premeditated targeted extrajudicial killing — a criminal investigation indeed

"We took an oath to the Constitution and it's just be shredded right now."

In case you didn’t know, this is the Leonard Leo funded newspaper in Maine. Want to know what Leo is thinking or upset about, read this paper regularly. www.themainewire.com

"106,636 years of federal work experience were lost across the 10,109 employees with Ph.D.s who departed STEM or health roles 1 January–30 November." It isn't just the scientific knowledge but the *institutional* knowledge that's been lost. Rebuilding federal science will be a generational effort.

Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.
