I had no idea that Trinity University Press published @rebeccasolnit.bsky.social! What a loss for the UP world. Hard not to read these closures as a depressing sign of higher ed's waning commitment to the wider dissemination of ideas & knowledge (which, is that not the whole point of universities?)

Absolutely horrific brutality in downtown NYC

Hidden in the D.C. suburbs are thousands of acres of experimental farmland, home to the scientists who helped eradicate screwworm & invented the Roma tomato. USDA's Beltsville lab is the crown jewel of American farm science. Will Trump close it forever? www.thebanner.com/community/cl...

I am reminding myself this today that its ok to not feel strong and able to take on the world every day. Gotta have a little #compassion for myself sometimes #selfcare

Home is the heart we carry with us, no matter where we go.. “I have been in sorrow’s kitchen and licked out all the pots. Then I have stood on the peaky mountain wrapped in rainbows, with a harp and sword in my hands” Zora Neale Hurston #stunday #eastcoastkin #nature #home #rainstorms #photoshare

Okay, I figured it out… all the world is a stage, and some fool said 'Macbeth' out loud. Who was it? Own up before another lighting rig falls!

I mean you're either pro-choice or pro-women dying of septic miscarriages, living in fear, lacking bodily autonomy, etc. We've had more than three years to see what lack of reproductive rights looks like, and it looks like a sadistic nightmare.

it is interesting to me... that we have observed in the span of two weeks the remembrances of two lives and the response to those two lives is very different ... what has been left behind polar opposites It's almost as if ... what you do matters

Never give a clock as a present, because it implies the recipient's days are numbered. Also, never lock a guest in a detention center without adequate food or water for days at a time. Just a few culture pointers

Pam Bondi has a lot to say about hate speech and the First Amendment after Charlie Kirk’s murder. The problem is, everything she says is flat-out wrong under controlling Supreme Court law. Why she needs to go back to law school is in today’s write-up, in the replies.
