very super normal Tuesday we're all having

The end of the semester is kicking my ass, I do NOT have time for nuclear war right now

All I want from my Senators is for them to be arrested for civil disobedience.

The pope said contact your representative.

i think the overall message of the artemis two mission has been love

Here at TGS Studios™ we love our fans :-)

today grief looks like crying over the newly named crater on the moon and also crying over the dad watching his son go to space

Love the idea here, but they will not be stunned at all - this is exactly what happened with non-slaveholding, impoverished white folks in the South. (Among other examples.) I literally just lectured on it. Racism is a hell of a drug.

I'm excited to announce that I have received the Ph.D. Dissertation Fellowship from the Early Modern Studies Institute for 2026-27! EMSI has been my intellectual home since I started my graduate training at USC, and I'm so grateful to EMSI for their continued support of my scholarship!

Friends doing cool things!!! Congratulations Scott!!

i think it's broken

Would be nice to have government officials who don’t fall for AI slop

call me crazy but i prefer when my museums that discuss the violent culmination of authoritarianism actually *don't* comply in advance with authoritarian regimes ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

holy shit.... its just a never-ending nightmare isnt it

a few weeks ago, i explained to my brother what qualifying exams and a prospectus defense were and after laying it all out, he paused and asked in a very concerned tone: "...and you chose to do this voluntarily?" and i have thought about it almost every day since....

it's a senior sunday over here! (she got too hot in the window but i have a suspicion it's becuase her bones are old)

Nothing like a white wine roadie while you destroy the world to make your friends rich

Every time Trump is quiet or hasn’t been seen for a day, these rumors start. My guess is they called a lid because it’s a holiday weekend and/or things are going really shitty with the war and they don’t want to talk about it atm. 🤷‍♂️

queer southern activists have my heart forever and always example ten million

Great news out of Georgia! ALL of the 15 anti-LGBTQ+ bills have died as the Georgia legislative session comes to a close. This was only possible with intense efforts from local LGBTQ+ activists. Subscribe to support our journalism.

U of Minnesota has named a new School of Nursing scholarship after Alex Pretti.

i was leading section this morning (discussing jan gross' neighbors) a student said one of the major themes of the book was the holocaust and "unaliving" and without missing a beat i replied "well we don't have to censor ourselves for an algorithm right now"

Just as a reminder, the second iteration of the Ku Klux Klan was wildly and violently anti-Catholic.

Someone sent me this.

It's an obvious point but it needs to be said: protesting Israel's actions is not antisemitism. Demanding lists of Jews from a university is. Full stop.

This is largely by design. If we stop thinking about AI as simply technology and instead as part of a political and economic program, its chief function become easier to see: namely to erode interpersonal trust so that ultimately we give up on forms of agreement & negotiation arbitrated by people.

We are sharing behind the scenes footage and extended interviews with all the comrades at the Power to the People Y’all IG.

Seriously, this is a Biden era "I've got your back"-esque statement. Use the powers you have at your disposal like you promised.

trans rights are human rights and that's all there is to it

this after preying on vulnerable populations, selling them false promises, deploying them to fight endless wars, and if they return, fundemenally failing to support them in countless ways cool cool cool

"ICE agents will be stationed outside graduation events for the nation’s newest Marines to identify whether any of their family members are undocumented, according to the Marine Corps."

using graduation of US Marines as an opportunity to harvest some of their relatives for deportation

I’m sooooo tired of doomerism and catastrophizing when it’s possible to pull one’s head out of one’s rear and see things like this happening

if anyone wants to know what living in Los Angeles with no car is like… I need to get a battery replaced on a swatch watch and have determined it might just be easier for me to go to the store in Berlin this summer then to go to the one in Culver City
