Relevant to Charlottesville. (Had a nearly identical visit in 1989 when I rented in a condo building downtown.) www.instagram.com/reel/DT6LiXA...

Pam Bondi is a word I don’t want to say in a public forum. But I am screaming that word rn irl.

To overcome racial inequality, we must confront our history. (@eji.org) calendar.eji.org/racial-injus...

You do not know how badly I wish I’d come up with this (or stolen it) when I was still working at UVa.

Truth 🐋

I am white and grew up in S.C. I was 9 and remember this being talked about. You don’t have to stretch your imagination to know exactly what I heard. calendar.eji.org/racial-injus...

If you think this as outrageous as I do, come share your opinion at the joint City Council/School Board meeting, Monday, February 9 at 5:00 pm at Walker School.

JFC. It’s not a panacea, but organizing and voting does still matter.

Without naming your job, tell me something you say over and over again at work. Less than 0.001% of the written historical record survives.

This, 100% ⬇️⬇️⬇️

I quaked to think of it.

100% unadulterated truth

Really, @uvapress.bsky.social ? Very disappointing.

So I guess they’ll vacuum up the ice with the leaves? 🤔

Fair enough

Methinks we have hugely mistaken this matter of Life and Death.

Nope. [gift link] www.nytimes.com/2026/01/27/w...

Let me add “IF YOU ARE JUST TOO LAZY TO CLEAN OFF THE TOP OF YOUR CAR, stay home.” 🤬🤬🤬

Help if you can. It’s cold out there, in many ways.

We must watch for a breach in the living wall that hemmed us in; the wall that had only admitted us in order to shut us up.

‘twas ever thus🐋

👏👏👏

I bet they’re making plans to defend Greenland. 🐧

Excuse me, Mr. Stubb? [it means “swindled”]

Did not know a US acknowledgment of Danish control of all Greenland was part of the purchase of what are now the US Virgin Islands. In a treaty. Ratified by the Senate 09/07/1916. 😡

Mood.

A reminder to fellow Virginians: the Commonwealth “celebrated” Lee-Jackson-King Day from 1984 until 2000. In 2001, MLK Day and LJ Day were split into separate holidays. Lee-Jackson Day was finally scrapped in 2020.

At least D@vid Fr&nch’s editorial today quoted a March ‘25 article by Aziz Huq (gift link below) in The Atlantic that reminded me I need to add “The Dual State” by Ernst Fraenkel to my growing pile of books-that-told-us-Nazis-are-bad-and-we-need-to-pay-attention www.theatlantic.com/magazine/arc...

Thou art a full ship and homeward bound, thou sayst; well, then, call me an empty ship, and outward-bound.

A message for #ICE

The Finding Out continues

The Finding Out has begun.

“ICE agents, get out now because historically, this ends with you hanging from a lamppost and your body paraded through the streets.” - the …we rate dogs guy

This is worth a look— she succinctly and accurately describes ICE as 21st century slave patrols. From instagram @ashleytheebarroness www.instagram.com/reel/DTb2VBJ...

So, I was standing at the kitchen counter opening the letter seen below left when I heard a thud behind me. I turned to see the scene on the right. I think the message is clear: “nice refrigerator you got there— shame if anything happened to it.”😵

More’s the pity.

Just when you think the unholy #UVa mess can’t go any lower, suddenly there’s a knock on the floor. 🤬 augustafreepress.com/news/vanishi...
