How do I know I’m too online? I just saw my third Haaland/Bellingham edit today. This one was to Olivia Rodrigo.

Semi-annual reminder that every bartender is leaps and bounds better at conflict resolution than all cops.

A good rule of thumb. Should a Nazi tattoo have been disqualifying? Why yes, yes it should have been.

One thing about a bartender: they can spot a Type

Reminder: there is no excuse for smearing women who come forward about sexual assault. It doesn’t make you righteous because you agree politically with the abuser.

And by brave, I really mean selfless. There is a long history of victims who never would have come forward for themselves being willing to take on huge sacrifices for others, especially in high stakes situations.

The reason the allegations get worse as the election draws closer isn’t political opportunism. Survivors often hesitate to reopen their traumas—especially to national scrutiny. But realizing how many other victims there are and how much power their perpetrator could hold can make people very brave.

One of my good friends works at Clemson and we’ve been talking about this whole saga for a while. Bananas.

I am very upset that none of the Islanders got Tefi’s “Jungle 2 Jungle” reference. A classic.

Feels like no war but class war would preclude being on the same side as Beal. Also: fuck that guy.

The tyranny of Zohran Mamdani using tax dollars to provide services benefitting the people paying taxes chill me to the bone and demonstrate the rank selfishness of his political project, “we pay the taxes so we should get something out of it” Self-absorbed egotism, that’s all it is.

People keep lowering the bar with these speculative Phillis Wheatley attributions. Any old heroic couplets from the period it seems! I’m against it. Treat her like a real poet and attribute poems more judiciously. I’ll have a word in print about this eventually.

What do you mean abolishing ICE is not doable? It was created in 2003. There are Missy Elliot songs older than ICE.

I have just discovered that Mikey Sainristil is doing Love Island episode reviews on the Commanders’ TikTok. Do what that information what you will.

My son just asked why Netherlands has so many Black people on the team I told him we are everywhere.

Come hang out today! We’ll have Jamaican Jerk Pit and CAKE!!

Reminding myself that I don’t in fact get paid to educate people on NextDoor. (Yes, I did reply to the predictable “the Irish were slaves” reply. Save me from myself.) #a2council

the camcorder is SENDING ME i love him lmao

Huge news! I am profoundly honored to be endorsed by @esavit.bsky.social, Washtenaw County’s Prosecuting Attorney and Michigan’s next Attorney General. Eli’s tireless dedication to justice inspires us all. I feel incredibly grateful for his trust and partnership as we move forward.

Shades of #a2council deer cull?

bring back shame

This is just straightforward white nationalist great replacement rhetoric, the kind of thing that would have been confined to neo-Nazi forums a decade ago. Multiple mass shooters in recent years believed exactly this.

Here comes a hyperlocal post. You might even say this post is Ann Arbor AF. Click the link for an informative #A2Council election discussion plus voting recommendations from the A2AF podcast team.👇 annarboraf.com/episode-84-p...

At first I was worried the ref cameras were meta glasses but I keep getting reminded that they’re not and that’s beautiful.

Since when does VAR decide what was a clear and obvious penalty?!

This couldn’t have dropped four hours ago before I taught my class on the reparations debate? (I had the decision to allow the original lawsuit to continue on my slides)

From the Glasgow antiracist rally.

"We think that building housing is part of the solution. We think net zero is part of the solution. We think a car-light development is part of the solution. We think building a sense of place and community is part of the solution." -- leader of the Squamish nation www.nytimes.com/2026/06/15/o...

Philly people should check out this event. Amazing lineup!

As a reminder for everyone saying, "The US had never before scored four goals in a World Cup" that they mean the men's team had never before scored that many. The women's team has absolutely scored more than four goals in a world cup, including in the final. And they also wins things.

Wake up #A2Council, a new @annarboraf.bsky.social episode has dropped annarboraf.com/episode-84-p...

Worlds colliding! #a2council (This post is not an endorsement of Melanie’s crash out queen ways)

Great news #AnnArbor #a2Council: Vet's Park Pool opens today at 1 p.m. Thanks to park staff for their excellent work getting this important community asset repaired quickly following the April tornado. More info: www.a2gov.org/parks-and-re...

Glad (at least some) university presses are making this explicit, but what an abomination that we live in a moment where peer reviewers need to be specifically instructed to not submit unpublished book manuscripts through LLMs to generate a reader’s report.

good morning to everyone who accurately perceived the mutually reinforcing structures of white and male supremacy

They were also covered in green slime, trapped inside Hidden Temple, and forced to compete for a piece of The Crag

Please share their fundraiser for a trans woman who was detained in April and faces the threat of removal like so many despite pending applications and existing withholding of removal orders. Juliana is a community health worker with trans youth in MD. www.gofundme.com/f/help-tania...

Some liberals are OBSESSED with "private" prisons as though the problem is not simply PRISONS. Folks, the vast majority of prisons in the U.S. are PUBLIC NOT PRIVATE. And they are HELL HOLES. OK? I need folks to stop and actually focus on the PROBLEM which is PRISONS AND JAILS.

In case you were wondering how absurd things are over here, someone on FB has just responded to a critique of Platner by implying it’s unfair to criticize him because he is against the war in Gaza. Can’t make this shit up. #a2council

This week many New School faculty are getting notices that they’ve been fired. I also heard that the U Texas Mexican American and Latina/o Studies had its signage removed and trashed with no warning, after being “consolidated” aka eliminated. What a grim week for higher ed.

This is what happens when queer people hate your party. There’s no one there to plan one.

Today’s #amwriting set up.

Also MIT: We’re closing down the libraries and firing the librarians!

Before and after of Mondays mulch extravaganza. Because of course I did this all myself.

Every country that has benefited from Cuba’s medical diplomacy has an obligation to speak up for Cuban people in the face of US aggression.
