This makes me physically ill. I suppose a particular type of American will hold their wedding at a plantation before honeymooning in Gaza.

The thing MAGA fails to understand: if high ranking Democrats are caught up in Epstein’s pedophile and sex trafficking ring, WE WANT THEM ARRESTED TOO. We do not worship politicians.

A person can live on holiday cookies and coffee, right?

“No president is legally allowed to tear down portions of the White House without any review whatsoever — not President Trump, not President Biden, and not anyone else,” the lawsuit states.

If self driving cars become the norm, I will be staying completely off the roads

A comrade is selling some great pins in their Etsy store. I think they're on sale until midnight: www.etsy.com/shop/wildfan...

Turns out that trying to remember everything I have to do, forgetting, waking up panicky in the middle of the night, and feeling constantly overwhelmed does not work. So I just set up a task management app, @ticktickapp.bsky.social. Will it work? I don't know, but I already feel calmer.

This is lovely research, with real payoffs in terms of solving historical puzzles that we've been wondering about for ages. theconversation.com/drones-physi...

Just spent way too long trying to figure out how to turn off AI Summaries and other AI created content. Also started searching a way to turn off the AI "assistant" in my learning management system. If these instructions exist, they're sure not easy to find.

Since my divorce, every time I accomplish some task that I might have put on a “honey do” list in my previous life, I give myself an imaginary gold star. This weekend, YouTube and I remedied an issue with my shower. No plumber needed. ⭐️

I have been working too many hours and traveling (both for work and for family) way too many days in a row. Home today, cleaning and doing laundry. You’d think I was at a party; I am so happy!

The hell you say? Our illustrious Secretary of Health and Human Services doesn't know what he's talking about? This is my shocked face: 🙄

Yes. That was me this morning on the 695 spur in DC trying to remove a piece of rebar that got stuck under my vehicle.

It’s a stress-crying in the ladies room kind of day.

NEW: Epstein survivors release the most powerful PSA I have ever seen. Make this go viral so every member of the House of Representatives sees it.

If a man said what Megyn Kelly said, you would assume he was a trafficker. This young lady is wise beyond her years, but she is still a “child”and she would like a word…

Looks like my purple chosen home state is a bit more blue today. www.nbcnews.com/politics/ele...

We’ve received a lot of questions about Trump’s demolition of the White House East Wing. Here’s how the process is supposed to work:

I write this for a few reasons. 1) Accountability on something specific. 2) To model to swaths of Jewish leadership that *it's possible* to take accountability for genocide complicity. 3) To talk about repentance & repair work post-genocide. It all still matters. It doesn't stop mattering now.

“This is a movement…This is an achievement of a whole society…I am just one person.” The beautiful humility of Venezuelan pro-democracy leader, Maria Corina Machado, the 2025 Nobel Peace Prize recipient.

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

For the record. My posts were not even about Kirk directly, but about America's apathy towards political violence, and the coddling of white male shooters and hate peddlers. I was fired because I mentioned race: white men and violence-- that was my "gross misconduct."

I don't know what I think about the fact that every piece of commentary or bit of news is either behind a paywall or requires a membership fee for the latest content. On the one hand, writers should be compensated, full stop. On the other hand, how many substacks will I actually read?

This may explain why there’s an aggressive response to people who merely post Kirk’s own words. It threatens the existence of the alternate Kirk - the motivational speaker that had been marketed to young kids and white Christian groups through selective quotation & clips.

This is the official spokesperson for the White House, stating that the President hopes to deploy the United States military to occupy every city controlled by the political party that opposes him. Explicitly.

I do not believe that completing a public history project or portfolio rather than writing a traditional MA thesis is a barrier to entry into a PhD Program. Am I wrong? Please share your experiences.

Oh HELL yes

Dear movie theaters. I would go out to the movies more often if you did not put 30 minutes of commercials and previews before the show. Nobody like that a 7:30 showtime actually means an 8:00 start.

Hell yeah!! Women's professional baseball is finally becoming a reality. Come to LA. We will love you here! #womensprofessionalbasebaleague #baseball #womensbaseball #monedavis @wpbl.bsky.social www.nbcnews.com/news/amp/rcn...

Everything is going to hell without the comfort of a hand basket, but I just bought a ticket to see the Price Sign O’ The Times concert film in IMAX tomorrow evening. I only saw him live once and this will not be the same, but it is still amazing!!

Totally necessary military presence on the god damned metro

More absolutely disgusting evidence of DC becoming a police state

I commute from Alexandria, VA, to Baltimore, MD. In 19 years have dealt with traffic. I have seen accidents. But nothing prepared me for the daily blockade of police and national guardsmen standing in the right lane of a major DC artery, slowing traffic, peering into cars, and pulling people over.

IDK but perhaps I should stop telling co-workers I have been burned out for years. (Too late)

Half a semester's syllabus plus all of the assignment descriptions and due dates is better than no syllabus, right?

I wrote an essay a few years ago about a U.S. soldier during the Civil War who visited the plantation where Solomon Northup (of 12 Years A Slave fame) was enslaved. The soldier wrote in his diary that the horror of slavery was even worse than what Northup had written. web.archive.org/web/20140120...

We are outraged and deeply distressed that armed federal agents came onto our campus—making arrests on the very ground where, in 1942, Japanese American families were forced to board buses bound for concentration camps. It was a deliberate act of provocation and intimidation.
