A 3,500 year-old Egyptian glass cosmetic jar with two little duck heads! 🦆❤️ It belonged to a lady called Merit. Glass was a relatively new material at that time, so it would have been a precious possession. From Merit’s beauty case, Theban tomb TT8. 📷 Museo Egizio, Turin. #Archaeology

This is a legitimately great idea. Turn every ICE concentration camp into a museum of their crimes and the people who fought against them.

A thousand NYU contingent faculty went on strike Monday and today they have a real contract with real security in one of the most expensive places on earth

A viral dog rescue from 2016 is now immortalized with a statue in Kazakhstan. When a dog fell into the Sayran reservoir, bystanders formed a human chain to pull him to safety. The statue is a reminder of the value of unity, solidarity and collective action. 14/10 for all

My favorite is by Dante Gabriel Rossetti. I love that Mary’s face expresses the gravity of what she is being told by Gabriel.

Noem, Weiss, and soon Bondi. I think they put women in charge of their worst decisions so that when they inevitably fail, people will say it was because of an incompetent woman. It’s the same reason they made Colin Powell make the WMD announcement. They wanted to ruin a black man’s legacy.

I’m glad this passed. And also… When adoptees say these same exact things, nobody understands it. But when it’s within the context of fertility treatments, suddenly it’s understood that lying about biology is wrong. 🥚

I think it's vitally important that everyone know that when baby bear cubs are orphaned and taken to our local wildlife center, they get fed and rehabbed by people masking their scent and wearing costumes like this so they don't get habituated to humans

I think many people outside the curatorial/museum/art history world don't realize how much rich, dense information can be found on *backs* of paintings, with labels & other notations added when artworks are lent to museums, put up for auction, etc. Another unexpected thing I love about art history

I’m grateful for the art that Springsteen created for making it clear that people change things. We need more art that helps us to remember.

Jar lid decorated with a little bird just hatched from one of the eggs. Egyptian alabaster, wood, and ivory. Found in 1922 in the tomb of Tutankhamun, 18th Dynasty, c. 1336-1327 BC. Grand Egyptian Museum, Cairo 📷 by me #FindsFriday #Archaeology

Herman Melville on moderates, all the way back in 1857:

This dreadful book banning bill, H.R. 7661, has made it out of committee and into the House. It's time to call your reps.

We compiled our favorite moments of dogs enjoying snow this winter for you! We hope you love it ❤️ 14/10 for all

i am not joking when i saw that this is the heart of what woke 2 is all about

Dolores Huerta's statement on Cesar Chavez: “I am nearly 96 years old, and for the last 60 years have kept a secret because I believed that exposing the truth would hurt the farmworker movement I have spent my entire life fighting for... I can no longer stay silent and must share my own experiences"

"California is pledging to put 7.5 million acres under tribal stewardship in the state’s first-ever tribal stewardship policy." Absolutely *phenomenal* news & essential. We need this, across Turtle Island, fast. We don't time. But WOW. What an amazing thing to see in my lifetime.

“A key measure aimed at private equity prevents Wall Street from buying large numbers of single-family homes.” Thank you @warren.senate.gov!!

A reminder that if you quote tweet trash media when they are trying to create more hate and outrage, you are giving them what they want. Ignore or subtweet, but don’t encourage or reward them. Remember, this is Bluesky.

Also your attention, just like your privacy and labor, makes money for a lot of companies. Withhold it/ give wisely and see how quickly things will turn around.

Delroy was robbed.

3. "Our warfighters deserve training with integrity." Education is not training. Education provides the context for training. It is the cognitive reps and sets that ground the muscle memory training provide. They are mutually reinforcing but distinct. But I understand the allure: training is binary.

I was wondering how long after “the death of the paperback” was announced that we would see someone trying to reinvent the concept of pocket-sized books. Took about 5 minutes. #LivingBookHistory

It is common? One estimate is that in Minnesota alone, over 17,000 people of the Korean #adoptee diaspora lack US citizenship because of their adopters’ negligence. americancommunitymedia.org/immigration/...

you ever sometimes think about how Frankenstein was a cautionary tale about instrumentalizing life by boiling it down to only its parts, and withholding love and the ability to learn in a safe environment, ultimately undermining personhood? I think about that sometimes.

LLM's provide a simulacrum of what it looks like to "know" something. ChatGPT can not "know," only humans can "know." And "knowing" is a mysterious, precious, unfolding thing...and it used to be the reason why many people went to college, because they wanted to experience "knowing" new things.

Here's my bottom line: Much of what they are doing is bad. Much of what they are doing is unpopular. Pushback is working. We are winning. Keep fighting. Be creative. Push for what you'd want. Allow for insiders and outsiders. Realize that change takes time. Reduce harm in the meantime.

Fuck Target and every single person who is getting paid to bypass the truth.

If we had a moment, where everyone in the US, from Alaska to Maine, had to sing in the round and then do the wave, we would fix our country.

Newly restored online: Leonardo da Vinci's Notebook, also known as the Codex Arundel (Arundel MS 263), written in his characteristic mirror-writing with diagrams, drawings, brief texts, and personal notes. You can consult the entire manuscript online now: searcharchives.bl.uk/catalog/040-...

On Harriet Tubman Day, one of my all-time favorite images by Jacob Lawrence: the joyful & ebullient screenprint "Play," based on panel #4 from the 1940 "Life of Harriet Tubman" series. The series, thirty-one paintings in all, was one of Lawrence's first major bodies of work

Let’s get one thing straight: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.

Spell like no one is watching.

Utah has some of the worst, most coercive private adoption policies. Glad to see this new legislation is pushing some agencies out of business

Yesterday I filmed several baby birds walking across a street directly at my camera and asked Bluesky to suggest music Several dozen folks did Some even dubbed music over the original clip. I haven't been able to get this out of my head. So I give you A Bluesky exclusive: Reservoir Ducks 🐣 🪶

It's an MTV simulator with almost 30,000 videos, organized by decade, with special sections for Headbanger's Ball and Yo! MTV Raps. This is so good.

This is where I came from. Like mine, most of the baby farms were evangelical. My birth mother was told that she had to be like Mary and give her baby up to God. And then, to forget about that child as if nothing ever happened. Which of course is impossible so it created trauma for her and for me. 🥚

I just saw a Gen Zer in their Camry, Jim Morrison hair and mirror sunglasses, smoking a cigarette and blaring Billy Joel Movin’ Out (Anthony’s Song). I hope he has a great day.

Thank you! At an event last night I said "If the word hope doesn't work for you try, 'Never fucking surrender.'" The word hope seems too sunny to a lot of people, but the heart of it as I'm interested in it is: we make the future in the present, if we show up, and that never surrender part.

New research on long-term mental health effects on mother-child separation due to adoption 🥚 #adopteesky Article link: www.mdpi.com/2076-0760/15...

This reminds me of something Toni Morrison wrote.

No interruptions, please. We’re building universal child care.

Pres. Obama at the Jackson service: "We are living in a time when it can be hard to hope. Each day, we wake up to some new assault on our democratic institutions." "If we don't step up, no one else will. How fortunate we were that Jesse Jackson answered that call. What a great debt we owe to him."

Michelangelo was only 24 when he carved the Pieta.

A new study by Winston-Salem State University, published March 2026, analyzed responses from 1,313 adoptees, first mothers, and fathers through the PEAR survey. The results indicate that adoption has a profound and lasting negative impact on both adoptees and first mothers. buff.ly/yXC9dWX 🥚
