Getting arrested for leaning over the reflecting pool and muttering "double double toil and trouble"

I'm not the biggest connoisseur, but Rosina is a strong contender for my favorite female character in the genre. "My weird adoptive father has no idea of my secret weapon: I'm a raging bitch and I'm smarter than everyone in this house combined" that's girlpower baby

At the Reflecting Pool and guys

Just spotted a bat chilling out in the Saint-Ouen Abbey. Look at the feets!

Today is a good day to celebrate and support Black creators! If you are a Black creator, especially in the nerd space, please consider posting what you do below and also how we can buy it or support it, if possible!

It’s Juneteenth. On June 19, 1865, Gen. Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston Island & issued General Order No. 3. It announced that “all slaves are free.” This story of this one event was commemorated through the diaspora of Black Americans for more than 150 years before becoming a national holiday.

“We celebrate how far we've come, but we also recognize the responsibility to keep pushing forward. If we ever stop doing that work, then we're in real trouble." More from Black D.C. artists and organizers about celebrating Juneteenth amid nationalist celebrations of America's 250th anniversary:

Cup.

Wishing everyone a meaningful Juneteenth. Support Black-owned businesses!

Meeting new neighbour, giving them The Talk: I am a singer who hosts other singers; you will hear weird noises; let me know if there are any times you’d rather not hear them; also I will never ever complain about any noise you make if you are OK with mine

161 years later. #Juneteenth is still a federal holiday in the United States. #Juneteenth is still worth celebrating this and every year. And despite them really trying, #Juneteenth is something they could never take away. No matter what THEY tell you.

It’s true

If you can watch this without feeling something you ain't human I was rooting for the Spurs, I've never lived in New York, and this man has me crying Generational politician I want more people like him to step up and be recognized and do the work because we fucking need it now more than ever

If ever anything needed googly eyes

I like that Charlotte Brontë was basically telling a soapy saga about how the world is a hard and complicated place and sometimes Shit Happens, and Jane Austen is just like, “I’ve met the worst and simultaneously most boring people you can imagine. Hunker down, let me tell you all about them.”

Proofing the footnotes for my forthcoming book on women's clubs and music. This is my favorite headline: in 1921, Anne Oberndorfer was on a rampage, campaigning against jazz.

Some days I really miss MonkeyFilter.

Ruwa Romman, who in 2024 was denied a speaking slot at the DNC on behalf of the Uncommitted movement, has won her Democratic primary runoff in Georgia tonight to join the state Senate. (Romman was in the state House.)

Got the pill into the cat, night 2 of 7. Milo is on antacids for a week to reset his digestion after a pancreatitis flare-up. He's normally a very chill cat but does NOT like being pilled. (I tried hiding it in his food; no dice.)

have we queers ever considered if forming a shadowy cabal puppeteering powerful people from behind the scenes might be a good use of our time. like we're not doing that but maybe we should be, it seems to work well for bigots

WIZARDS (1977) - The Ending

Cannot imagine a more telling sign of Russian desperation. A wonderful, historic landmark of tremendous cultural value being attacked out of fear and what must be a growing understanding of Russian failure.

[bravely] if youre a center left party and you want to protect children online maybe enforce preexisting laws against hate speech and scams rather than banning children just so you wont alienate voters from the Adolf Hitler's Crypto Casino Party you're trying to court

i think what is happening is world cup-related but i want to congratulate bluesky on having more people in a single morning get “curaçao” right than everybody combined across 20 years of tending bar. respect the humble and lovely cedilla.

This has been a great pleasure to read!

We are calling on anyone who can to raise complaints against this article, it is one sided, from a publicly funded media outlet that is boosting the anti-trans narrative. Platforming a anti-trans org (PHSE Brighton), no pro-trans orgs, no parents of the children who will have their care removed

The last time the Knicks won it all, the president resigned the following year. Just saying.

I know we're all celebrating the Knicks right now, but LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

Last image from tonight (short film in the morning): this brother out here with his Singer sewing machine, gifting people a custom embroidery on their jerseys and hats with the name and the date, was more artistic than anything at Burning Man and ad gorgeous as a Caravaggio. Magic! Goodnight.

This one really tickles me bc not only is it joyous and not only does the beat slap but they got choreography and everything

New Yorkers singing Empire State of Mind

today the brooklyn pride parade was still going on in park slope as the knicks game began and it was a beautiful tapestry of people happy for all sorts of reasons and it was perfect.

The Hurvin Anderson exhibition at the Tate Britain is fantastic. Went to see the Whistler show there then this. Recommend both!

and sat out there until 2:30 in the morning, and then came back at 4am to make sure the job was done

Washington Nat'l Opera sues the Kennedy Center alleging that the Center STOLE the opera's endowment. WNO had a longterm agreement where KC ran the opera's development back office, and in 2025 KC just ... stopped doing it and seized the funds. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

he's not the world's first trillionaire. stop. just fucking stop. if attempting to cash in your "trillion dollars" would cause the value of the thing you are cashing in to crater, and thus not be a trillion dollars, that is not a trillion dollars. net worth is fucking meaningless.

my favorite Spanish language announcer World Cup thing ever was when they called David Beckham "Señor Spiceman"

Holy shit. Add this into today's Washington Post story (gift link) about the new Board looting the Washington National Opera's funds. wapo.st/4epXYVj

This is spot on. My technical tax burden is lower in NH than it was in MN (though my property taxes are nearly double thanks to NH's constant downshifting of state costs to local towns) but the overall cost of living here is much higher because our government simply doesn't work, and MN's does.
