Washington DC! I will be doing an event next Weds (11/19) for Lessons in Magic and Disaster. It's at As You Are, a wonderful queer space, and hosted by Little District Books. I would consider it a huge personal kindness if you spread the word. littledistrictbooks.com/products/les...

Kind of wild that while food assistance was withheld from millions of families, one Trump-supporting billionaire (Ellison) saw his net worth grow more this year than the entire SNAP budget. And the YTD gains of the other four richest men would’ve fully covered salaries for all 2M federal employees.

Now that it's dark by 5 PM, note for my fellow pedestrians: No, drivers can't see you in your dark jacket jaywalking between street lights. Please wear something reflective, please cross at the crosswalk with the light, please be careful. Thanks!

Caving on a deal that doesn’t fix health care is, and always has been, a giant betrayal of the American people. Hold the line. Save health care. I’m a NO on anything that doesn’t extend ACA subsidies.

The NYTimes article on Mamdani at Bowdoin is "a wreck, but of a form so pure, so purely Timesian, you almost have to admire it. It certainly is instructive." lithub.com/maybe-dont-t...

Jackson's dissent, joined by Sotomayor and Kagan, says the evidence showed that gender-incongruent passports led to humiliating, invasive searches of trans Americans (including strip searches) since their gender marker didn't align with their appearance. The policy is both cruel and irrational.

YouTube has deleted more than 700 videos posted by Palestinian human rights groups, ranging from investigations into the killing of American journalist Shireen Abu Akleh by an Israeli soldier, to testimonies of Palestinians tortured by Israeli forces. theintercept.com/2025/11/04/y...

Did you know? Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people. Our database allows you to search for organizations and people that have paid them, reimbursed them for travel and given them gifts.

Non-traditional dissertations include DH projects, comic books, installations, documentaries, podcasts, and rap albums, but these dissertators face a unique issue: satisfying their institution’s requirement to submit their dissertation to ProQuest. Glenn Wright explains for #FeedingTheElephant.

Got tired of reading the news and getting mad. Feeding America backs 200+ food banks around the country and I've seeded with $500 for now. I'll match up to another $500 myself. Pass the hat, RTs graciously appreciated, etc.
