"Spooky Socks"

In honor of National Poetry Day, the greatest parody rewrite of all time:

This will be forever one of my favourite garments in the V&A. It is a late #1890s coat from Marshall & Snelgrove, featuring hand embroidered sweet cicely flowers with white felt petals that float on top of blue velvet, V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

Have been for months.

This is why we fund scientists to study things like oyster slobber even if you don’t think it sounds important

Hmmm.

Poster I made for the Great Midwest Crane Fest!

This made me laugh 3 times today

This only happens to you once

Finished @kashana.blacksky.app The Payback last night - loved it! A fierce new take on atheist novel which would be an awfully fun movie...

🏺 This thread is cute but also so useful to remember what Ötzi teaches us about dynamic temporal lives of prehistoric people: he died on an epic journey, carrying a huge range of kit with tools part-way through being made, and with embers and medicine in anticipation of his next fire, & his future.

I'm sure @scohar70.bsky.social already has his front-runner, but...

I finished painting my house today

"How Are the Very Rich Feeling About New York’s Next Mayor?" A Dramatic Reading of The Recent New York Times Dispatch from the Hamptons. Presented by The Gilded Age's Morgan Spector.

The New York Times on pardoning the biggest drug dealer of all time and an accused murderer vs the NYT on pardoning a guy who filled out his application for a firearms permit incorrectly. It makes you think is all I'm saying!

Tech startup idea: instead of starting your car with your key, you get in, turn on the display panel, enter your password, get your phone out, open the authenticator app, enter your pin, enter the timed passcode, then open the start menu, then helpdesk, then "request engine start", then submit a tic

A friend took this at a rally today and I barked laughing.

That's like $10 a bottle off! Not insignificant!!

Steak and sparrow pudding anyone? Here's what people were turning to for food in Britain 1917/18 as food shortages began really to bite: sparrow, cormorant, seal steak, and cakes made from ground up bracken root. Continuing my project on food journalism in times of crisis.

Imagine it's 1850 and you've just been flattened by an elite cavalry officer who just yells "SOWWY" as he thunders away.

This is my new favourite video! 👀😍 #bluesky

To me, this is Digital Humanities

Today is the 47th anniversary of this clearly unimprovable photo, from a story so absurd that it shouldn’t be true, but is: the day a team of workers from British Waterways pulled the plug out of the Chesterfield Canal, and all the water emptied out

here's a death you can actually mourn www.whec.com/top-news/roc...

Virginia friends! Support the folks at @catoctincreek.bsky.social and their delicious new applejack by asking Virginia ABC to carry it!

Please let them come home soon.

The thing about the Epstein disgustingness that strikes me hardest is that hundreds of rich old men raped underage girls and the only person currently in jail for that vile behavior is a woman.

If the current president wishes to distract us from the Epstein Files, he can focus on releasing Venezuelan prisoners, with no criminal records, sent to CECOT without due process, including Andry, a gay makeup artist seeking political asylum. www.msnbc.com/msnbc/amp/rc...

It’s so much worse this time. It might not be clear if you don’t live in LA, but the supposed “riots” are tiny. They’re nothing like George Floyd in 2020. Protests are happening in a few blocks downtown and as resistance to specific ICE raids. This is 100% pretense for fascist subjugation.
