It's me. You just noticed me.

J'ai essayé de taper "Franco-Ontarien" et j'ai fini par obtenir "Frano-Ontarien", ce qui signifie, je suppose, un stan ontarien de Fran Drescher.

Тот факт, что это *неироничный* пост в ТГ от знаменитого литературного журнала (Москва), пугает.

"...if you go back 400 years ago, it never would have occurred to anybody to be introspective." 1626: Rembrandt produces his first etchings, Henrietta Maria--a Catholic--refuses to participate in her husband's Protestant coronation, 9 Jesuit missionaries and 8 Japanese converts face martyrdom...

Me: I just think all women should be allowed flamethrowers. Flamethrowers…and hoop skirts! @rozalijagrace.com , wisely: I don’t think those would go well together, hon #feminism

En tant que francophone non-native trilingue d'extraction russe, loyaliste, et Franco-Ontarienne, détenant la double citoyenneté (🇨🇦/🇺🇸) par la naissance, grandi en Alaska avant de faire mes études au Québec, je ressens la peine de cet homme.

I'm from Alaska and--in fairness--have you ever *had* Alaskan king crab? That's more value for money than most Pentagon purchases.

On International Women's Day, always remember the greatest lesson of Russian history: The Russian Empire was ruled for most of the 18th c. by women & became a pre-eminent world power in science, art & geopolitics. It was ruled for all of the 19th c. by men & ended in misery, famine & revolution.

US foreign policy is very scattershot, and it is hard to draw lines through its data points that come out straight enough to look credibly like consistent, long-term goals. For reasons I cannot fathom, one of the few solid throughlines over 35 years seems to be: "Bleed the Kurdish nation to death."

A lot of people think “surely nobody wants to fuck someone they think is subhuman,” and these people need to be taught about the concept of heterosexual men.

Historically? Put a woman in charge.

"I was supposed to be / someone by then, but mostly I was / a person who hoarded notebooks" - excerpt from Turning 30, Motel Light, and Other Illusions, poetry by Rowan Tate #TheMetaworker themetaworker.com/2026/03/02/t...

I have my criticisms of NATO allies, and of NATO itself, but for all the White House's bitching about how much they cost to defend, I can't remember the last time the Netherlands or Iceland blew up $90 million of US equipment.

Poets and poetry lovers, do you have a few minutes to complete a survey on line breaks? It’s part of a research project led by one of my graduate students. Please feel free to share. Thanks for considering. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

I love a good ghazal, and I especially love an innovative use of the form, and this, in @blackbirdjournal.bsky.social, is *fabulous*:

I am so very pleased to be part of the tenth issue of @aothenmagazine.bsky.social! If you haven't already, please do check out all the wonderful work assembled there (including mine, obviously).

The article even starts, "In the early ’90s, a group of scholars and artists from Indigenous communities . . . fostered the ethno-futurist movement." THE DREAM OF THE 90s IS ALIVE IN PORTLAND!!!

I’m thinking @rozalijagrace.com was maybe onto something with the idea of doing Torah-based video responses to Christian rock lyrics.

The next time someone tries to tell me that "the arc of the universe bends toward justice" or that "God has not abandoned us", I'm just going to smack them with the rolled-up Olympic hockey results.
