FL deems intro textbooks in my discipline illegal. It's bc Sociology analyzes systems...it gives people the practical thinking tools to dismantle the master's house. As a fmr English Lit major, Sociology is the most powerful thing I've ever learned. I see why the Temu Savonarolas are scared of it.

#PhantomsFriday This is a portrait of the ghost of a woman who strangled her child. It was drawn from life by Reginald Easton at Thurstaston Hall, Cheshire. According to Lord Halifax's account, Easton said, 'I beg your pardon, madam; I am an artist. Will you allow me to make a sketch of you?'

everyone is 12 is a nice theory, but the truth is more like everyone is trying to impress themselves at 14

RIP to Jesse Jackson. His funeral is today. I wanted to share this clip from his appearance on Sesame Street in 1971. His important words ring just as true today as they did back then.

If you know of any openings, gigs, or leads—or if you know someone who might be hiring—please message me or tag them here. Even sharing this post would mean a lot. Thank you so much for any help or connections.

That said, I’m also very open to other types of work. I have experience in customer service, restaurants, retail, and hospitality, and I’m a dependable worker who learns quickly and works well with people. At this point I’m willing to consider a wide range of opportunities.

I normally don’t post things like this, but I’m putting it out there because I really need to find work as soon as possible. My main skill set is as a musician, and I’m actively looking for opportunities related to music—performing, teaching, studio work, or anything in that space.

tech CEO in 2026: My computer has anxiety. venture capitalist in 2026: Here, have 200 billion more dollars. child in 2006: My NeoPet is angry at me. mom in 2006: No it isn't sweetie, go to bed. mom to dad in 2006: We have an idiot boy. Our boy is a little idiot person. It's too late to fix him.

NEW: The White House confirmed that Trump is pushing congressional lawmakers to make additions to the SAVE America Act specifically targeting transgender people — a move that appears to be weaponizing culture-war issues to pressure Republicans to back the suppressive bill.

👉 Pete Sessions father William Sessions represented Semion Mogilevich, international leader of the Russian mafia. The more ya know..

not to brag buttttttttt guess whose insurance decided she’s allowed to have an MRI 🥳

To take this seriously a sec: when your political-economic system allows massive inequality to explode, it creates a class of people who have no material problems but do have the resources & power to make their trivial irritations the central business of politics—at immense material cost to others.

Im a historian of vaccination. Every semester/year since 2015, I teach the histories of smallpox vaccination. And every semester/year, I have had anti-vaxxers/vaccine hesitant people in my classes. If I want to change their minds, telling them how evil or stupid they are isn't going to cut it.

I do think “Graham Platner was a bartender who personally served some DC pundits and reporters and was known to them” is a pretty big part of the skeleton key to unlocking how he got so much cash and media attention so fast and why they’re so determined to stay all in on him now

U.S. Customs told the trade court it aims for a streamlined process in 45 days to return importers' money without requiring individual lawsuits. n.pr/4lhvQGO

A huge chunk of our punditry really does seem to be having some kind of weird, almost existential crisis over the very concept of gender itself. Male pundits-the Ezra Kleins and Jonathan Chaits of the world, have been seized by intense anxiety about their own masculinity.

Not one of these ghouls knows a trans kid, understands anything about the actual circumstances or humanity of trans kids, or gives a shit. To them, trans kids play a purely symbolic role: they are a Weak Other that can be abused as form of collective self-soothing. So fucking gross.

It is repulsive to me -- morally, aesthetically, politically -- on a scale that I genuinely don't know how to describe. It's just so deeply, deeply gross, to be so filled with weakness that you abuse other, weaker people to feel better. What a horrible kind of human, to do that, to *allow* that.

I lack the words to capture it, but ... it's just endlessly remarkable to me that so many people in our society have chosen trans kis -- TRANS KIDS, the smallest, least significant, most vulnerable demographic slice you could possibly pick -- as a repository for all their fears & insecurities.

BREAKING: hell no, we are not going to let Donald Trump rename, close & demolish the Kennedy Center! We just filed for expedited court relief on behalf of @repbeatty.bsky.social We @democracydefendersaction.org are proud to fight back with cocounsel Washington Litigation Group

Security measures include Kash Patel firing the veteran team that used to do this work, and Trump hiring a 22 year-old grocery clerk to oversee the effort.

Yes, they did, I believe both at the appeals court and SCOTUS. #Awkward

Can they get a refund on the fuck plane at least

Pretty sure when they started imposing this idiocy they assured a bunch of judges that they would be able to refund the money with no problem if it ever came to that.

Telling courts that refunds would be "automatic" and "assured" was the government's way of avoiding emergency relief.

Thing is Newsome is notoriously free of principals. His latest statements on Israel are a clear weathervane the political winds have shifted whether WSJ admits it or not.

SCOOP: Proton Mail provided Swiss authorities with payment data that the FBI then used to determine who was allegedly behind an anonymous account affiliated with the Stop Cop City movement in Atlanta, according to a court record reviewed by 404 Media.

The Trump Administration can’t even impose its will on Minneapolis when the full force of the federal government was focused on it, but surely they will be able to pacify and remake Iran, a nation of 90 million people halfway around the world.

The entire classics department at every university just sat bolt upright.

I would like to be present when government lawyers tell a 78-year-old judge “we can’t follow your order because the computer won’t let us.” That’s always fun.

It reeks of weakness. Bullying trans people is his most popular issue, having to throw that in there just shows how little sway he has

Gotta make sure you get the trans panic in there to trick the rabids into thinking the SAVE act is a good thing. Weaponize fear Divide and conquer

CNN's Dana Bash reports on a convo she just had with Trump: "He said there are now five things in this SAVE America Act that he wants the House and Senate to pass. He said, 'No mail in ballots, no men in women's sports, and no transgender operations for youth.' He added those two."
