Chapter 1 - Posset / Macbeth! Lady Macbeth stirs drugs into the guards possets to help Macbeth murder King Duncan. Possets—concoctions of hot alcohol, spices, and dairy—were consumed before bed to promote sleep. 📸 @gaypanek.bsky.social

Why should we think about Shakespeare in the kitchen as well as in the classroom, in the library & on the stage? My introduction makes a case for embodied humanities research as a form of knowledge making & provides background information about food in Shakespeare’s England. 📸 @gaypanek.bsky.social

“Merely disliking this thing/person for personal reasons is inadequate, I must make my dislike a sign of moral superiority and a Righteous Cause” is one of the worst social things the internet has supercharged

There is also a met gala going on in my apartment if you even care. The theme is winnie the pooh (bc I don't want to put on pants)

If being left behind by ai would mean they would actually leave me alone and not force their ai on me, I would be happy to be left in the dust

@nicosiamarissa.bsky.social !!!!!! The foretold hour has arrived!

People are pining for old technologies—CD players, VCRs, Walkmans. What’s behind our longing for inconvenience? www.newyorker.com/culture/essa...

I’m super happy about more sunlight but dang the time change is hecking me up

Bringing a real Philly energy into Native Plant messaging with @the666cat.bsky.social 😈

setting aside all the zionists baying online for human blood, this may be the dumbest post to come out of all of 2025

If you need me, don’t 🙃 I’m photoshopping a puddle of melted wax off the floor in like 50 different photos because I didn’t notice it while I was shooting

wdym it’s Valentine’s Day weekend and I’m expected to pay attention to live human romantic partners instead of the fictional couples who live in my head

hey Philly folks, if you’re interested in learning how to start your own little backyard garden, my sweetie is doing a teach-in at Grindcore House tomorrow at 6:30pm 🌱

BREAKING: The House passed the so-called SAVE America Act which threatens to upend our freedom to vote. The bill could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters by requiring documents like passports or birth certificates to register to vote and forcing voter roll purges. The Senate must reject it.

age verification? I once hand-programmed an ataris song as a ringtone on my Nokia 3310 in high school. (It was IOU One Galaxy)

Very cool that all the stupid ai ads made it look extra useless and embarrassing

Benito is a threat b/c he makes art so alluring and enjoyable you want to understand everything about it and then you end up learning about sugar and slavery and colonialism and the Taínos and Hawaii and then you probably have some thoughts of your own, and that's why art is powerful and dangerous

Like Kendrick, political as hell precisely because it doesn't bother to acknowledge the haters. They're irrelevant, beneath attention. And nothing is more intolerable to fascists than the thought that their enemies are cool, enjoying themselves, and not thinking about them.

Kendrick and Bad Bunny in back to back years is just such masterclass, man. The music, the message, the imagery… that’s America baby.

Wide angle camera is giving Bad Bunny David Byrne big suit energy 🤌

Sight in San Francisco (from a friend)

My dad called my new blog post a “diatribe” and I couldn’t figure out why until I remembered I firmly reiterated my anti AI stance in it because I am a HATER, and he probably took that personally. Anyway I’m nominated for an award

Dr. William Savage, disgraced and resurrected priest of the Eternal Mysteries cult of Death, cruises the wrong sketchy foreigner and accidentally aids an international spy. As penance he must partner with his boyfriend's father, the emotional unstable berserker Bey Famtin Dayem. #questpit #f #a

We don't need "lesser evil" politicians anymore. We need actual champions of good. "Less bad" won't cut it anymore

Sinners is the most nominated film in OSCARS HISTORY!!!

I love this story so much: a teenage South Jersey punk’s quest to track down her mom’s 1994 demo share.inquirer.com/xHc0Cf

Also, for the Fishtown crowd, ice zines and whistles are ready to go, and I have plenty more inside so come get ‘em.

Why am I always painting hands when I suck at painting hands Why am I always doing this on a deadline

Okay. 500 left to go. Not getting any further grace from my landlord, so I have to get this in today.

Goddamn, I don’t know which of my partners was wearing my college sweatpants last, but this waistband is double knotted at a size too small for my ass 😬

It’s probably pretty healthy to be struggling to function normally amidst all this, right?
