even the mainstream fans clocked this!

Just connected these lyrics: - They want a Spring Break that’s fucking lit - Spring breaks loose, but so does fear, he’s going to burn this house to the ground

dont we alll

is this about to pour pure gasoline on my Daisies (1966) obsession

Maggie Rogers just posted new lyrics about alchemy to her insta story and it’s definitely not a big deal at all like I am so completely normal about it

wait MMWM literally opens with her saying that fate will decide.. which it obviously did not, she constructed it to be 13. Mastermind Meanwhile TLOAS is literally her saying hey guys I absolutely did not let fate decide. In fact every ounce of this is constructed. I fabricated it all.

If you haven't seen this extended interview it is very much worth it. Flo talks about the unique experience of becoming an artist to be free but once you become notable you actually become confined again, just differently. www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCWY...

We could spend years demanding a list be released, or we could just believe women…

this is likely a time of Fun Universe-is-a-Gaylor Coincidence, but sure is interesting that the top Google result for "queer meaning of signet ring" is this article published on... Nov. 17th three years ago, when today's 11/17 drop includes a gay ass lil signet ring 🤭 www.vogue.com/article/why-...!

This but anyone who isn’t a Black woman or Black gender expansive person. No one, and I can factually say this, experiences as much online violence (digital misogynoir) as we do.

I know this is mean and reductive and petty but it pisses me off when I see somebody saying "i've received more online harassment than you can even imagine" and then it's a straight white guy. like, okay, well i doubt it lol

There was an ICE watch and rapid responder appreciation event in Rogers Park today, and I wasn't able to attend, but I did send over 20 signed copies of Let This Radicalize You as gifts for my fellow volunteers. There's a virtual appreciation event happening soon, and I will def be present for that.

whatever they release won't be all that there is. These people cannot be trusted. EVER.

A humble request: if you’re asking Sudani folks for teach-ins, speaking requests, media engagements etc consider planning them far in advance to sustain the attention on Sudan and to help ppl manage the overwhelming number of requests coming in atm.

Good morning! May your actions today be guided by kindness and empathy, and may you find a way to contribute to a world that lifts everyone up. Let's make some good trouble!

I wrote about the stomach clenching reality of work now -- where rolling layoffs are the norm and no one feels secure in their job. Happy Monday! www.axios.com/2025/11/16/r...

I'm surprised that this number isn't much larger. I think that people outside of the US haven't actually caught up yet to the fact that fascism is ACTUALLY here at the Federal level. American exceptionalism is also internalized by people outside of the U.S.

“Demonstrators rally in front of an AT&T retail store in Chicago, Illinois, United States, on November 16, 2025, urging the telecommunications company to end its multimillion-dollar contracts with ICE and CBO, which protesters claim contribute to family separations and deportation efforts.”

One of the main reasons I’m *like this* politically was reading left wing publications in 2006 explain what was about to happen in great detail and then watching it happen live over the next couple years

She's monetising, baby! Essays coming on why “gender critical” feminism serves the far right (duh), David Bather Woods’ bio of Schopenhauer, Pluribus, and how quitting academia helped me rediscover the joys of research Subscribe, or don't, I'm not a cop wellreadherring.substack.com/p/a-quick-no...

how is this going btw

like that ideal, Utopian NYT? Yeah, definitely go to the mats for it, it sound amazing and does important work! but the real world one that does shit like ask Ms Rachel "are you funded by Hamas"? my longest 'naaaaaaaaaah' ever

libertarians belong in a zoo

As we speedrun toward a future that leaves food safety to chance, re-live the national crisis that was the cranberryless Thanksgiving of 1959.

America can't be fascist because I'm not doing anything about it

hmm, it turns out leftists were correct and you cannot rely on liberalism to protect you from fascism interesting, I wonder what else they're right about!

another day, another affront to journalism committed by that fascist rag the NYT

liberalism is built around the idea that it's rude to fight your enemies, the only acceptable tactic is meeting them halfway in the spirit of bipartisan unity, until you eventually become them whoops!

That’s Chekhov. In Ibsen you die while trying to impress a young woman. Or die by suicide. Or from syphilis. Or live, but are abandoned by the people you love most.

I think I’m most likely jaded by the current denouement of the Revolution, where the trend is for the government to view the promises of the Declaration through a shrinking aperture rather than a widening one. We do tend to go through these fluctuations but it’s tough to have the 250th at this time

The moralities of the Revolution are a shifting quicksand of gray areas & downright horrors - there is no one side fighting for a moral or ethical “good” - both sides used terrorism & brutality for their own ends - and everywhere you turn, you find historians opining that it was just, good, & moral

I was once working a fundraiser at PBS, and this nice guy was working with me. We got to talking about what recent PBS shows we liked. I said "that new Ken Burns documentary is good. Have you seen it?" He looked shy and embarrassed and quietly said "Yes. I *am* Ken Burns." (And he was.)

Also, it’s a six-part television series and not a postgraduate course curriculum (unfortunately)

Oh they’re fucking up the entire Massachusetts militia narrative - MA was different than any other colony bc it had 150 years of part time and regular militia service, 20k vets from the last war, and the kind of organization and paperwork you only get from weirdo puritans

Love me some Stamp Act Riots When the lt gov of Massachusetts demanded to call out the militia, he was told the militia was already out - they were the ones carrying clubs and torches Also, most of the ruling class disliked the Stamp Act and turned a blind eye to riots - to a point

Lots of people been asking for book recommendations for help with background context for the Ken Burns RevWar documentary, so I’m very grateful to my past self for putting this together so that my current self can be lazy: angrystaffofficer.com/2024/08/22/u...

That said, let's not be too hard on Ken Burns for falling short of this goal. It is unrealistic to expect Burns to somehow craft a coherent narrative out of the rich scholarship that has come out of social history over the past 50 years. Scholars have debated whether it is possible or even...

The central problem that emerged in Episode 1 of Ken Burns's new documentary about the American Revolution is that while he wants to integrate a wide range of voices and the historians responsible for this broader perspective, he refuses to allow it to disrupt a traditional and familiar narrative. 🗃️

The first episode of Ken Burns’ American Revolution could be subtitled: “Bostonians - Pissing People off Since 1765”
