🏺 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.

Trans rights are human rights.

Friends, I am as excited as heck to tell y'all about the NEWBERRY MEDIEVAL MINICOMIC PRIZE! It's for emerging cartoonists (i.e. no major publisher work, excepting anthologies) considering making a short work that engages with a medieval subject (fic or nonfic). 1/ www.newberry.org/calendar/new...

Lynchings are not just the past. They are the history of racism—alive in the present. The history they want to erase. Here. Now. Trey Reed. Cory Zukatis. Say their names.

For New Orleans friends, this is a must-see… At 6 p.m. Wednesday (Sept. 24), Friends of the Cabildo will screen the documentary "Big Charity: Death of America’s Oldest Hospital" at the New Orleans Jazz Museum, 400 Esplanade Ave. More: friendsofthecabildo.org.

I know this isn't the news right now. But I have some updated info on Covid vax availability. Several states where CVS/Walgreens weren't offering them or required Rx 1.5 wks ago now have them without Rx because of state officials' actions. But still 13 states where CVS and/or Walgreens require Rx.

Got my flu and covid vaccinations at my local CVS. Made my day!

Seriously, if you don't have a library card, get one. Libraries more than ever need support from people who don't want to ban books. Additionally, unlike Amazon, books are available for free in the library. 😊 It is also a place that provides much-needed services for those with limited means.

please help us spread the word about this mentorship opportunity for writers of color & share it with anyone you think might be interested!

Okay, whew. I've been writing. Some light summer beach reading . . . NOT I begin by going over familiar territory: The authoritarian personality, what the neuroscientists tell us about our political differences. I need this because the new stuff requires context, so please stick with me. . . 1/

Despite the academic capitulations, media collapse, and Trump's attacks on history and race, it's now more important than ever to teach on all of these issues. So I will. I have set up an independent course to teach Race, Media and International Affairs 101 and 102 in October. Sign up here!

I am an American. Yesterday, 8/21, I donated my 99th pint of blood to support Sickle Cell research. It was my mom’s 109th b’day. She was a teacher in a one room school in rural WI. I donate because she could not as she had hepatitis. My tiny effort to make life better. @hcrichardson.bsky.social

Hey guys! Please pass this along!! #SAGAFTRA #UnionStrong💪🏼

The vice president would have us believe that whatever problems we face, the solution is getting rid of “illegals.” Let me tell you something: no immigrant ever taxed me, illegally. No immigrant made it prohibitive to buy a house. No immigrant forced me to give up my health insurance.

Did you know trans athletes only received ONE of 1.2 million college scholarships? Did you know for every 100,000 students 51 will experience a school shooting? Why is the gop spending millions of dollars to fight trans athletes when it is far more likely our children will experience gun violence?

@markjacob.bsky.social The individuals who are the “deciders” of “what is (is not) fit to print”: AGSulzberger, Kahn, Ryan, Lacey, Healy, Kingsbury+ escape much-warranted criticism behind the institutional mantle. We think NYT leadership needs to be named & held accountable for their “product”.

Black women are being used as test subjects for the limits of abuse of power. I want people to not ignore this since this always happens and then when the abuse arrives at people's doorstep, they're surprised. CALL IT OUT NOW.

Marriages, as we all know, are about eels. Right? Right? Well...maybe not. BUT. Eels were sometimes part of medieval dowries. In the early 14th C, for example, a woman named Matilda had as part of her dowery about 67 eels per year from a fishery on the River Loddon. 1/2 🗃️🧪

Absolutely cannot stress how important SEPTA funding is for anyone living in/around Philadelphia. Even if you've never set foot on it, your life will be 100000% impacted by the service cuts. If you haven't contacted your reps, don't even look at me: savesepta.com

Know someone studying abroad ? Someone that left the US because they could see the fascist writing on the wall since MAGA emerged? Tell them to register to vote EVERY year via votefromabroad.org. One voter at a time, we can all be the difference between democracy & fascism! #Pinks #MomSky #ProudBlue

Today would be a great day to release the Epstein files.

An amazingly good list of recommendations

Another Tennessee community is dealing with the same developers who are part of the Christian nationalist effort in Jackson County. MONDAY on @NC5 at 6PM, we travel to that county to investigate.
