Has anyone read "Medea" by Eilish Quinn? What did you think? I thought it was ok, but Medea should stick with you for awhile, and this Medea didn't. Just scrolling through the daily news is way more intense than this book. #booksky

Shout out to Bishop Pham. Would love to see faith communities of all kinds organizing to bear witness like this.

This is just such a nightmare scenario.

On Juneteenth, we celebrate freedom and recommit ourselves to the work that remains undone. We remember that even in the darkest hours, there is cause to hope for tomorrow’s light.

How has the advance of fascism and the possibility of war with Iran affected your relationship with your cat? #cats

Can anyone reccommend an interesting book about Sparta for general readership?

I have a need to say that ICE officers kidnapping people off the streets and sending them to foreign prisons without due process is not the same as your state or local government issuing a mask mandate during Covid.

How often are other people experiencing dread?

I'm so glad @smith.senate.gov did this.

What is your opinion of George O'Connor Olympians series? #booksky

Yet I have aged 20 years.

As long as we're bringing back miasma, let's bring back ostracism too.

Arlington is my hometown and I knew something didn't feel right about this route. Thanks to @bandoblue.bsky.social for explaining.

Grateful for the leadership of @governorwalz.mn.gov in Minnesota. Of course, I wish he were Vice President and these horrors had not been unleashed.

Happy birthday to the Army, happy Flag Day, happy No Kings Day, happy Pride, happy birthday to Boy George ,if you're celebrating the birthday of author and abolitionist Harriet Beecher Stowe, have a good day...hope I'm not missing anything...

I wasn't aware anyone was hoping Obama would save us (guess I'm out of the loop), but if you are, kindly face reality. If Obama had that kind of influence we wouldn't be here.

So I think I'm going to use Latin for the New Millennium this fall. Does anyone have anything encouraging to say?

Grateful for the cat art in my feed.

I tested my cat's purr just now and it's good. Rumbly but regular. #tinyjoys

I don't listen to much broadcast tv or radio anymore and I kind of miss hearing, "This is a test, this is only a test." #anactualemergency

Freedom to chew is where it's at people. Life sucks without teeth! @defendpublichealth.bsky.social

I'm a huge fan of fluoride. Tooth abscesses are painful, costly, even deadly. #classicistsforhealth #fluoride @defendpublichealth.bsky.social @studentsforsci.bsky.social

I live in a red area of a red state, so if I want to engage with people I disagree with, I can do so easily. I like Bluesky because I can tap into a network of like-minded people that I wouldn't otherwise have access to. Thanks everybody!

I just read The Alienist by Caleb Carr. Did anyone see the TV show? How was it? #booksky

I was standing behind someone with a gun in a holster yesterday at the farmer's market. Guns can really change the vibe of a place. Personalt, I prefer to buy my vegetables without intimidation.

I just feel really blessed that my daughter was a little kid during the Biden administration and was able to get fully vaccinated. Truly one of the best things you can do for a child and I got to do it.

I got my Metamorphoses t-shirt from @flaroh.bsky.social and it is beautiful. Being a middle aged Latin teacher on summer break, sitting on my back porch with my cat, sipping an iced tea and reading a library book, while wearing an Ovid teacher is a vibe.

Well this couldn’t have come at a better time www.bbc.com/news/article...

So I just heard the term "dark MAGA." Dare I ask what the difference between the dark version and the regular one is?
