“hole in the ozone layer” levels of erasure. my mom was a project manager who busted her ass for years to make sure IBM was ready for Y2K and completely succeeded, only for it to get turned into a late night joke. funny how the stories of mass collective action to avoid disaster rarely get told

I used to go swimming in this fountain as a kid. It's a LOT cleaner now than it was then... I remember the water being green.

To be clear, absolutely none of these are about books. They're about eradicating people and they're about eradicating free public spaces.

If you come here, as a professor, bragging about how you are using AI in the classroom to "help", be prepared to be digitally swirlied/shoved in a locker, but not before we pin "kick me I'm a little bitch" to your back 😘

Nasty rainy chilly weather outside means it's the night for wearing my ring-tailed lemur kirigumi while drinking hot tea. Yay for coziness.

Periodic reminder that not all activism takes place online in casual and exposed places where you can observe and judge it. Before you decide someone isn't loud enough about a Thing, consider whether they've gone to ground to get the work done. Consider doing the same.

I got a good solid half hour of voice practice in, followed by a solid half hour of guitar practice. This makes me really happy!

Something really sad about right wing Christian jamokes making fake accounts pretending to be communists so they can infiltrate Bluesky. Lol

What is common knowledge in your field, but shocks outsiders? Most of the Middle East had elections in 1877. Iran and the Ottoman Empire had elected Parliaments before European intervention (and, in general European interventions both before and after WW I were antagonistic to democratic efforts)

I think half of the time I log practicing guitar is really just me cussing at my fingers for not bending right.

This video is old, but it is still a great primer for those of you who are new to antifascism. This regime isn't just simply authoritarian, or a kakistocracy. Those terms water down how dangerous it really is. They're fascists, and they want you dead. www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sx4B...

Here's a useful analogy to share when people ask you why you block so much: Think about who you let into your home. Creepy freaks, weirdos, pervs, sickos etc? Nope. Banned. Social media is your digital condo. You are welcome.

We do not need ANY debate about trans women in sports, respectful or not. None. Zero. Zip. What we need to do is affirm and protect the civil and human rights of trans people. We need to ensure that they have access to housing, healthcare, and jobs. #TransRightsAreHumanRights

‘Memorial to a Marriage' 2004. One of my favourite art pieces ever since I saw a bronze case of the original marble statue in the Kelvingrove, Glasgow. The original marble statue is installed on the burial plot of the artist Patricia Cronin and her wife Deborah Kass.

I had big plans to be productive today... and instead, here I am binge-watching history docs on YouTube and trying to figure out the optimal humidifier placement to unclog my poor sinuses. Phooey.

the most important survival strategy we can adopt in this new world is to pick one guy to blame for everything going wrong and really just tear his life apart. this brings me back to the subject of Jared Leto,
